Abstract

Distributed power trading is becoming the future development trend of electric energy trading, and virtual power plant (VPP), as a kind of aggregated optimization scheme to enhance energy utilization efficiency, has received more and more attention for studying distributed trading among multiple VPPs. However, how to guarantee the economy, credibility, security, and efficiency of distributed transactions is still a key issue to be overcome. To this end, a multi-VPP power sharing trusted transaction strategy based on dual-chain blockchain is proposed. First, a dual-chain blockchain electric energy transaction architecture is proposed. Then, the VPP-independent operation cost model is constructed, based on which, the decision model of multi-VPP electric energy sharing transaction based on Nash negotiation theory is constructed. Again, an improved-Practical Byzantine Fault Tolerant (I-PBFT) consensus algorithm combining the schnorr protocol with the Diffie–Hellman key exchange algorithm and a smart contract for multi-VPP electricity trading are designed to realize trusted, secure, and efficient distributed transactions. Finally, the example results verify the effectiveness of the strategy proposed in this paper.
