Decreasing transactional EV charging costs and enhancing grid efficiency through a blockchain-based EV charging and transactive energy platform

该拟议项目旨在通过展示一个 ** 区块链驱动的电动汽车充电管理平台来解决电动汽车（EV）采用的障碍，该平台将显著降低交易EV** 充电的成本，并大幅提高电网效率。这将通过与交易 ** 能源（TE）网络的集成来实现，该网络利用区块链 ** 技术将电动汽车作为分布式能源（DER）资产。TE是一种电网管理方法，通过使用特定位置和时间的价格信号，确保包含DER** 资产的电网正常运行，其中包括电动汽车供电设备（EVSE），太阳能光伏（PV）系统和电池储能系统（BESS）。由 **TE市场产生的价格信号是最终用户、公用事业公司和监管机构之间互动的结果，可以被设计为 ** 改变消费行为以提高电网效率。区块链是一种开放的分布式账本，可以有效地记录双方之间的交易，并以可验证和永久的方式进行。可验证性和持久性是降低交易成本的关键，因为中间人在提供信任方面的作用被消除了。因此，它作为为EV充电和TE网络提供动力的一种有前途的技术受到了极大的关注。我们提出的项目旨在利用区块链和V2G技术将EVSE集成到TE网络中，并 ** 促进创新的EV技术的商业化。

The proposed project aims to address the barriers to electric vehicle (EV) adoption by demonstrating a**blockchain-powered EV charging management platform that will significantly reduce the cost of transactional EV**charging and materially enhance grid efficiency. This will be accomplished through integration with transactive**energy (TE) networks that leverage EVs as distributed energy resource (DER) assets using blockchain**technologies.**TE is a grid management approach that ensures the proper functioning of power networks that contain DER**assets including electric vehicle supply equipment (EVSE), solar photovoltaic (PV) systems, and battery energy**storage systems (BESS), through use of location and time specific price signals. The price signals generated by a**TE marketplace are the result of interactions between end-users, utilities, and regulators, and can be designed to**alter consumption behaviour to enhance grid efficiency. Blockchain is an open, distributed ledger that can record**transactions between two parties efficiently and in a verifiable and permanent way. The verifiability and**permanence are key to reducing transactions costs as the middle-mans role in providing trust is eliminated. As**such, it has received significant attention as a promising technology in powering EV charging and TE networks.**Our proposed project aims to leverage blockchain and V2G technologies to integrate EVSEs into TE networks and**promote the commercialization of innovative EV-enabling technologies.
