Abstract

The rise of distributed renewable energy microgrids presents new opportunities for localized energy generation, but also poses challenges in energy management, security, and transparency. This paper proposes a Blockchain-Enabled Energy Management System (EMS) for distributed renewable energy microgrids to address these challenges. By leveraging blockchain technology, the system facilitates secure and transparent energy transactions between microgrids, enabling peer-to- peer (P2P) energy trading without reliance on a central authority. Blockchain’s decentralized ledger ensures data integrity, enhances system resilience, and prevents unauthorized access, while optimizing energy distribution across the network. This approach promotes a sustainable and efficient energy ecosystem, ensuring trust and reliability in decentralized energy markets.
