Study on the Transaction Management Mode of Virtual Power Plants Based on Blockchain Technology

Abstract

Blockchain technology is a decentralized data storage method. The application of blockchain technology to virtual power plants will have an important impact on its operation mode. This paper first expounds the blockchain technology and analyzes the applicability of its combination with virtual power plants. On this basis, it designs the virtual power plant transaction and management framework based on blockchain technology, and establishes the power transaction mode of virtual power plants based on blockchain technology. Finally, on the Ethereum platform, the simulation test is carried out. The results show that the virtual power plant transaction mode based on blockchain technology, combined with the continuous double auction mechanism, can realize the peer-to-peer transaction of distributed resources and loads within the virtual power plant, promote the local elimination of distributed energy source, and reduce the cost of power transaction and energy loss.
