Distributed new energy system access based on blockchain Consensus Algorithm

Abstract

Abstract With the development of society, non-renewable energy such as oil and natural gas are gradually consumed and exhausted, and the energy crisis has become the biggest resistance to the development. Therefore, the development of New Energy (NE) has become an important issue for the Sustainable Development (SD) of modern society. Distributed NE system is the new direction of modern energy development. Therefore, higher requirements are put forward to improve the performance of distributed NE systems. The traditional NE system is relatively scattered and cannot be used intensively. There is no consensus among various NE systems, and the energy utilization is insufficient. It leads to a great waste of energy in the process of developing and using NE. The introduction of Blockchain Technology (BT) has contributed to solving many practical problems. BT can not only ensure the authenticity of data but also meet the requirements of high quality by taking advantage of its own characteristics of data tamperability and traceability mechanism. The Consensus Algorithm (hereinafter indicated by CA) in the blockchain ensures that the final results received by all participants are consistent and error-free through data synchronization, and distributed, consistency cooperation. The access of distributed NE solves the disadvantage that the traditional NE system cannot be used in a centralized way, to access NE more efficiently, conveniently, and quickly. In this paper, the distributed NE system was accessed based on the blockchain CA. By adopting BT and CA, a distributed NE system that was easy to access was established. The system could systematically deploy the existing developed NE and then make centralized use of it. This paper compares the efficiency, stability, and loss of access of the distributed NE system using the blockchain CA with that of the traditional distributed NE system. The results showed that the use of blockchain CA to access distributed NE could effectively utilize NE, and the efficiency of distributed NE access after using blockchain CA increased by about 28.8 %. At the same time, the experimental results showed that the access stability was high and the access loss was low. With the continuous development of NE, the blockchain CA would gradually become an important technical support in the energy field, thus promoting the overall development of the energy industry.
