In recent years, user-side energy storage has begun to develop. At the same time, independent energy storage stations are gradually being commercialized. The user side puts shared energy storage under coordinated operation, which becomes a new energy utilization scheme. To solve the many challenges that arise from this scenario, this paper proposes a community power coordinated dispatching model based on blockchain technology that considers shared energy storage and demand response. First of all, this paper analyzes the operating architecture of a community coordinated dispatching system under blockchain. Combined with the electricity consumption mode of communities using a shared energy storage station service, the interactive operation mechanism and system framework of block chain for coordinated dispatching are designed. Secondly, with the goal of minimizing the total cost of coordinated operation of the community alliance, an optimal dispatching model is established according to the relevant constraints, such as the community demand response, shared energy storage system operation and so on. Thirdly, the blockchain application scheme of community coordinated dispatching is designed, including the incentive mechanism based on the improved Shapley value allocation coordination cost, and the consensus algorithm based on the change rate of users’ electricity utilization utility function. Finally, the simulation results show that the proposed community coordinated dispatching strategy in this paper can effectively reduce the economic cost, reduce the pressure on the power grid, and promote the consumption of clean energy. The combination of the designed cost allocation and other methods with blockchain technology solves the trust problem and promotes the innovation of the power dispatching mode. This study can provide some references for the application of blockchain technology in user-side energy storage and shared energy storage.
