Background
Project funded by U.S. Department of EnergyOffice of Electricity Delivery and Energy ReliabilityOffice of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy
Buildings Technology Office
DOE views transactive systems as key enabler for engaging distributed energy resources (DERs) in both the electric power system and building energy management systems.
About the project:Developing a valuation methodology for transactive systems When applied, the methodology will yield costs and benefits of alternative scenarios that can be compared or rankedCosts and benefits can be mapped to relevant stakeholders in order to understand impacts from multiple perspectives
4
Project Context
Goals of transactive systems include:Providing a means for engaging and coordinating large populations of customer-owned, third-party or utility-owned distributed assetsUse of transparent, competitive means Providing flexibility required by an adaptive, reliable, environmentally sensitive, and cost-effective future electric system
In DOE’s Quadrennial Energy Review (QER) energy priorities were developed. Valuation came down strongly as a priority.Many studies have attempted to determine the value of solar and other distributed energy resources (DERs)Existing valuation methodologies are not well suited for considering transactive/market-based resourcesIncorporating transactive into valuations is challengingValuation methodologies are not consistent, repeatable and transparent
5
Project context, cont.
Project desired outcomes Foundational methodology that adequately considers transactive systems, from both the grid and building perspectivesConsider all relevant stakeholder perspectivesValuation methodology with broad applicability for:
Those designing and conducting comprehensive energy valuationsThose who want to compare valuation studies (and their methods) against each other

Prior meeting - key takeaways
Current valuation and resource planning methodologies don’t consider temporal and locational value – this is important!Heterogeneity of systems and associated value is a reality –drivers/value vary by region and feeder; No one size fits all valueNeed for consistent, repeatable and transparent analytical processes
Be able to compare studies on the same value basisNeed same generally recognized methodology
Value of resilience is important and difficult to quantify – methodology should include resilience even if its clumsy and inadequate at firstFor IOUs, regulators establish whether utilities can recover their costs
Case must be made to regulators Regulators need to be part of the conversation
Important and hard-to-quantify value of increased customer choice and local control should be built into methodologyEquity issues matter – must consider impact on non-early adopters and those on fixed incomes 8
Key takeaways, cont.
Transactive systems are not the only answerAncillary services provided by smart inverters may be more readily achieved through equipment standards, than transactive marketsAdoption needs to be part of conversation - if no adoption, no value
Substantial value is derived through planning timeframeCapital budgeting priorities established through planningDistribution system (planning) is changingCurrent planning methods are limited
Vendors are approaching utilities with new products/services –methodology could objectively show which are cost effectiveImproved asset utilization and oversupply mitigation are valuablePlatform and markets can create new opportunities and valueUtilize tools already developed – don’t reinvent wheelInclude more utilities in the conversation

Meeting purpose
Desired outcomes - MEETING: a) Feedback from participants on how to improve
applicability, design and uptake of methodology being proposed
b) Information about established models or data sources that could be used in this project
c) Agreement on basis of comparison of valuation methodologies
