Power Distribution Network (Transactive)

Project Description

Simulated Transactive Power Distribution Network — Some power grid users, called prosumers, intermittently generate their own power via renewables such as solar panels or wind turbines. Our team is working with local power utility Avista to simulate the impact of managing transactions between users with minimal utility interaction. We aim to create a robust simulation of a small-scale power system integrated with automated pricing software.
