“…It was concluded that introducing LEM provides an efficient mechanism to reduce costs. An enhanced security management system for LEM is also proposed in [78], where model-based system architecture was designed for an interoperable blockchain-based LEM for prosumers in a residential microgrid setting. It shows the confidentiality and integrity required for energy trading to sustain continued energy supply and sales, the ability to track energy sources during energy generation and energy dispatch so that renewable energies are separately identified from non-renewables, and access for customers to energy data transaction details so that the type of energy provisioned to their premises is known.…”

This article addresses the suitable approaches for empowering energy citizens and smart energy communities through the development of community-based microgrid (C-MG) solutions while taking into consideration the functional architectural layers and system integration topologies, interoperability issues, strategies for consumer-centric energy trading under the local electricity market (LEM) mechanism, and socio-economic aspects. Thus, this article presents state-of-the-art microgrid solutions for the smart energy community along with their motivation, advantages and challenges, comprehensibly contrasted between the recommended generic architecture and every other reported structure. The notion of LEM for peer-to-peer (P2P) energy exchange inside a transactive energy system based on a flexible consumer-centric and bottom-up perspective towards the participation in the wholesale electricity market (WEM) is also reviewed and critically explored. Furthermore, the article reviews the interoperability issues in relation to the development of C-MG including energy trading facilities. The article’s overall contribution is that it paves the path for advanced research and industrialisation in the field of smart energy communities through the analytical recommendations of the C-MG architecture and DER (distributed energy resource) integration structure, considering the future trend of local energy markets and socio-economic aspects.

“…Permissioned (also called private) blockchains were implemented and described, but lacked details about how the community was self-governed [17,47]. In [48], the authors recommended permissioned blockchains for local energy markets where participants seem to be limited to trading without participation in the governance. Another blockchain based local energy market required a central utility to register participants and assigns authority to prosumers with a genuine PV for block validation [49,50].…”

“…The purpose of this consensus mechanism is to secure a transaction history and at the same time to ensure the governance of the decentralized system over as many (anonymous) participants as possible. Due to the high energy demand of the proofof-work mechanism, this consensus mechanism is not suitable for applications targeting energy efficiency [48].…”

Distributed solar photovoltaic generation is less expensive than the retail price of electricity from the grid in most parts of Europe. Growing shares of variable generation place a focus on Renewable Energy Communities (REC) to increase the economic benefits of local energy systems. Civil society could play an influential and necessary role in the development of such communities, the expansion of renewable energy capacity and the provision of flexibility. However, current RECs models still confine tenants to their role as non-participating consumers. This article provides a concept to enable participative RECs within the German regulatory framework through collective self-consumption by including consumers for a fair allocation of renewable electricity using the blockchain technology.

“…They are progressively using energy management systems and thinking about onsite resources such as renewable energy and energy storage. Many people are taking part in current utility programs to meet their energy management objectives, and some see further potential in the more participatory electric utility and market programs [19].…”

Digitization in the mining industry and machine learning applications have improved the production by showing insights in different components. Energy consumption is one of the key components to improve the industry’s performance in a smart way that requires a very low investment. This study represents a new hardware, software, and data processing infrastructure for open-pit mines to overcome the energy 4.0 transition and digital transformation. The main goal of this infrastructure is adding an artificial intelligence layer to energy use in an experimental open-pit mine and giving insights on energy consumption and electrical grid quality. The achievement of these goals will ease the decision-making stage for maintenance and energy managers according to ISO 50001 standards. In order to minimize the energy consumption, which impact directly the profit and the efficiency of the industry, a design of a monitoring and peak load forecasting system was proposed and tested on the experimental open-pit mine of Benguerir. The main challenges of the application were the monitoring of typical loads machines per stage, feeding the supervisors by real time energy data on the same process SCADA view, parallel integrating hardware solutions to the same process control system, proposing a fast forest quantile regression algorithm to predict the energy demand response based on the data of different historical scenarios, finding correlations between the KPIs of energy consumption, mine production process and giving global insights on the electrical grid quality.
