Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In a smart microgrid context, transactive energy is one of the more exciting developments in energy management. The concept of Transactive Energy Management (TEM) was introduced by the GridWise Architecture Council (GWAC) and has become a very important ingredient in modern smart microgrid control. Transactive control (TC) generally includes economic intelligence that use pricing signals to coordinate devices throughout the microgrid system on an economic bargaining or price bargaining principles. In this way, the smart microgrid controller can actually make decisions on energy generation and energy consumption based on time-varying pricing signals. Transactive smart microgrid Control (TsmC) use mathematical algorithms than can respond to dynamic pricing and microgrid energy demand, creating a type of interactive bargaining platform for energy users and appliances to bargain for energy purchases and usage within the microgrid. It can be viewed as a two-way transaction system in which energy can be generated, supplied and directed to where energy required. This book takes an in depth look at intelligent and smart control in a microgrid context. It deals with topics such as stochastic microgrid modelling and control optimization, smart microgrid and supply side modelling, smart microgrid demand side management and control optimization in both autonomous or islanded smart microgrids as well as grid connected microgrids.
