Integrated energy systems decarbonization is vital to deal with the global warming problem. Integrated energy system, which is interconnected with various energy resources and highly aggregated with groups of residential, commercial, and/or industrial buildings, is becoming the primary target for low-carbon transition due to its large energy
Public consultation paper 1 Purpose of this document The Proposal to expand Heard Island and McDonald Islands Marine Reserve – Public consultation paper (''proclamation proposal'') has been prepared to support public consultation on the proposed design of an expanded Heard Island and McDonald Islands (HIMI) Marine Reserve.
McDonald Island is much smaller (2.5 km 2 ), about 100 000 years old and totally ice-free, and is predominantly composed of phonolitic rocks. 9, 10 During the campaign, signs of volcanic activity
The search results are shown in Fig. 1 where the blue bar and orange line represent the number of TE publications and the corresponding proportion in all publications on power systems or smart grid, respectively. The total publication on power systems or smart grid is given in Table 1.As can be seen, the total publication in 2020 dropped sharply probably

Heard Island is 43 km long and 21 km wide. McDonald Islands are a group of uninhabited rocky islets, 40 km west of Heard Island (Encyclopaedia Britannica 2006).Heard Island has approximately 362.5 km 2 of area and the McDonald Island, 2.6 km 2.The site includes the adjacent offshore rocks and shoals and all territorial waters to a distance of 12 nautical
Given this context, the concept of transactive energy (TE) has emerged as a central element to the vision of the future grid [6, 7].TE refers to economic and control mechanisms that allow the dynamic balance of supply and demand across the entire electrical infrastructure, using value as a key operational parameter [8].A successful transition to this
Located in the Southern Ocean, this Australian external territory comprises mainly two volcanic islands, Heard Island and the McDonald Islands, featuring stark volcanic landscapes, glaciers, and the highest mountain in Australian territory, Mawson Peak. Significance.

This was coupled to an Atlas Deso 10 Depth Sounder. Water depths up to 1400m were recorded.
With the increasing penetration of renewable energy, a new type of energy system, transactive energy systems (TES), has emerged. This study investigates the challenges of optimally operating a TES distribution system with demand response (DR) from the cyber-physical-social system (CPSS) perspective.
A transactive energy framework is composed of several integrated blocks such as an energy market, service providers, generation companies, transmission and distribution networks, prosumers, etc.
In a transactive energy system, every homeowner would have the opportunity to become self-sufficient, with their own sources of electricity. Renewables like solar and windmills would be pervasive, benefiting the environment and reducing carbon emissions. Smart devices like washing machines and electric cars would know to use electricity at night, when energy is most
The graphic above provides a basic illustration of how a transactive energy system might work. Under this scenario: Individual smart devices (lower right) within homes or buildings would electronically communicate energy needs and the preferred price to a transactive "node," which serves as a general interface between buyers and the electricity
Transactive energy systems are systems of economic and control mechanisms that allows the dynamic balance of supply and demand across the entire electrical infrastructure using value as a key operational parameter. 3. The broad definition allows us to recognize the
A transactive energy system could become messy if entities are using different protocols to design and develop their infrastructure. As of 2021, there are no global standards to facilitate transactive energy. However, many working groups are developing frameworks, including IEEE''s P825. To move transactive energy capabilities forward
Heard Island and McDonald Islands are located in the Southern Ocean, approximately 1,700 km from the Antarctic continent and 4,100 km south-west of Perth. As the only volcanically active subantarctic islands they ''open a window into the earth'', thus providing the opportunity to observe ongoing geomorphic processes and glacial dynamics.
We present the results of hydroacoustic flare observations around the underexplored volcanically active Heard Island and McDonald Islands on the Central Kerguelen Plateau. Flares were observed with a split-beam
TEF models for energy management and trading of integrated multi-energy systems are analysed. Finally, the potential challenges and future research directions for transactive energy are discussed.

Heard Island and McDonald Islands Marine Reserve Management Plan . 2014-2024. ISBN: 978-1876934-255. Representative System of Marine Protected Areas. In recognition of its outstanding natural universal values, the Territory was inscribed on the World Heritage List in December 1997.
The U.S. Department of Energy (DoE) defined transactive energy systems as "a system of economic and control mechanisms that allows the dynamic balance of supply and demand across the entire electrical infrastructure using value as a key operational parameter" [].Hence, transactive energy systems provide a market-based solution, implemented in
Recently, Transactive Energy Systems (TES) have gained great interest in the Power and Energy community. TES optimizes the operation of distributed energy resources (DERs) through market-based transactions between participants. The underlying transactive coordination and control (TC2) incorporates the economic concepts and principles into the
The Territory of Heard Island and McDonald Islands (HIMI) is an Australian external territory comprising a volcanic group of mostly barren Antarctic islands, about two-thirds of the way from Madagascar to Antarctica.The group''s overall size is 372 km 2 (144 sq mi) in area and it has 101.9 km (63 mi) of coastline. Discovered in the mid-19th century, the islands lie on

In fact, TE systems expand the current concepts of wholesale transactive power systems into retail markets with end-users equipped with intelligent Energy Management Systems (EMSs) to enable small electricity customers to have active participation in the electricity markets [12]. TE systems can also enable peer-to-peer (P2P) management in smart
By decentralizing the energy distribution system, transactive energy may offer greater responsiveness and reliability than the traditional grid, according to the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST). In addition to helping the grid withstand severe weather events, energy trading may also promote consumer energy consumption
1. Introduction. Changes and developments in the power system include the increasing use of distributed energy resources (DERs) in distribution networks [1].This growing penetration of DERs, along with changes in load behavior due to new technologies like electric vehicles, has led to management challenges in distribution networks that require coordinated
One of the world’s largest highly protected IUCN category 1A marine reserves the Heard Island and McDonald Islands Marine Reserve was established by Australia in the waters surrounding HIMI in 2002.
Distributed energy resources – or small-scale energy resources that are usually situated near sites of electricity use, such as rooftop solar – could play an important role in boosting the deployment of renewables on islands, increasing the security, resilience and affordability of power systems while accelerating decarbonisation.
The five discrete submarine banks rising less than 500 metres with gazetted names: Pike, Discovery, Aurora and Coral banks to the north and north-west of Heard Island; and Shell Bank to the east, which is separated from the plateau by a trough were confirmed by Brolsma (ibid.).
The benthic fauna at Heard Island is diverse, with over 500 distinct invertebrate taxa identified in bottom samples from the banks, shallow plateau and slopes down to 1000 metres (Hibberd, 2014). Highest diversity is observed on the shallow plateau northwest of HIMI and on Shell Bank.
High resolution bathymetry of the seafloor around Heard Island has been updated in 2011 (Beaman & O’Brien, 2011) and 2023 (Beaman, 2023) to incorporate single beam data from fishing vessels and multi-beam data from research voyages, including from the 2016 and 2020 voyages by the RV Investigator (Coffin et al., 2020).
Expanding the product coverage of the Fiji’s MEPSL programme could allow the buildings sector to save 17% of its electricity demand annually by 2030, according to analysis by the Copenhagen Centre on Energy Efficiency.
