Blockchain-Enabled Energy Management System for Distributed Renewable Energy Microgrids: Enhancing Security and Transparency in Energy Transactions

Abstract

The rise of distributed renewable energy microgrids presents new opportunities for localized energy generation, but also poses challenges in energy management, security, and transparency. This paper proposes a Blockchain-Enabled Energy Management System (EMS) for distributed renewable energy microgrids to address these challenges. By leveraging blockchain technology, the system facilitates secure and transparent energy transactions between microgrids, enabling peer-to- peer (P2P) energy trading without reliance on a central authority. Blockchain’s decentralized ledger ensures data integrity, enhances system resilience, and prevents unauthorized access, while optimizing energy distribution across the network. This approach promotes a sustainable and efficient energy ecosystem, ensuring trust and reliability in decentralized energy markets.
