Sivapragashhttps://shop.theiet.org:443/blockchain-technology-for-smart-grids<p xmlns="http://ns.editeur.org/onix/3.0/reference">Smart grids with distributed clean energy generation, storage and prosumers are the future of energy systems. They need two-way digital communication between multiple customers and suppliers of energy, to produce, buy and sell electricity to the grid at small scales. These arrangements need a system that maintains, checks, and registers information about transactions.</p> <p xmlns="http://ns.editeur.org/onix/3.0/reference">Blockchain technology is able to handle these requirements with smart contracts, peer-to-peer energy trading and immutable transactions. A blockchain is a digital ledger of transactions that can be accessed across the entire network of computer systems. Combined with sensors to track energy flows, blockchain can enable the smart grid.</p> <p xmlns="http://ns.editeur.org/onix/3.0/reference">After an introduction to blockchain, chapters cover integration with IoT, IoT- and blockchain-enabled smart grids, use of sensors, security and privacy, use of machine and deep learning, energy storage and transaction, as well as use of cryptocurrencies for transactions.</p> <p xmlns="http://ns.editeur.org/onix/3.0/reference">Written by an international team with the necessary multi-disciplinarity, this work for researchers in power systems as well as economists with related interests covers the use of blockchain technology for smart grids.</p>Tue, 03 May 2022 11:20:11 GMThttps://shop.theiet.org:443/blockchain-technology-for-smart-grids
