Abstract

Quartierstrom creates a local peer-to-peer marketplace for locally generated solar power. The marketplace is implemented on a permissioned blockchain governed by all prosumers. The utility participates in the market as the collector of grid usage tariffs and as a fallback-prosumer for any mismatch between market and physical flow of power. A dynamic grid usage tariff is implemented to align pure energy market incentives with grid stability interests. Privacy-by-design concepts are presented which guarantee that the user’s individual load profile is not leaked to any third party albeit using a public blockchain.
