A DECENTRALIZED ENERGY TRADING PLATFORM FOR DISTRIBUTION SYSTEM OPERATORS

Vu Nguyen Huynh Anh

Abstract: The transitioning electricity market is characterized by increased use of renewable energy sources in the power system. There is a growing need to accommodate decentralised energy transactions through distributed energy resources (DERs). This paper presents solutions to identified issues in the current energy market and offers a detailed description of the methodologies, technologies, and functioning of the decentralised energy trading platform. We demonstrate a distribution system operator (DSO)-to-consumer flexibility market platform deploying blockchain-based smart contracts for local grid congestion and voltage management. The paper additionally evaluates the DeEnTP platform against the Strategic Alignment Model (SAM) criteria and employs a Non-Functional Requirements (NFR) decomposition tree to assess goal satisfaction across strategic, tactical, and operational decision levels. The use case illustrates a disruptive approach to energy trading that takes advantage of blockchain’s inherent strengths in decentralisation, transparency, and security.
