This paper introduces the carbon emission constraint into the economic dispatching of power system.then combined with the blockchain theories, the methods of particle swarm optimization and multi-objective particle swarm optimization(MOPSO) are employed to simulate the economic and environmental scheduling of power generation system based on six thermal power units. Research shows the constraint processing approach is practical and effective, and it can firmly adhere to equality requirements, which is superior to other algorithms' constraint processing methods; the algorithm is stable, and the global optimal solution can be determined under different initial solutions. In the process of multi-objective optimization, the solutions of POF obtained by using slope method are evenly distributed.
