Description

How to enable a decentralized approach to grid control and renewable trading that seamlessly addresses the effective distribution of power while at the same time, and presumably in much the same way, manages the distribution of new value streams to prosumers. By increasing the distribution of and creation of new value streams to consumers the levelized cost of electricity can be lowered. This will increase the overall value of distributed generation, encouraging the use and installation of additional sources of solar PV and other renewables. The approach using autonomous distributed edge intelligence software providing grid optimization, seamlessly integrated with a fractally distributed ledger based cryptocurrency system, this can be accomplished effectively. The method proposed uses an existing fractal (self-similar levels) grid architecture and control technology and layers a distributed ledger where smart energy contracts are aggregated at multiple grid layers of ever greater scope.
