Blockchain based green energy microgrid platform

Abstract

This project presents a Smart Solar Energy Sharing System using controller and sensors for real-time monitoring and control of energy generation and consumption across multiple houses. Each house is equipped with a solar panel, and the generated energy is stored in a common battery system. The system measures voltage, current, and power using measurement sensors and calculates energy consumption and generation in real time. A switch-based control mechanism enables controlled energy distribution to each house.
In addition, the system integrates blockchain technology to enable secure and transparent energy trading between houses. A smart contract is implemented to create and manage energy tokens, where surplus energy generated by a house is converted into tokens that can be shared or traded with other houses experiencing energy deficits. This decentralized approach ensures trust, traceability, and tamper-proof transactions without the need for a centralized authority. The system implements a software-based energy sharing mechanism combined with blockchain-based token exchange, allowing efficient and fair distribution of energy resources. Experimental results demonstrate reliable energy monitoring, efficient load control, and scalable multi-house integration at low cost, making the system suitable for smart microgrid applications, peer-to-peer energy trading, and sustainable energy management systems.
