Transactional Network Platform: Applications.

摘要

In FY13, Pacific Northwest National Laboratory (PNNL), with funding from the Department of Energys (DOEs) Building Technologies Office (BTO), designed, prototyped and tested a transactional network platform to support energy, operational and financial transactions between any networked entities (equipment, organizations, buildings, grid, etc.). Initially, in FY13, the concept demonstrated transactions between packaged rooftop air conditioning and heat pump units (RTUs) and the electric grid using applications or agents that reside on the platform, on the equipment, on a local building controller or in the Cloud. The transactional network project is a multi-lab effort with Oakridge National Laboratory (ORNL) and Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (LBNL) also contributing to the effort. PNNL coordinated the project and also was responsible for the development of the transactional network (TN) platform and three different applications associated with RTUs. This document describes two applications or agents in detail, and also summarizes the platform. The TN platform details are described in another companion document.
