Abstract

The source of end-user electricity demand is shifting from centrally located conventional power plants to a mix consisting of distributed renewable energy. Consequently, the grid infrastructure is undergoing a transformation to accommodate the intermittent injection of renewable energy, reduce losses and improve consumer engagement. Such a bidirectional exchange of energy and information, in a modern electricity grid, shows the appropriateness of data-driven and ICT based smart solutions for efficient resource utilization. One such intervention gaining world-wide traction with assorted objectives of cost minimization, utilization of locally generated renewable energy, peak reduction, etc. is peer-to-peer (P2P) energy trading. The research community and pilot-scale commercial deployments considerably focus on blockchain as an enabler of P2P energy trading. Therefore in this work, we analyze state-of-the-art from research publications and pilot/commercial deployments of P2P energy trading using blockchain. Further, the analysis is used with Technology Readiness Level (TRL) framework to classify the existing solutions, challenges and future directions in application of blockchain for P2P energy trading.

研究就绪，技术就绪，部署就绪:区块链在点对点能源交易中的作用

终端用户电力需求的来源正在从集中的传统发电厂转向由分布式可再生能源组成的混合能源。因此，电网基础设施正在经历转型，以适应可再生能源的间歇性注入，减少损失并提高消费者参与度。在现代电网中，这种能源和信息的双向交换显示了数据驱动和基于信息通信技术的智能解决方案对于有效利用资源的适用性。一个这样的干预措施获得了世界范围内的牵引力，其目标包括成本最小化、利用当地产生的可再生能源、减少峰值等，这就是点对点(P2P)能源交易。研究社区和试点规模的商业部署相当关注区块链作为P2P能源交易的推动者。因此，在这项工作中，我们分析了使用区块链的P2P能源交易的研究出版物和试点/商业部署的最新技术。此外，该分析与技术准备水平(TRL)框架一起使用，对区块链在P2P能源交易中的应用的现有解决方案、挑战和未来方向进行分类。
