In the context of large-scale renewable energy integration driven by China’s dual-carbon goals, and under distribution network scenarios with continuously increasing shares of wind and photovoltaic generation, this paper proposes a source–grid–load–storage coordinated planning method embedded with a multi-agent game mechanism. First, the interest transmission pathways among distributed generation operators (DGOs), distribution network operators (DNOs), energy storage operators (ESOs), and electricity users are mapped, based on which a profit model is established for each stakeholder. Building on this, a coordinated planning framework for active distribution networks (DN) is developed under the assumption of bounded rationality. Through an evolutionary-game process among DGOs, DNOs, and ESOs, and in combination with user-side demand response, the model jointly determines the optimal network reinforcement scheme as well as the optimal allocation of distributed generation (DG) and energy storage system (ESS) resources. Case studies are then conducted to verify the feasibility and effectiveness of the proposed method. The results demonstrate that the approach enables coordinated planning of DN, DG, and ESS, effectively guides users to participate in demand response, and improves both planning economy and renewable energy accommodation. Moreover, by explicitly capturing the trade-offs among multiple stakeholders through evolutionary-game interactions, the planning outcomes align better with real-world operational characteristics.
