The paper establishes a low-carbon operation model for natural gas long-distance pipelines based on different energy structure backgrounds used to calculate the carbon emissions and energy consumption of multi-energy sources to reduce the carbon emissions.It adopts an improved particle swarm optimization algorithm(NHPSO-JTVAC)to solve the model as well as provide an optimal scheduling scheme and takes the second and third line western parallel pipeline section of China's west-to-East gas pipeline as a practical case to analyze.The results show that the carbon emissions in the existing system decreased by 28.80%and energy consumption reduced by 23.05%after the optimization.If such new energy sources as wind and solar power are introduced into the pipeline system,carbon emissions could decrease by 32.20%and energy consumption would decrease by 22.11%.Considering the relative stability of photovoltaic power generation compared to wind power generation,it is recommended to introduce solar power in different time periods to reduce carbon emissions in the paper.
