ABSTRACT
Distributed energy sharing is an important means for enterprises to improve energy efficiency and
reduce carbon emissions. However, the uncertainty of benefits under the carbon tax policy triggers
the disappointment aversion behavior of decision makers, which has an important impact on
the energy sharing decision of industrial clusters. This paper adopts the differential game approach to
study the dynamic coordination problem of distributed energy sharing in industrial clusters, explores
the optimal equilibrium strategies under different decision-making models, analyzes the impacts
of carbon tax rate and disappointment aversion behavior on decision-making, and finally conducts
numerical simulations. The results show that the equilibrium results of centralized decision-making
are better than those of decentralized decision-making, and the cost-sharing contract can achieve
the coordination of decentralized decision-making. The higher the degree of disappointment aversion
of industrial cluster members, the lower the motivation of energy sharing. Increasing the carbon tax rate
is conducive to improving the energy low carbon level and energy sharing synergy effect of enterprises.
However, when the initial carbon emissions of enterprises are high, it will lead to a decline in their
profits. Therefore, the government should choose an appropriate carbon tax rate according to the initial
carbon emissions of enterprises.
