Abstract: In the context of the coordinated operation of microgrids and community energy storage systems, achieving optimal resource allocation under complex and uncertain conditions has emerged as a prominent research focus. This study proposes a robust collaborative optimization model for microgrids and community energy storage systems under a game-theoretic environment where potential fraudulent behavior is considered. A multi-energy collaborative system model is first constructed, integrating multiple uncertainties in source-load pricing, and a max-min robust optimization strategy is employed to improve scheduling resilience. Secondly, a game-theoretic model is introduced to identify and suppress manipulative behaviors by dishonest microgrids in energy transactions, based on a Nash bargaining mechanism. Finally, a distributed collaborative solution framework is developed using the Alternating Direction Method of Multipliers and Column-and-Constraint Generation to enable efficient parallel computation. Simulation results indicate that the framework reduces the alliance’s total cost from CNY 66,319.37 to CNY 57,924.89, saving CNY 8394.48. Specifically, the operational costs of MG1, MG2, and MG3 were reduced by CNY 742.60, CNY 1069.92, and CNY 1451.40, respectively, while CES achieved an additional revenue of CNY 5130.56 through peak shaving and valley filling operations. Furthermore, this distributed algorithm converges within 6–15 iterations and demonstrates high computational efficiency and robustness across various uncertain scenarios.
