Abstract: Seaports are significant energy consumers and sources of carbon emissions within the maritime industry. To address this problem, an energy hub (EH) can be established as an intensive energy interconnection center. This paper proposes a carbon emission flow (CEF) model based on the energy hub in seaport, which monitors the carbon emissions generated by the internal energy conversion unit operating within the hub. Additionally, a carbon integrated energy pricing strategy based on non-cooperative game theory is proposed. Based on duality theory and gradient descent method, an iterative algorithm is designed to seek the global optimal solution satisfying the Nash equilibrium point. The aim of the strategy is to encourage seaport energy consumers to adjust their energy consumption strategy according to the optimal benefits and reduce carbon emissions. A comparative study of three different strategy cases are conducted to evaluate the effectiveness of the proposed strategy. Numerical simulation results show the reduction of the total energy consumption and carbon emissions of the system, which is conducive to realizing the low-carbon operation of the seaport energy system.
