Abstract: As the penetration of distributed renewable energy gradually increases, prosumer groups in high-altitude areas are being expanded. However, the operation of these prosumers in high-altitude areas faces numerous challenges. To address the issue, this paper proposes a double layer energy cooperation framework for high-altitude prosumer groups, considers peer aggregation and shared composite energy storage, aims to adapt to the trend of diversified energy interactions and improve the economic efficiency, maximize social welfare and ensure the continuous growth of the sharing market of prosumers operations in high altitude areas. To meet the diversified energy interaction needs of prosumers, a composite energy storage provider, an energy aggregator, and a two-stage profit clearing scheme are proposed. Furthermore, the overall benefits of the framework and the impact of profit clearing schemes on fairness under various scenarios are studied, and the comprehensive effects of the double layer energy framework are evaluated. The study results show that compared to independent operation by prosumers, under the guidance of shared electricity prices and composite energy storage providers, the economic benefits, evaluation indicators and energy storage utilization efficiency have all been improved. In addition, compared to other profit distribution modes, the two-stage profit clearing scheme proposed in this paper has higher fairness, which greatly encourages the participation of interested entities in energy cooperation. This study provides a feasible framework for energy cooperation among prosumers, and the framework's effectiveness is well-validated.
