Decision-making support based on smart contracts and transactive energy control in wind power accommodation

With the continuous growth of the installed capacity of wind power, the wind power accommodation becomes a key factor in power gird operation. According to the concept of the transactive energy systems which has been widely investigated in academic area, this paper proposes a framework of wind power utilization by using a series of trade contracts based on transactive energy control (TEC) method. Furthermore, the smart contract technology with TEC is jointly considered in this paper. The trade logics proposed by participants are formulated to a series of smart contracts through the assisted smart-trade decision-making method, and finally the control objective of wind power utilization is achieved. The IEEE 30-node system is used to verify the effectiveness of the proposed control method.
