Transactive Energy Control Mechanism for Future Power System

The growth of renewable energies on the demand side, as an important step for decarbonization and transition to the smart grid, poses serious challenges to control the system and maintain stability. Transactive energy control (TEC) is introduced as an effective approach in which distributed control methods are utilized rather than centralized ones. Although many studies have been devoted to utilizing demand flexibility, electric vehicle, and microgrids for control purposes in TEC scheme, there is a far distance to implement these studies in reality. The reasons are ignoring or partially considering uncertainty management, connect networks, the relation among transmission systems and distribution systems. To tackle these challenges, a TEC scheme is proposed the proposal in which uncertainty is managed locally and all agents (i.e., power plants, big demands, distribution systems, aggregators, microgrids, etc.) are hierarchically connected to each other. Furthermore, several separate networks are considered according to reality. To implement this scheme alternating direction method of multipliers (ADMM) will be utilized.
