Empowering Prosumers in The Energy Sector: Integrating Ai And Blockchain For Enhanced Photovoltaic and Battery Systems

Abstract

In a world where energy is as precious as the finest diamonds, and the quest for sustainable living is akin to a high-stakes spy game, a new era of energy prosumers emerges from the shadows. This tale unfolds in the quiet corners of ordinary neighborhoods, where unsuspecting homeowners hold the key to a revolution in the energy sector. Our protagonists are private clients, each equipped differently in this energy escapade: some with no photovoltaics (PV) or stationary batteries, others with either PV or batteries, and a few with both, harnessing the sun’s power and the might of modern storage. Like a mastermind plotting in a secret lair, Artificial Intelligence (AI) enters the scene. It’s the unseen hero, working tirelessly to analyze, predict, and optimize. AI, with its intricate web of algorithms, becomes the brain behind the operation, determining the most efficient use of energy, managing storage, and turning every joule of electricity into a strategic asset. But what’s a thriller without a twist? Enter blockchain, the enigmatic and unbreakable technology, ensuring every energy transaction is secure, transparent, and immutable. In this world, blockchain isn’t just a ledger; it’s the trusty sidekick, the keeper of secrets, ensuring that every peer-to-peer energy exchange is a discreet affair, away from prying eyes. Our narrative takes a deeper dive in the ’Implementation’ chapter, a dossier of technical know-how and cunning strategies. Here, the AI and blockchain technologies are not just concepts but active agents in a grander scheme, integrated with PV systems and batteries. They’re not just tools; they’re characters in this play, each with a role, each with a purpose. As the plot thickens, we see the dance of electrons, the exchange of watts and volts, in a marketplace that’s as dynamic as the stock exchange. Homeowners, once mere spectators, are now key players in this game of energy and power. This paper isn’t just a collection of data and theories. It’s a narrative of change, a story of a future where every home is a powerhouse, every homeowner a prosumer. It’s a tale of technology and humanity converging to rewrite the script of energy consumption and production. So, dear reader, brace yourself for a journey into the heart of the energy sector, where AI and blockchain are not just the heroes but the harbingers of a new era. Welcome to the thrilling world of sustainable energy, where every decision, every watt, every battery, tells a story
