China’s electric vehicle (EV) fleet has reached 30 million, and the effective utilization of their charging and discharging capabilities can provide substantial regulation support to restore supply–demand balance. A prerequisite to achieving this benefit is the proper estimation and utilization of the regulation potential inherent in EVs. This paper focuses on charging stations and introduces a station-aggregator response resource trading mechanism considering energy–power coupling of response capability. First, the response capacity of charging stations is estimated from both energy and power perspectives. Next, trading behavior models are developed separately for charging stations and aggregators. Finally, a joint resource trading mechanism based on a Stackelberg game is proposed to coordinate responses between these entities. Simulation results validate the effectiveness of the proposed estimation method and the economic advantages of the trading mechanism, thereby realizing a win–win outcome. Full article

The global energy transition is accelerating, bringing new challenges to power systems. A high penetration of renewable energy increases grid volatility. Virtual power plants (VPPs) address this by dynamically responding to market signals. They integrate renewables, energy storage, and flexible loads. Additionally, they participate in multi-tier markets, including energy, ancillary services, and capacity trading. This study proposes a load factor-based VPP pre-dispatch model for optimal resource allocation. It incorporates the coupling effects of electricity–carbon markets. A Nash negotiation strategy is developed for multi-VPP cooperation. The model uses an accelerated adaptive alternating-direction multiplier method (AA-ADMM) for efficient demand response. The approach balances computational efficiency with privacy protection. Revenue is allocated fairly based on individual contributions. The study uses data from a VPP dispatch center in Shanxi Province. Shanxi has abundant wind and solar resources, necessitating advanced scheduling methods. Cooperative operation boosts profits for three VPPs by CNY 1101, 260, and 823, respectively. The alliance’s total profit rises by CNY 2184. Carbon emissions drop by 31.3% to 8.113 tons, with a CNY 926 gain over independent operation. Post-cooperation, VPP1 and VPP2 see slight emission increases, while VPP3 achieves major reductions. This leads to significant low-carbon benefits. This method proves effective in cutting costs and emissions. It also balances economic and environmental gains while ensuring fair profit distribution.

Accurate residential load forecasting plays a crucial role in optimizing demand-side resource integration and fulfilling the needs of demand-side response initiatives. To tackle challenges, such as data heterogeneity, constrained communication resources, and data security in smart grid load prediction, this study introduces a novel differential privacy federated learning algorithm. Leveraging the federated learning framework, the approach incorporates weather and temporal factors as key variables influencing load patterns, thereby creating a privacy-preserving load forecasting solution. The model is built upon the Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM) network architecture. Experimental results demonstrate that the proposed algorithm enables federated training without the need for sharing raw load data, facilitating load scheduling and energy management operations in smart grids while safeguarding user privacy. Furthermore, it exhibits superior prediction accuracy and communication efficiency compared to existing federated learning methods. Full article
