Scientific Abstract

The goal of the project is to develop an energy IT system in a decentralized and locally autonomous manner, which is able to integrate a scalable number of actors. By means of decentralization of system responsibility a stable energy system shall be empowered based on renewable energies and storages. 

The solution approach is based on the combination of blockchain technology and the cellular concept. The smart IT infrastructure can be used to stabilize the electricity system on all levels e.g. by variable prices. Furthermore, virtual inertia, which can replace the decreasing number of rotating masses in the system, can be generated and congestion management can be automated by fostering a local balance between demand and supply.
