Key Simulation Attributes• Market participants represent

DER owners & operators (including flexible loads)

• A market operator validates, settles, and records transactions between market participants

Expected Learnings• Distribution domain market

behavior will be tested under various scenarios: peak load days, sunny days, windy days, etc.

• Energy producer level of involvement given increasing/decreasing operation costs

Reduce Energy Costs

• Compensate DER for reduction in bulk purchases

• Incentivize DER to generate during costly hours in cost-causing areas.

Reduce Infrastructure Strain

• Schedule DER to manage distribution system asset usage

• Schedule DER to shift system loading

Create new business models

• Compensate DER for time and location specific value

• Redistribute costs previously paid to bulk system as revenues within distribution system

E N E R G Y M A R K E T P U R C H A S E M a n a g e m e n tIncentivize local generation of energy to reduce system losses and costs.

Target Overall system load

• Generate price incentive based on capacity price

• Schedule DER to reduce contribution during system peak hours

Reduce need for excess bulk generation

• Incentivize DER that can respond to bulk signals and distribution needs

• Decrease ratepayer burden due to expensive bulk assets

Optimize DER Operations

• Align DER operation with bulk system needs

• Account for DER costs in scheduling their operation
