Abstract: |
As an important part of the national unified energy market, the electricity market plays a key role in the optimal allocation of electric resources. Blockchain technology with the characteristics of data immutability and decentralization can provide important information technology support for the construction of a sound, efficient, and reliable electricity market. This paper analyzes the application and research status of blockchain technology in the electricity market, proposes a blockchain-based trustworthy electricity trading system framework, and takes the design of a community electricity trading system as an example for illustration. At first, blockchain and the smart contract technology closely related to trading are described, the application and research statuses of blockchain in the electricity market are analyzed, including distributed trading and centralized trading, and the theoretical and technical requirements for building a trustworthy electricity market are summarized. Then, a blockchain-based trustworthy electricity trading system framework is proposed, where the trustworthiness of market participants' behavior is incentivized relying on the mechanism design, and the trustworthiness of trading data is guaranteed through blockchain technology. Finally, taking the design of a community electricity trading system as an example, the system structure, smart contracts and the trading mechanism are illustrated. |
