Presentation 1: Literature review about privacy regulations for smart metering data
Speaker: Shiliang Zhang from IFI, UiO.
Abstract: This work reviewed aspects researchers need to care about when analyzing privacy issues in transactive energy from a regulation’s view. We collect papers that contribute to the understanding of legislative smart meter privacy, and show the relevance between the reviewed papers and the PriTEM scope. We aim to gather materials that help to recover the whole story of how privacy legislation evolves in the energy sector and what are the triggers that stimulate this evolution, which can provide insights and reflections about smart grid privacy regulations.
Presentation 2: Blockchain and smart contracts for transactive energy systems
Speaker: Daniel Gerbi from IFI, UiO.
Abstract: Conventional power systems are struggling with several issues, including power monopolies, high penetration of distributed energy resources, and limited capacity to adapt to everchanging energy demands. As a result, the energy sector is shifting to decentralized energy systems, which aim to place energy production facilities closer to the site of energy consumption in order to improve grid stability, minimize greenhouse gas emissions, and increase the affordability of energy costs. By strengthening the security and transparency of energy transactions, allowing peer-to-peer energy trading, and enhancing grid dependability through real-time monitoring and control, blockchain and smart contracts can play a significant role in this transformation. However, it is important to point out that challenges related to privacy, scalability, standardization and interoperability need to be addressed for the successful adoption of blockchain and smart contracts in decentralized energy systems.
Presentation 3: Peer-to-peer energy trading considering users' behaviours: a brief literature review
Speaker: Meysam Aboutalebi from ITS, UiO.
Abstract: Previous attempts in academia and industry have primarily looked into P2P energy trading from market design and technical perspectives. However, a limited number of studies focused on understanding, characterizing, and integrating the socio-psychological, regulatory, and legislative aspects into the technical aspects of local marketplaces. This presentation will briefly overview the selected existing studies to summarize and advance the cross-disciplinary knowledge through social and personal impacts of prosumers' decision-making and market legislation in the P2P energy trading frameworks.
Presentation 4: Digital trust - What we know about it and what can be done? A literature review
Speaker: Jonathan Muringani from ITS, UiO.
Abstract: Building and enhancing digital trust matters for acceptance and adoption of technologies including digital and energy. This presentation gives a conceptual understanding of digital trust based on a traditional literature review of four papers, and its implications for the PriTEM.
