“…• Advanced support for DER integration and local energy management (metering and efficiency services). In addition to the aforementioned benefits, with the advancement in the energy sector digitization, DER management and integration processes have also improved with respect to reliability, availability, resilience, stability, security, and privacy [238]- [240]. The following paragraphs analyze the blockchain contribution in the enhancement of these features.…”

Power grids all over the world are transitioning towards a decentralized structure. Under such a transition, blockchain technology is emerging as a potential solution for technical, deployment and decentralization issues, given its security, integrity, decentralized nature and required infrastructure. Moreover, blockchain technology offers excellent features like non-repudiation and immutability which makes it a promising application for DER integration and management on reliability factors. In this paper, a comprehensive review of blockchain applications for DER management and integration is presented. First, a blockchain-based literature review of research activities in the DER integration area and related tasks including entrepreneurial efforts is carried out. Next, the different opportunities and challenges of DER integration and management in power grids, i.e., centralization, regulatory support, development costs are discussed. Finally, some key research challenges and opportunities of including blockchain technology to DER integration and management issues are presented.INDEX TERMS Blockchain, Distributed energy resources (DER), Distributed ledger technologies, Consensus algorithms.

“…In the trend of extensive decentralized access of green energy to the power grid and the gradual maturity of V2G, the demand for regional P2P trading is increasing (Yang et al, 2021b). The construction of a decentralized P2P trusted and secure regional trading platform is the developmental direction of power-trading blockchain (Yagmur et al, 2021). At the same time, with the development of the Internet of Things and sensing communication control technology, power system regulatory control of granularity gradually refined in the time and space dimensions (Wei et al, 2021).…”

With the proposal of carbon peak and neutrality goals in China, new technologies such as multi-energy synergy technology, cyber physical systems, and multi-market integration technology have ushered in unprecedented opportunities and challenges. Energy Internet (EI) technology considering interactive energy has come into being. Interactive energy is a mechanism to achieve system balance by integrating economic means and power grid control technology, using “value” as a coordination method. It can promote the development and utilization of distributed renewable energy in the energy internet technology, so as to promote the clean, low-carbon, and intelligent development of energy. Blockchain can provide effective support for the development and application of EI because of its decentralized, open, autonomous, and information-immutable characteristics. In order to better cope with the challenges existing in EI, this article designs an analysis framework for EI from the blockchain perspective, which contains five dimensions, including engineering dimension, technical dimension, economic dimension, environmental dimension, and social dimension. It further refines the five dimensions aiming to comprehensively summarize the research status of the EI, which can promote its application in the development of all industries in society.

“…The main barriers for adoption of blockchain-based frameworks are, besides public acceptance and legal conflicts [29], technical challenges such as scalability, data throughput, and the amount of transaction fees [19], [21]. The legal implications of smart contracts and their compatibility with traditional legal contracts are often ambiguous and require additional clarification and research.…”

A flexible and adaptable market procurement of reactive power has the potential to improve network efficiency, voltage stability, and operational costs. In Europe, such a dynamic procurement must be in accordance with the European Union directive EU 2019/944 on non-frequency ancillary services. In accordance with this situation, a blockchain-based framework of market procurement of reactive power is proposed and presented in this paper. The devised framework is in alignment with the European Union's directive to establish a non-discriminatory, transparent, and free market. Moreover, the blockchain-based framework is applicable at all network levels and allows for the variety of different distributed resources to participate. A two-layer blockchain topology is proposed to overcome scalability and transaction time issues. The first main-layer blockchain acts as the agent for trust and guarantees the immutability of data as well as the remuneration of participating market players. The second-layer blockchain facilitates direct access to tendering processes or auctions, fast transactions, and low transaction fees for involved stakeholders. Additionally, a decentralized oracle network is proposed to integrate external data into the second-layer blockchain. Data required for verifying the physical reactive power transactions are delivered by smart meters. The entire procurement process is automated by deploying smart contracts at the various posed to become very promising in closing the predicted gap of 15 to 35 GVAr reactive power supply in Germany before 2034 [1]. The provision of reactive power in Germany is forecast to exceed costs of 1.1 billion EUR per annum (p.a) in 2035 and could increase to 2 billion EUR p.a in 2050 [1]. Reasons for this development include the phasing out of thermal power plants and a rapid grid transformation to integrate the increasing number of distributed
