| description | The rapid advancement of smart grids, propelled by the integration of distributed energy resources (DERs) and renewable energy technologies, has exposed key challenges such as interoperability, standardization, and data security. These issues impede the efficient operation and scalability of smart grid applications, particularly in enabling decentralized, real-time energy trading and demand response management. Effective management of DERs and demand response systems relies heavily on seamless information exchange, data-driven decision-making, and robust digital communication frameworks to maintain system stability and operational efficiency. To address these challenges, this study presents the Blockchain Consortium-Based Demand Energy Trading System (BC-DETS), a blockchain-powered framework designed to enhance interoperability, security, and standardized energy trading mechanisms within smart grid ecosystems. Comprehensive simulations have validated the effectiveness of BC-DETS using Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) such as transaction latency, demand response participation rate, operational cost reductions, and overall grid efficiency under diverse scenarios. Findings reveal a 35 % boost in grid efficiency through optimized energy distribution and minimized energy losses, alongside a 15 % decrease in operational costs due to reduced transaction overhead and improved energy allocation. Moreover, demand response participation rates increased by 40 %, facilitated by secure and transparent blockchain-enabled real-time energy transactions. These numerical findings underscore blockchain’s transformative potential in enhancing the scalability, security, and inclusivity of smart grids, establishing a foundational platform for future advancements in blockchain standardization and sustainable energy management solutions. |
