2022 Transactive Energy Theory Workshop 

Transactive Energy Theory Workshop invites presentations on the following areas: 

Workshop Area 1: Theory of Designing Customer Incentives under Changing Power System Paradigm: 

The question of monetary incentives for consumers participating in a Transactive Energy System is central to its success. This is a challenging task, exacerbated by the fact that power systems are faced with new challenges. This workshop topic will explore different avenues which impact monetary and non-monetary value streams of the involved participants in Transactive Energy Systems. This workshop area invites presentations on the topics of addressing the changing human behavior and power system conditions as well as innovative metrics designed to support the development of the rate-design. Special importance will be given to the topics which focus on the underlying theory of human behavior while addressing equity, resilience, and climate change concerns while developing an efficient rate-design. 

Workshop Area 2: Extracting DER Flexibility through Innovative Control and Economic Principles: 

A central task of the Transactive Energy System is to coordinate its participant to provide flexibility to the power grid, which can be utilized to alleviate issues (e.g., congestion). This workshop area is focused on exploring techniques from control and economic theory which can help design a systematic procedure for modeling, coordinating, and measuring power system flexibility. This workshop area invites presentations on the 1) modeling and prediction of flexibility, 2) coordination of flexibility and 3) metrics to support theoretically available flexibility in the system. The emphasis of the workshop area would be on fundamental control and economic theory principles which help address quantifying flexibility in the system.
