Energy Internet Development Based on Blockchain Technology

As an important part of energy transformation and environmental protection, the research on the development of energy Internet has its theoretical foundation and realistic background: on the one hand, sharing economic theory and regional economic development theory is the theoretical basis of energy Internet research; on the other hand, the growth of energy demand is strong. However, the form of energy supply is severe and the capacity of transnational power transmission is insufficient. It is urgent to accelerate the research of energy Internet. The energy Internet is a collection of networks covering coal and clean energy systems, power systems, natural gas and oil pipeline networks, and energy transportation logistics networks. It includes systems such as the energy layer, equipment layer, information layer, and user layer. At present, there are a wide range of energy sources, a large number of grid-connected entities, diversified energy users, and a one-way body to a two-way body, which puts higher demands on energy production, transmission, deployment, and consumption. With decentralized, open and transparent, secure, and credible blockchain technology, technologies such as distributed, shared mechanisms, and smart contracts can reshape energy from production to consumption, not only effectively reducing energy costs, but also providing energy use. The rate can also effectively promote the development of smarter energy Internet.
