Towards collective energy Community: Potential roles of microgrid
It is essential to have microgrid to manage the unpredictable nature of customer-owned energy resources and to have blockchain to extend the aggregation of energy units, data and
In this field, blockchain offers a decentralized communication tool for energy transactions that can provide transparency, security, and immutability. Therefore, this paper provides a comprehensive review of key factors for peer-to-peer energy trading and flexible energy demand management in blockchain-enabled microgrids.
To initiate the simulation, fundamental components of our microgrid based on blockchain technology are established. Energy Tokens, which are digital assets equivalent to energy transactions, were generated on a global scale and deposited into the buyer's account.
The proposed blockchain model for P2P energy trading offers a compelling alternative to conventional microgrid energy trading systems. By streamlining trade execution and eliminating intermediaries, it significantly reduces transaction times, with average processing times of around 10 s, highlighting its rapid processing capabilities.
Implemented through smart contracts, blockchains unlock transactive energy in microgrids, ensuring automated and coordinated transactions for P2P energy trading according to reliable grid working conditions [ 5, 6 ]. Application of DLTs within the energy sector and especially, blockchain, is a popular topic within the current literature.
