The invention relates to an active power distribution network operational control method based on minimum carbon emission, and belongs to the field of low-carbon electric power and control technology. The active power distribution network operational control method based on minimum carbon emission comprises the steps of inputting a topological structure, systematic parameters and operation initial state data of an active power distribution network to form a basic database; setting the operational control variable of the active power distribution network, and controlling the carbon emission of the active power distribution network by adjusting the output power in each time frame of a distributed power supply and the operating mode and charging and discharging power in each time frame of energy storage equipment; establishing an operation optimization model of the active power distribution network based on low carbon, solving the model and implementing control. By means of the active power distribution network operational control method based on minimum carbon emission, equipment coordination control and operation optimization control over the active power distribution network can be achieved, the low-carbon energy-saving potential of the electric power industry on the links of power distribution and consumption is further sufficiently exploited, and carbon emission of the power distribution network is effectively lowered.
