Understanding Transactive energy system
Under the transactive energy scenario, electricity suppliers, energy markets, the power grid, homes, commercial buildings, and distributed energy resources (DERs), such as electric vehicles and batteries, would “talk” directly or indirectly with each other to negotiate energy needs and costs.
The nation’s security, economy, and modern lifestyle choices require an adaptable and resilient electricity system. Increasingly, this system also must meet public desires for clean energy sources.
PNNL, with its expertise in power grid operations and building controls, was an early thought leader and pioneer in the field. PNNL’s Gridwise.
PNNL’s early field projects and newer efforts continue to lay the groundwork for transactive systems. More recent endeavors include: Distribution System Operations Transactive Energy—Thisnational.
Although substantial progress has been made, getting to the future transactive energy system won’t be easy. It will require advanced and automated tools and methods, as well as extensive field testing.
In the rapidly advancing solar landscape, Transactive energy system plays a pivotal role in enhancing grid resilience and energy autonomy. Modern advancements are moving beyond simple storage, integrating AI-driven forecasting and high-density battery chemistry to maximize the ROI of photovoltaic assets.
