v-powerChain: a distributed and intelligent virtual power plant for micro- to medium-scale renewables

V-PowerChain是一个基于区块链/AI的虚拟发电厂(VPP)，旨在显著提高整个本地能源系统的效率，以便为多个利益相关者提供更广泛的好处，并创造更繁荣和更具弹性的社区。V-Power Chain是对2016年以来可再生能源装机容量放缓和后补贴制度的回应。需要一种更复杂、更全面的解决方案，超越提供或储存电力/热量的单一技术，以促进在员额补贴制度中向多个利益攸关方提供更清洁、更便宜的能源服务。与目前市场上的解决方案相比，V-PowerChain是一种去中心化、隐私保护、更公平和更高效的VPP系统。在这个项目中，我们将拥有一个功能齐全的平台，与我们现有的产品相结合，为我们现有的客户创造当地的能源市场。我们还将为中小规模的分布式可再生能源开发创新的业务和定价模式，以实现投资回报的最大化。

v-powerChain is a blockchain/AI-based virtual power plant (VPP) to significantly improve the efficiency of the whole local energy systems in order to deliver wider benefits to multiple stakeholders and create more prosperous and resilient communities. v-powerChain is a response to the slowdown in installed renewable capacity since 2016 and in the post subsidy system. A more complex and holistic solution is needed that goes beyond single technologies providing or storing power/heat to facilitate the delivery of cleaner and cheaper energy services to multiple stakeholders in a post subsidy system. v-powerChain is a decentralised, privacy preserved, fairer, and more efficient VPP system compare to the current solutions in the market. In this project, we will have a fully functional platform that will be coupled with our current offerings in creating local energy markets for our current customers. We will also develop innovative business and pricing models for the micro- to medium-scale distributed renewable energy resources in order to maximise their return on investment.
