With the gradual increase of distributed energy permeability, virtual power plant technology has gradually become a key technology to solve the large-scale development of renewable energy. This paper focuses on multi-objective optimization of gas-electricity interconnected virtual power plant. Firstly, this paper integrates wind power, photovoltaic power generation, convention gas turbine, power-to-gas, gas storage tank, etc. into virtual power plants. At the same time, it links the public power grid and natural gas network. The load side includes electricity load, hydrogen fuel-cell vehicle load and natural gas load. The demand response is introduced to adjust the terminal load. Then, combined with power balance and other constraints, the multi-objective model of the gas-electricity interconnected virtual power plant is constructed with the optimization objectives of economic benefit of operation, peak regulation, and carbon dioxide emission. The multi-objective optimization model is transformed into a single-objective model by weighing each objective function. Finally, in order to verify the validity and feasibility of the established model, a virtual power plant in a certain area is selected as an example to compare the operation results of four scenarios. The results show that: 1) The multi-objective optimization model of the gas-electricity interconnected virtual power plant can achieve the optimal comprehensive benefits of economy, stability and environmental protection; 2) Power-to-gas and demand response have the synergistic effect of peak regulation, which improves the stability of the system; 3) Power-to-gas increases the amount of grid-connected clean energy and reduces carbon emissions; 4) The connection between the virtual power plant and the public network enables flexible energy interaction, and the rational purchase and sale of electricity strategies can optimize operation.
