2.4.1 Peer To Peer Energy Trading
Peer-to-peer (P2P) energy trading is a decentralized approach that allows individuals and businesses to directly buy and sell renewable energy resources. This case focuses on implementing P2P energy trading using the DGT platform, enabling participants to engage in transparent, cost-effective, and sustainable energy transactions.
2.4.1.1 Benefits
Cost Savings: Participants can trade energy directly, eliminating intermediaries and reducing transaction fees.
Sustainability: P2P energy trading promotes the use of renewable energy sources, contributing to a greener and more sustainable future.
Empowerment: Individuals and businesses have control over their energy consumption and can actively participate in the energy market.
Transparency: Real-time monitoring and data analytics provide visibility into energy usage, promoting transparency in trading.
Flexibility: Participants have the flexibility to choose their energy sources and negotiate favorable terms with other traders.
2.4.1.2 Solution Components
Smart Grid Infrastructure: Integration with smart meters and grid infrastructure enables real-time monitoring and tracking of energy production and consumption.
Renewable Energy Sources: Connection with renewable energy generators, such as solar panels or wind turbines, ensures the availability of clean energy for trading.
Digital Wallets and Payment Gateways: Integration with digital wallets and payment gateways enables seamless and secure financial transactions during energy trading.
