Abstract

Developing and implementing sustainable energy is a method to solve energy challenges and eliminate the environmental issues associated with them. It will become the leading source of energy within decades, replacing conventional fossil energy, as many forms of sustainable energy generation coincide nicely with the concept of smart grids. Thus, research of a feasible transaction mechanism for sustainable power generation is necessary. Combining block chain technology and sustainable energy in a smart grid can be a feasible way to manage and utilize sustainable power. In this article, the characteristics and infrastructure of the block chain and state-of-the-art smart grid framework are analyzed, with a sustainable distributed energy transaction mechanism based on block chains presented, designed to achieve the functions of trading, management, and security.
