| Description | Lower renewable energy generator prices are leading people to install solar panels to reduce their electricity bills or, in some cases, even sell the surplus generated energy to the grid and earn credits from the grid operator. Generally, they are limited to trading the energy they generate with the grid company, which has a dominant role in price determination. Decentralized energy markets might increase both market competitiveness and incentive to further people’s adoption of renewable energy, reducing security vulnerabilities and improving resiliency. Blockchain is a widely studied technology to provide decentralization for energy markets in this context. Scalability, privacy, market design, and user security are some of the open research topics. This work analyzes the literature related to blockchain and energy markets, proposes a model, implements it, performs experiments, and analyzes network scalability and data generation. The model, implemented with Hyperledger Fabric, enables validated clean energy trading with anonymized buyers to prevent consumption pattern exposure. The maximum transaction throughput was achieved with 5000 sensors, 5000 buyers, and 5000 sellers. The data generation rate by network and the baseline deployment costs were also analyzed to judge the network viability. Furthermore, this work provides empirical results on a topic that the literature lacks. |
