Cybersecurity Plan Review Summary: For Connected Communities
As part of the Connected Communities (CC) Technical Assistance Program led by Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (LBNL), Pacific Northwest National Laboratory (PNNL) oversees the cybersecurity technical assistance for the CC cohort. PNNL’s role is to provide a combination of provision of resources and technical assistance to support the development of successful cybersecurity plans for the Connected Communities cohort. This report is an update for June 2023 on the current status of plans reviewed to date.

VOLTTRON: An Open-Source Software Platform of the Future
Buildings consume over 30% of the total primary energy consumed worldwide and contribute to a third of the world greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. In the US, buildings consume over 40% of total energy and contribute to almost 38% in GHG emissions. In addition, buildings in the US consume over 75% of electricity generated. The need to mitigate climate change is driving efforts to make the US generation cleaner, which has given new impetus for improving the operating efficiency of buildings at scale and increasing the hosting capacity of distributed renewable generation. Because these renewable generation technologies are variable in nature, they create significant short- and long-term imbalance between supply and demand.

Transactional network: Improving efficiency and enabling grid services for buildings
This paper describes the transactional network concept, the platform and two example agents/applications within VOLTTRON™ that improve operational efficiency and enable grid services for packaged air conditioners and heat pumps (RTUs). It also describes the results from testing the concept on some demonstration sites.
