Challenge: Market Structures that Align w/Operational Controls
Current market designs may act as a control element in a feedback control loop, whether intended or not. This loop could be closed around a substantial portion of the power delivery system, including multiple operational tiers as illustrated. Feedback of state variable (not system outputs) causes the equilibrium price to move so as to re-establish the balance between supply and demand, and moves in the equilibrium price cause changes in available generation, DR and DER.
12
Transactive Energy = Economics + Controls
Operational Optimization with pervasive DER requires more than market efficiency – it requires joint optimization with real-time operational controls across Bulk power system & Distribution
13
Distributed Controls Across 3 Layers
Need Coordinated Optimization at Each Layer
14
Laminar Control + Network Utility Maximization
Structured network of optimization
nodes communicates hierarchically via
scalar signals to cooperate in solving a
joint optimal control problem.
Node tree starts at the balancing
authority and spans transmission,
distribution, and even prosumer
elements if needed.
Layered decomposition can be mapped
onto the structure of the power grid to
solve the control issues of federation,
disaggregation, and constraint fusion
while allowing for local “selfish”
optimization.

Future of Customer Response
Potential exists to leverage customer’s flexible DER including responsive demand, DG, storage, EVs and inverters to mutual benefit. Challenge is aligning operational needs, customers willingness with a compelling economic value proposition.

Transactive Energy: Engineering-Economic Based Operational Controls
“Transactive Energy is the ability of customers and others, using value driven control systems, to optimize their use and sale of electric services to markets and grid operators to enhance economic efficiency and reliability.”
Addresses need for reconciliation of converging multi-party business and operational objectives and constraints
Not just markets, but also a broader integrated cyber-physical control system to ensure reliable electric services
