Abstract

The recent spike in microgeneration of renewable energy is demanding a smart, reliable, secured and efficient technology to enable Peer to Peer (P2P) energy trading. Due to the inherent characteristics, blockchain has been a preferred technology for realizing P2P energy trading. However, blockchain implementations for P2P energy trading so far are suffering from critical challenges such as security, privacy and scalability. In this paper, we introduce a P2P energy trading platform that leverages the popular blockchain technology and addresses these concerns. In particular, a multilayered semi-permissioned blockchain based platform along with a Quality of Transaction (QoT) module is proposed as a trading platform that can be used for transaction of energy. A two stage blockchain architecture, backed by QoT, ensures proper verification and validation of the participants and transactions. We present two use cases that demonstrate two different attack scenarios to highlight the resiliency of the proposed framework. Finally, a qualitative analysis shows the effectiveness of the system with respect to security, privacy and scalability.

一个多层次的基于半许可区块链的点对点能源交易平台

最近可再生能源微发电的激增需要一种智能、可靠、安全和高效的技术来实现点对点(P2P)能源交易。由于其固有的特性，区块链已经成为实现P2P能源交易的首选技术。然而，到目前为止，P2P能源交易的区块链实现正面临着安全、隐私和可扩展性等关键挑战。在本文中，我们介绍了一个利用流行的区块链技术的P2P能源交易平台，并解决了这些问题。特别是，提出了一个基于多层半许可区块链的平台，以及一个交易质量(QoT)模块，作为一个可用于能源交易的交易平台。由QoT支持的两阶段区块链架构确保对参与者和交易进行适当的验证和验证。我们提供了两个用例来演示两种不同的攻击场景，以突出所建议框架的弹性。最后，定性分析表明了该系统在安全性、隐私性和可扩展性方面的有效性。
