Platform for peer-to-peer energy trading with a smart contract framework
| Resumo: | In recent years, the energy sector has been transformed due to technological advances and a grow- ing focus on sustainability. This shift has led to increased interest in peer-to-peer (P2P) energy trading as a promising strategy. Renewable Energy Certificates (REC) or Guarantees of Origin (GO) play a vital role in ensuring the traceability of sustainable energy sources, providing au- dited records for low-impact producers. Blockchain technology has emerged as a key enabler for REC/GO markets, offering a decentralized approach that reduces reliance on intermediaries. cuts costs, and enhances transparency. The blockchain's distributed and immutable record ensures transparent transactions accessible to all authorized participants, addressing trust and efficiency concerns in conventional REC/GO processes. This master's project report proposes a solution to automate the process of creating and trading REC/30 certificates, based on blockchain and smart contracts, that connect to energy measurement systems and independent certification authorities. The issuance and trading of REC/GO certificates are recorded permanently and immutably on the blockchain. |
