Academic Press Blockchain-Based Systems for the Modern Energy Grid

Blockchain-Based Systems for a Paradigm Shift in the Energy Grid explores the technologies and tools to utilize blockchain for energy grids and assists professionals and researchers to find alternative solutions for the future of the energy sector. The focus of this globally edited book is on the application of blockchain technology and the balance between supply and demand for energy and where it is achievable. Looking at the integration of blockchain and how it will make the network resistant to any failure in sub-components, this book has very clearly explores the areas of energy sector that need in-depth study of Blockchain for expanding energy markets. Meeting the demands of energy by local trading, verifying use of green energy certificates and providing a greater understanding of smart energy grids and Blockchain use cases. Exhaustively exploring the use of Blockchain for energy, this reference useful for all those in the energy industry looking to avoid disruption in the grid and sustain and control successful flow of electricity.
