3 Date and Times June 13, 2017 (8:00 AM t 5:00 PM) June 14, 2017 (8:00 AM t 5:00 PM) June 15, 2017 (8:00 AM t 4:00 PM) Submissin Prcess Abstracts fr papers shuld be submitted n later than February 28, the abstract t gridwiseac.crdinatr@pnnl.gv Please review the Subject Areas, and Tpics fr Panel Sessins and Wrkshps described belw and clearly indicate thse that are mst aligned with what yu have selected fr the basis f yur talk. Abstracts shuld be n lnger than 500 wrds. Subject Areas Abstracts fr papers are being sught t address transactive energy methds and systems in three tracks: Electric Grid, Buildings and Facilities, and Grid Integratin. We plan t rganize the presentatins int these three tracks, plus sme sessins specifically geared fr the NIST TE Challenge wrk: Real Wrld Challenges Areas fr Standardizatin TE in Practice NIST Transactive Energy Challenge Summit In additin, it is anticipated that papers will als be classified by the fur main categries frm the TE GWAC Framewrk. Therefre, the cnference will address nt nly the main areas f the Transactive Energy Framewrk, but als will align with the GWAC Transactive Energy Radmap, which will be available sn. By aligning challenges, areas fr standardizatin, and feedback frm existing implementatins with these tpics, we intend t link examples frm Regulatry and Plicy, Business Mdels and Value Realizatin, System Design and Architecture, and Physical and Cyber Technlgies and Infrastructure frm ne track t anther. -3-

4 The panel sessins will be fllwed by facilitated wrkshp sessins fr in-depth discussins f the panel tpics and presentatins. Examples f the questins that may be asked during the wrkshp sessins are prvided belw t guide in preparing abstracts. Sme abstracts may be selected fr plenary panels. GWAC has a strategic fcus n interperability in electric grids. Therefre, authrs shuld, if pssible, include discussins f the rles f requirements and standards fr interperability as they relate t Transactive Energy Systems in their submittals. Tpics fr Panel Sessins & Wrkshps Real Wrld Challenges Over the last few years transactive energy systems have mved frm a tpic f academic discussin t panel sessins at mst energy cnferences. We are seeing grwing interest frm regulatrs, utilities, and third parties. Amng the questins that peple pse are hw des this impact me? Or what prblems can this help address? Or I can see a use fr this apprach, but when shuld I start preparing t use it? This track will fcus n real wrld changes and challenges t the electric infrastructure, and will set the cntext fr the cnference by fcusing n prblems that need t be addressed. The fllwing is a sample f relevant questins t address fr this track: Regulatry and Plicy At what level f DER penetratin shuld we be asking ur utilities t start testing these appraches? D the existing regulatins supprt Transactive Energy Systems? What wuld be the implicatins f nt having all states participate in a multi-state Transactive Energy System? What wuld be the main differences t cnsider in designing a Transactive Energy Systems fr multi-state r single state deplyment? Hw wuld regulatins balance the bligatin t serve all custmers with a Transactive Energy market? Business Mdels and Value Realizatin Wh makes mney frm Transactive Energy Systems and hw are the benefits measured and valued? What grid (r ther) parameters prvide gd leading indicatrs that can be mnitred t indicate that establishing Transactive Energy Systems wuld be beneficial? Wh pays the cst fr deplying and perating a Transactive Energy System? -4-

