Transactive energy is a control technique that uses market mechanisms to achieve desired control objectives. Several simulation studies and field demonstrations were carried out in recent years, but all focused on small scale systems and purpose-built simplified models which are not always capable of pointing out all the advantages and shortcomings of transac- tive energy methods. This work describes a co-simulation framework built on a hierarchical control architecture that allows for conducting studies of the impacts of a very large-scale deployment of transactive energy. The hierarchical transactive control architecture adopted in this work helps with alleviating computation and communication burden to facilitate a more effective large scale real-time market operation among device level resources and the system level operators. The co-simulation framework is evaluated an integrated power sys- tem model of unprecedented scale composed of the Western Electricity Coordination Council (WECC) transmission system with tens of thousands of distribution systems deployed with flexible device-level distributed energy resources (DERs) using off-the-shelf simulators.
