This paper focuses on power system scheduling problems, aiming to enhance energy utilization efficiency through multi-energy complementarity. To support the “dual-carbon” strategic goals, this paper proposes a coordinated dispatch model for hydro–thermal–wind–solar–pumped storage integrated energy systems, aiming to enhance energy utilization efficiency and system flexibility while reducing carbon emissions. To address issues such as premature convergence and low computational efficiency in traditional optimization algorithms for multi-energy complementary dispatch, an improved Artificial Bee Colony algorithm named Super-quality Variation Burst Artificial Bee Colony (SVBABC) is developed, which incorporates elite solution guidance and an explosion variation mechanism. Simulation results based on a regional practical power system demonstrate that compared to classical methods (e.g., Artificial Bee Colony, Fireworks Algorithm, and Ant Lion Optimizer), SVBABC exhibits significant advantages in global optimization capability and convergence stability. This study provides an innovative solution for efficient dispatch of multi-energy complementary systems. Through synergistic regulation of pumped storage and thermal power, the accommodation capability of renewable energy is effectively enhanced, thereby providing critical technical support for the development of new power systems.
