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

拟议的项目旨在通过展示**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性电动汽车**充电的成本，并大幅提高电网效率。这将通过与互动式**能源(TE)网络的集成来实现，这些网络利用区块链**技术将电动汽车用作分布式能源(DER)资产。**TE是一种电网管理方法，通过使用位置和时间特定的价格信号，确保包含DER**资产的电网正常运行，包括电动汽车供电设备(EVSE)、太阳能光伏(PV)系统和电池能量**存储系统(BESS)。TE市场产生的价格信号是终端用户、公用事业公司和监管机构之间相互作用的结果，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、分布式的账簿，可以高效、可验证和永久地记录**双方之间的交易。随着中间人在提供信任方面的角色被消除，可验证性和持久性是降低交易成本的关键。因此，作为为电动汽车充电和TE网络提供动力的一项有前途的技术，它受到了极大的关注。**我们提议的项目旨在利用区块链和V2G技术将EVSE整合到TE网络中，并**促进创新的电动汽车支持技术的商业化。

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.
