The increasing amount of distributed power generation from rooftop solar panels allows new
electricity markets to emerge in which prosumers and consumers can trade locally produced
energy. The use of blockchain technology has increasingly emerged in energy markets and
shows great potential to facilitate Peer-to-Peer energy trading. However, blockchain
technology is still in its infancy meaning it is not yet being used to its' full potential. In this
paper, blockchain technology for Peer-to-Peer energy trading and its implications are�…

The deregulation and decentralization of the energy market have resulted in a proliferation
of distributed generation that participates in energy trading as prosumers. In peer-to-peer
(P2P) trading of energy within the microgrid (MG), the peers can trade energy without the
need for an intermediary. Blockchain technology is devised to assure the security and
resilience of the system's P2P trading against adversarial attacks. The large number of
renewable prosumers who participate in trading raises the MG system's oscillation�…
