Blockchain for Effective Renewable Energy Management in the Intelligent Transportation System

Abstract

In intelligent transportation systems (ITS), electric vehicles (EVs) play an essential role in reducing environmental pollution and minimizing high fuel costs. The EVs are three times efficient than conventional gasoline-powered vehicles, whereas it depends on the mix of source generation on the grid utilized for charging. However, in most cases, the EVs are resultant in emitting the more substantial greenhouse gas that extends fossil fuels’ lives. Therefore, the ITS contributing to developing the renewable energy management process is incorporated with electric vehicles to reduce greenhouse gas. The EVs are mostly designed to reduce the cost and improve efficiency during the charging infrastructure. Hence, renewable energies are saved exclusively and eliminating wasteful usage. In this work, a blockchain-based effective renewable energy management process should be created to achieve this goal. The blockchain process validates each EV before permitting them to charge their vehicle. The blockchain principle analyzes the energy demand of any EV and validates its demand through vehicle data. The validation process enables the same and original energy use vessel to be identified to remove threats associated activities efficiently. The validating process considering the vehicle information and energy utilization level to verify the EV. The block-based validation process monitoring each vehicle entered into the grid environment, and the ITS process minimizes the fuel wastage and enhances the system’s overall efficiency.
