Subject: Fwd: [OpenADR Members] OASIS Common Transactive Services review request

Hi,

Polaris has not been active on this list but we have experience with Transactive Energy and share the following perspective.Â

Polaris operates an OpenADR-compliant platform that monitors and controls agricultural irrigation pumps in California and aggregates load in DR programs. As part of an EPIC project we integrated with the TeMix platform and conducted a very successful Transactive Energy pilot thatÂsaw load shift of 67% from ramp hours among participatingÂirrigation pumps. This week, the CPUC approved a program proposed by Valley Clean Energy to offer agricultural customers a dynamic tariff based on CPUC's UNIDE framework that will employ the Polaris/TeMix integration.

I have worked in this industry for more than a decade, in California, building products and delivering services and I could not understand the CTS after several readings. There is no way that a company like mine would attempt to implement that and I can't imagine that others that are less focused on California load management would go near it either.Â

Given that implementing the TeMix platform was straightforward, understandable, and completed by one developer in a few weeks, the question that begs itself is what is missing from TeMix, which is up and running and will be used for real buyers/sellers within the next few months (in the VCE program and the approved SCE pilots)? The LSE that we are working with found that it offers everything they need to signal appropriate prices and execute transactions, and Polaris, as the technology provider for the energy buyer, finds everything that we need, so why do we need to replace it with a massive, cumbersome system?

It seems that by the time interested parties can even read this document, there will be hundreds of MWh transacting on the TeMix platform, so we should build from there.

Thank you for your attention to my comments.

Dear OpenADR Members,

You might have already received this through the working groups. The OASIS Energy Interoperation TC has been working on the transactive services for a while now and is ready for the first public review. Please see the message below. Feedback should be provided directly to the TC.

______

OASIS members and other interested parties,

OASIS and the OASIS Energy Interoperation TC are pleased to announce that Energy Interoperation Common Transactive Services (CTS) v1.0 is now available for public review and comment. This is its first public review.

Common Transactive Services (CTS) permits energy consumers and producers to interact through energy markets by simplifying actor interaction with any market. CTS is a streamlined and simplified profile of the OASIS Energy Interoperation (EI) specification, which describes an information and communication model to coordinate the exchange of energy between any two Parties that consume or supply energy, such as energy suppliers and customers, markets and service providers.

The documents and related files are available here:

How to Provide Feedback

OASIS and the Energy Interoperation TC value your feedback. We solicit input from developers, users and others, whether OASIS members or not, for the sake of improving the interoperability and quality of our technical work.

The public review starts 29 October 2021 at 00:00 UTC and ends 01 December 2021 at 23:59 UTC.

The TC requests that comments should cite the line numbers from the PDF formatted version for clarity.

Comments may be submitted to the TC by any person through the use of the OASIS TC Comment Facility which can be used by following the instructions on the TC's "Send A Comment" page (https://www.oasis-open.org/committees/comments/index.php?wg_abbrev=energyinterop).

Comments submitted by TC non-members for this work and for other work of this TC are publicly archived and can be viewed at:

All comments submitted to OASIS are subject to the OASIS Feedback License, which ensures that the feedback you provide carries the same obligations at least as the obligations of the TC members. In connection with this public review, we call your attention to the OASIS IPR Policy [1] applicable especially [2] to the work of this technical committee. All members of the TC should be familiar with this document, which may create obligations regarding the disclosure and availability of a member's patent, copyright, trademark and license rights that read on an approved OASIS specification.

OASIS invites any persons who know of any such claims to disclose these if they may be essential to the implementation of the above specification, so that notice of them may be posted to the notice page for this TC's work.
