TL;DR
This paper introduces a secure blockchain system for managing home energy use and enabling peer-to-peer energy trading in smart grids.
Contribution
A novel two-layer blockchain model with a secure server and smart contracts for efficient and transparent residential energy management.
Findings
The system reduces energy costs and peak-to-average ratio through optimized appliance scheduling.
P2P trading using GER tokens provides financial benefits and local energy independence.
The hybrid model is scalable, privacy-preserving, and robust for decentralized energy markets.
Abstract
The paper proposes a two layered blockchain-based residential demand side management (DSM) scheme that integrates a secure centralized server, (Energy Plus) EnPlus, and a private Ethereum blockchain to deliver both real-time operational efficiency and distributed transaction trust. The architecture also allows secure and transparent peer-to-peer energy trading using (Green Energy Reward) GER Tokens, which are controlled through Solidity-based smart contracts. Computationally demanding tasks of load forecasting, bid-offer matching and policy enforcement are carried out in the EnPlus server. The authorization of prosumers is provided through Public Key Infrastructure where AES-256 encryption is used when data from smart meter collected and uploaded to server and SHA-256 hashing with RSA is used to provide data confidentiality and integrity. The shiftable appliances are scheduled through…
