In the context of the global active response to climate change and the promotion of energy transformation, the energy consumption quota market and the carbon trading market are undergoing a continuous process of improvement and development. Under this development trend, the trading of thermal power units is facing various complex environmental quota constraints, which has significantly changed the traditional trading pattern.To effectively address the challenges of optimizing bidding strategies and making trading decisions in the trading of thermal power units under the situation of multi-market linkage, this paper proposes a trading framework and strategies for thermal power units in the carbon trading-energy consumption quota-electricity market.Firstly, the operation of the carbon trading-energy consumption quota-electricity market itself and their interactive trading mechanisms are decomposed and analyzed in detail. The internal logic and interrelationships of each market are thoroughly explored, and for the first time, a trading framework for thermal power units in the multi-market environment is designed, covering initial quota allocation, market trading processes, and constraint transmission mechanisms.Secondly, the essential characteristics of energy consumption and carbon emission variables under the trading framework are intensively studied and transformed into trading cost variables of thermal power units. Based on this, the possible trading strategy sets for thermal power units under multiple cost constraints are determined.Thirdly, an electricity market clearing model with the minimization of comprehensive trading cost as the objective function is constructed. This model fully takes into account the basic element of the market economy, namely supply-demand balance, as well as key factors related to unit operation characteristics such as unit output and unit ramping. Meanwhile, the energy consumption quota and carbon emission rights are incorporated into the constraint conditions to solve the problem of resource optimization allocation under multi-market linkage.Finally, through simulating four scenarios where four typical thermal power generators participate in the market, the research results show that: In terms of the cleared electricity quantity of each generating unit in different scenarios, compared with the scenario where only the electricity market is participated in, after the power generators participate in multiple markets, scenario four stands out, with its cleared electricity quantity reaching as high as 5292.54 MW・h, among which the cleared electricity quantities of G1, G3, and G4 are 803.73, 2070.72, and 1213 MW・h respectively; In terms of the time-segmented clearing electricity price, compared with scenario one, the average clearing electricity prices in the electricity market of scenario two, scenario three, and scenario four increase by 8.54%, 8.54%, and 9.27% respectively; In terms of the time-segmented carbon dioxide emissions and energy consumption, compared with scenario one, two, and three, the carbon emissions in scenario four decrease by 2.70%, 1.14%, and 0.84% respectively, and the energy consumption decreases by 5.8%, 2.47%, and 1.74% respectively. These data indicate that the more markets the generators participate in, the higher the trading cost will be. However, it also reveals that although the introduction of the energy consumption quota market and the carbon trading market increases the power generation cost to a certain extent, it can significantly reduce carbon emissions. This positive effect is conducive to promoting the transformation and upgrading of the thermal power industry towards a green and low-carbon direction. In addition, in the sensitivity analysis, the impacts of changes in carbon price, energy consumption quota price, and mutual recognition ratio on the profits of thermal power units are further explored. It is found that the profit margin in scenario one is negative and then gradually increases to 6.93% in scenario four. The series of simulation results and sensitivity analysis results corroborate each other, providing comprehensive and detailed reference bases for relevant policy makers and market managers, which is helpful for formulating more scientific and reasonable policies and management measures to promote the sustainable development of the energy market.
