description In the context of the dual-carbon goals, this study proposes a cooperative game-theoretic optimization strategy to enhance the energy utilization efficiency, operational efficiency, and cost-effectiveness of integrated energy systems (IESs) while simultaneously reducing carbon emissions, improving operational flexibility, and mitigating renewable energy variability. To achieve these goals, an IES framework integrating power-to-gas (P2G) technology and carbon capture and storage (CCS) facilities is established to regulate carbon emissions. The system incorporates P2G conversion units and thermal components—specifically, hydrogen fuel cells, electrolyzers, reactors, and electric boilers—aiming to maximize energy conversion efficiency and asset utilization. A cooperative game-theoretic optimization model is developed to facilitate collaboration among multiple stakeholders within the coalition, which employs the Shapley value method to ensure equitable distribution of the cooperative surplus, thereby maximizing collective benefits. The model is solved using an improved gray wolf optimizer (IGWO). The simulation results demonstrate that the proposed strategy effectively coordinates multi-IES scheduling, significantly reduces carbon emissions, facilitates the efficient allocation of cooperation gains, and maximizes overall system utility.
