A Blockchain-based Double-sided Auction Peer-to-peer Electricity Market Framework

The framework presented provides an open-source, blockchain-based, peer-to-peer energy market platform which can be used for testing different setups or for creating a microgrid peer-to-peer trading platform. The framework offers the following possibilities:•variations of the trading horizon, metering intervals; •simulations within a fraction of the real time; •variations of the number of participants; •multiple operated microgrids within one smart contract; •clearing mechanisms with discriminative prices or a market clearing price; •functionality to log data exchanged with the blockchain; production and consumption data of each participant, electricity exchanged within the microgrid and the main grid, token balances of all participants,•variation of the price ranges.     «
