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/人工智能的虚拟发电厂（VPP），可显著提高整个当地能源系统的效率，为多个利益相关者带来更广泛的利益，并创造更繁荣和更有弹性的社区。v-powerChain是对自2016年以来可再生能源装机容量和补贴后系统放缓的回应。需要一个更复杂和全面的解决方案，超越提供或储存电力/热量的单一技术，以促进在补贴后系统中向多个利益攸关方提供更清洁和更便宜的能源服务。v-powerChain是一个去中心化、隐私保护、更公平、更高效的VPP系统，与市场上现有的解决方案相比。在这个项目中，我们将有一个功能齐全的平台，将与我们目前的产品相结合，为我们目前的客户创造当地的能源市场。我们亦将为中小型分布式可再生能源开发创新业务及定价模式，以最大化其投资回报。

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.
