Peer-to-Peer EnergyTrade: A Distributed Private Energy Trading Platform
Blockchain is increasingly being used as a distributed, anonymous, trustless
framework for energy trading in smart grids. However, most of the existing
solutions suffer from reliance on Trusted Third Parties (TTP), lack of privacy,
and traffic and processing overheads. In our previous work, we have proposed a
Secure Private Blockchain-based framework (SPB) for energy trading to address
the aforementioned challenges. In this paper, we present a proof-on-concept
implementation of SPB on the Ethereum private network to demonstrates SPB's
applicability for energy trading. We benchmark SPB's performance against the
relevant state-of-the-art. The implementation results demonstrate that SPB
incurs lower overheads and monetary cost for end users to trade energy compared
to existing solutions
Theoretical and Computational Basis for CATNETS - Annual Report Year 2
In this work the self-organising potential of the CATNETS allocation mechanism is described to provide a more comprehensive view on the research done in this project. The formal description of either the centralised and decentralised approach is presented. Furthermore the agents' bidding model is described and a comprehensive overview on how the catallactic mechanism is incorporated into the middleware and simulator environments is given. --Decentralized Market Mechanisms,Centralized Market Mechanisms,Catallaxy,Market Engineering,Simulator Integration,Prototype Integration
