Decentralized Multi-Community Energy Trading: A Blockchain-Enabled Framework

Research output: Chapter in Book/Report/Conference proceedingConference contributionpeer-review

Abstract

This paper presents a decentralized peer-to-peer (P2P) electricity trading framework integrating blockchain technology to enable secure and efficient energy transactions. The proposed model employs the Alternating Direction Method of Multipliers (ADMM) to optimize energy allocation while ensuring privacy through cryptographic techniques such as ZeroKnowledge Proofs (ZKP) and Homomorphic Encryption. Extensive simulations validate the framework’s effectiveness, showing a 15% reduction in transaction costs and an 85% local energy sourcing rate among prosumers, reducing dependence on centralized utilities. The study also introduces Q-GREEN, a functional prototype demonstrating real-time energy trading, transaction monitoring, and market management capabilities. The findings highlight the potential of decentralized energy trading in enhancing grid resilience and sustainability.
