Abstract

This article presents a perspective of the several modern alternative energy generation technologies. Moreover, authors facilitate the case study of the application of an emerging energy blockchain (EBC) technology and the Published Energy Sources (PES). A methodical analysis utilizes the EBC input parameters as follows: power generation such as multi-energy complementarity, energy storage, and the smart grid power that has a smart meter and/or control within the EBC system. On the other hand, the EBC technology has several variables as output that includes the following: (1) power consumption focusing on renewable energies; (2) technology enabling financial saving and earning method; (3) peer to peer energy transaction according to the EBC platform.