5 Opprtunities fr new business mdels and markets Hw will the value assciated with the bjectives be quantified and mnetized? What cst-justificatins can Transactive Energy Systems prvide fr building managers? What types f challenges are transactive energy systems best suited? System Design and Architecture What are the current ptins fr deplying a Transactive Energy System? Are there different appraches and hw d they vary? Hw lng des it take t implement a Transactive Energy Systems? In what areas might new standards be needed t implement Transactive Energy Systems? What is the relatinship between the value f a transactive energy system frm an peratinal perspective and a lng-term planning perspective? Physical and Cyber Technlgies and Infrastructure Hw d Transactive Energy Systems integrate and interperate with my existing grid? Wh is respnsible fr perating a Transactive Energy System? What is the interface t any existing markets? What autmatin is required/available t supprt participants? In what ways (if any) d Transactive Energy Systems change r impact custmer data prvisins frm privacy r ther perspectives? Areas fr Standardizatin This track prvides a lgical prgressin frm the challenges facing the industry. Since temprary slutins r pilt systems ften becme lng term slutins, the bjective here is identify areas f standardizatin where: Different appraches t Transactive Energy Systems can cnverge Existing standards can be adapted t Transactive Energy Systems, There are cmmn challenges amenable t cmmn appraches and standards, and Vendr supprt and sharing f best practices wuld develp. These areas will be classified in the same way as the ther tracks, recgnizing that there are benefits t cmmn appraches frm regulatry requirements, system design and s n. Papers submitted t this track shuld fcus n an area f ptential benefit that standardizatin wuld prvide t ne f the fllwing areas: Regulatry and Plicy Business Mdels and Value Realizatin -5-

6 System Design and Architecture Physical and Cyber Technlgies and Infrastructure Transactive Energy Systems in Practice This track will ffer practical perspectives frm transactive energy systems that have been implemented already. Papers are encuraged that address each f the fur areas belw: Regulatry and Plicy Business Mdels and Value Realizatin System Design and Architecture Physical and Cyber Technlgies and Infrastructure This shuld be dne by explaining: What challenges the systems were created t address, Hw Transactive Energy Systems were presented t and embraced by utilities, service prviders, vendrs, and custmers, What areas caused the mst challenge, and Which issues (design, rules, financial, technlgy etc.) culd have been imprved and made mre effective had sme frm f standardizatin been in place Additinal Infrmatin We expect cnference attendees t include regulatrs, plicy makers, utility managers, system implementers, researchers and academics. We are encuraging a brad interchange f ideas t facilitate the further develpment f transactive energy methds and systems within the electric pwer, energy management and related cmmunities. The perspective fr discussin is described in varius GWAC publicatins including the Interperability Cntext-setting Framewrk dcument, the Transactive Energy Framewrk, the GridWise Transactive Energy Decisin Maker s Checklist, and a Transactive Energy Inf-graphic available at: -6-

7 At TES2017 we will again prvide an pprtunity fr vendrs t exhibit transactive energy systems prducts. NIST Transactive Energy Summit The NIST TE Challenge is wrking t advance mdeling and simulatin fr Transactive Energy while wrking with industry stakehlders t better understand Transactive Energy and hw t implement it. The Natinal Institute f Standards and Technlgy (NIST) in cllabratin with the GWAC and thers has established the Transactive Energy Mdeling and Simulatin Challenge fr the Smart Grid ( TE Challenge ) as a means t bring tgether researchers and cmpanies with simulatin tls t cllabrate with utilities, prduct develpers, and ther grid stakehlders t create and demnstrate mdeling and simulatin platfrms while applying Transactive Energy appraches t real grid prblems. In Phase I f the Challenge participants wrked t create a C-simulatin Framewrk with extensible Cmpnent Mdel, cannical experiment/simulatin and cre analytics. These are the building blcks n which Phase II simulatin effrts are being built. In additin, teams are wrking n advancing ur understanding f business and regulatry develpments, micrgrid implementatins, and Transactive Energy standards. The gal is t prvide technical results t guide utilities, regulatrs, and legislatrs in applying Transactive Energy. Fllwing last year s successful TE Challenge Summit (TESC 2016), NIST will cnvene a TE Challenge Summit as part f TESC 2017 t prvide participating teams the pprtunity t present their wrk and successes. While teams are encuraged t submit abstracts t any f the tracks accrding t the nature f their effrts and results, abstracts are als encuraged describing their activities as a participant in the TE Challenge. The prducts f the challenge will help the industry better understand the ptential fr transactive energy and create a path fr real-wrld trial implementatins and this track is t assure that all TE Challenge teams have the pprtunity t present their wrk.
