Reviewing global peer-to-peer distributed renewable energy trading projects

Leveraging blockchain for energy transition in urban contexts

“…Prosumers, who may have different preferences at different times, utilize different market models, which have relatively limited, and to some extent, clear affordances in value generation and capturing. As this field is still very much under development, only limited real-world trials have thus far been conducted (Gunarathna et al, 2022). These are complemented by studies based on surveys and interviews which have set out to explore expectations rather than experiences or practices with P2P, CSC, and TE models (Schwidtal et al, 2022).…”

“…Subsequently, we focus on P2P, CSC, and TE as emerging energy market models, which are anticipated to serve as significant catalysts for the transformation of the energy sector. As mentioned above, numerous pilots can be detected (see Gunarathna et al (2022) for a comprehensive list), examining the viability of the three local energy trading models in future real world settings. Skepticism can be detected such as about data privacy and scalability as well, generally, firms that incorporate blockchain technology within their business models for local electricity trading tend to disclose limited information regarding the actual utilization of this technology, potentially raising skepticism about the tangible benefits it may offer.…”

Valuing the value: An affordances perspective on new models in the electricity market

“…As this field is still very much under development, only limited realworld trials have thus far been conducted [14]. These are complemented by studies based on surveys and interviews which have set out to explore expectations rather than experiences or practices with P2P, CSC, and TE models [70].…”

“…Technical challenges of these models (e.g., impacts on the electricity grid, technical requirements), security and privacy aspects [9], data protection issues, legal requirements [10], business models [11], and energy justice issues [12] have been extensively studied in recent years [13]. Aligned with this momentum, new market models have been the center of attention in several recent publications in this journal (see [14][15][16][17]) and others. Taken as a whole, these works have generated important insights into understanding the technical, legal, and market design aspects of the new market models, mostly explored in pilot studies [18,19].…”

Peer-to-Peer Trade and the Sharing Economy at Distribution Level: A Review of the Literature

“…These range from virtual to physical interventions, tailored to specific operational contexts. Among these, game theory, double auction virtual layers, and constrained optimization stand out as notable approaches advocated by Javed et al Despite the obstacles, the integration of renewable energy into P2P energy trading remains a crucial and achievable goal [80]. Numerous strategies exist that can effectively and efficiently address these challenges.…”
