Privacy-preserving transactive energy systems: Key topics and open research challenges
This manuscript aims to formalize and conclude the discussions initiated during the PriTEM workshop 22-23 March 2023. We present important ideas and discussion topics in the context of transactive energy systems. Moreover, the conclusions from the discussions articulate potential aspects to be explored in future studies on transactive energy management. Particularly, these conclusions cover research topics in energy technology and energy informatics, energy law, data law, energy market and socio-psychology that are relevant to the seamless integration of renewable energy resources and the transactive energy systems-in smart microgrids-focusing on distributed frameworks such as peer-to-peer (P2P) energy trading. We clarify issues, identify barriers, and suggest possible solutions to open questions in diversified topics, such as block-chain interoperability, consumer privacy and data sharing, and participation incentivization. Furthermore, we also elaborate challenges associated with cross-disciplinary collaboration and coordination for transactive energy systems, and enumerate the lessons learned from our work so far.
