“…The use of blockchain in the electricity sector should be a priority for policymakers. They should try to grasp the technology, encourage the creation of blockchain standards in the energy industry, and promote innovation by establishing regulatory sandboxes to allow demonstration projects [105]. Apart from the challenges mentioned above, research [79,82,89,99] identifies cybersecurity as another major challenge in the blockchain-based smart energy system.…”

Blockchain has peculiar characteristics among various digital technologies due to its decentralised and cryptographic properties. The combination of intelligent energy systems and blockchain can innovate new forms of transactive energy and navigate the digital journey to transform the future of renewable energy systems. This review studies various blockchain implementations in the smart energy domain and presents the findings on operational and transactional challenges in a blockchain-based smart renewable energy system. We also identify the differences between operations and transactions in smart energy systems. Furthermore, we identify the most pronounced cryptocurrencies in different studies. The findings highlighted various challenges concerning the implementation of blockchain-based smart energy systems. We identified how these challenges spawn across operational and transactional deliverables. Building on these findings, we discuss various challenges impacting the operational and transactional domains, which we believe have significant value for researchers, practitioners, policy makers, entrepreneurs, and start-ups. It will provide long-term benefits to humankind in fulfilling energy requirements, promoting sustainable energy use by developing countermeasures to combat identified challenges and leveraging the optimal use of blockchain technology.

The conventional electrical grid is undergoing substantial growth for reliable grid operation and for more efficient and sustainable energy use. The traditional grid is now metamorphosing into a smart grid (SG) that incorporates a diverse, heterogeneous blend of operating measures such as smart appliances, meters, and renewable energy resources. With better efficient results and dependability, the SG can be described as a modern electric power grid architecture. The SG is one of the greatest potential advances as a promising solution for the energy crisis. However, it is complex and its decentralization could be of tremendous benefit. Moreover, digitalization and integration of a large number of growing connections make it a target of cyber-attacks. In this sense, blockchain is a promising SG paradigm solution that offers several excellent features. There has been considerable effort put into using blockchains in the smart grid for its decentralization and enhanced cybersecurity; however, it has not been thoroughly studied in both application and architectural perspectives. An in-depth study was conducted on blockchain-enabled SG applications. Blockchain architectures for various applications, such as the synchrophasor applications, electric vehicles, energy management systems, etc., were proposed. The purpose of this article is to provide directions for future research efforts aimed at secure and decentralized SG applications using blockchain.

The design and development of renewable energy resources-based polygeneration microgrids have recently increased to supply multiple demands such as cool, heat, and power as well as mitigate pollutants improving efficiency. This paper aims to develop a combined cooling, heating, and power production network integrating photovoltaic panels (PVs), wind and gas turbines, a battery, an ice bank tank, a heater, an electrical chiller, a thermal energy storage medium. In this tri-generation facility, natural gas is utilized for district heating and fueling the gas turbine power generation cycle. The local power distribution system in combination with the output powers of PVs, wind and gas turbines is used to directly supply the electrical appliances, ice maker process, and chiller as well as charge the battery storage unit. Moreover, the air/water-cooled chiller procures the cooling flux for a benchmark microgrid. Its heating energy requirement is also provided by the gas-fired heater, the flue gases of the gas turbine, and the thermal storage medium. A mixed integer linear programming problem is coded using a generalized algebraic modeling system (GAMS) to minimize daily operating costs and emissions. Simulations are examined and analyzed over a 24-h study horizon on a sample summer day. Time-of-use energy rates and RTPs are considered two strategic demand response schemes to investigate the costeffectiveness capability of the gas-power nexus model. The proposed approach is coded using a GAMS to confirm its effectiveness and cost-environ benefits in four cases with and without heat/cool/electrical storage units considering time-of-use energy rates and real-time prices.
