Abstract

This paper deals with energy management in a microgrid through peer-to-peer (P2P) energy exchange method. The P2P process is executed on the basis of cellular automaton (CA) approach and implemented by smart contracts blockchain over a time horizon, enabling consensus to be recorded between consumers in a secure and fully automated transaction. The CA proposed model identifies the end-user state in a set of five possible states and supports the convergence of supply and demand decisions, thus ensuring the decentralization of energy distribution.
