“…The Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) that regulates most of the electrical grid in the U.S. issued Order 2222 in September 2020 to mandate the inclusion of distributed energy resource (DER) aggregations of 100kW or more in wholesale energy markets (Cano, 2020). Various strategies for DER wholesale energy market integration have been proposed by the scientific community to improve cost and interoperability (Lezama et al, 2021), transparency and security (Khoshjahan et al, 2021), and market pricing and settlement (Wang et al, 2015), but residual challenges in reliability, telemetry and governance have delayed FERC Order 2222 compliance for several independent system operators (Trivedi et al, 2023).…”

The resource distribution strategies of trees and plants in the forest are applied here as inspiration for the development of a blueprint for transactive, hybrid solar and storage microgrids. We used the Biomimicry Institute’s Biomimicry Spiral and their toolbox as a design methodology to inform the structural and functional characteristics of this peer-to-peer microgrid energy market and propose its utility in addressing some of the challenges associated with grid integration of distributed energy resources (DERs). We reviewed literature from the ecological domain on mycorrhizal networks and biological market theory to extract key insights into the possible structure and function of a transactive energy market modeled after the mutualism between trees and mycorrhizae. Our process revealed insights into how overlapping, virtual energy markets might grow, contract, adapt, and evolve through a dynamic network-based protocol to compete and survive in rapidly changing environments. We conclude with a discussion of the promise and limitations involved in translating the derived conceptual blueprints into a cyber-physical system and its potential for deployment in the real world as a novel energy market infrastructure.
