Análise de redes blockchain públicas para tokenização de excedentes de energia elétrica

Abstract

Mini and micro distributed generation units in Brazil have been growing due to a series of government incentives, increasing consumer participation in renewable energy generation and in the electricity compensation system. In the circular economy, the concept of circular use is defined, which implies the sharing and reuse of resources, as in a peer-to-peer model that promotes self-sustainability in the electricity market, allowing generators and consumers to exchange energy tokens. electrical with each other. This is possible with the use of technologies such as Blockchain, disseminated through cryptocurrencies, has gained space in other segments of the industry, providing opportunities for decentralization, transparency and immutability of data, allowing to validate transactions through encryption, eliminating the need for an agent. trusted to ensure transaction integrity. In addition, the use of smart contracts in public Blockchain networks allowed programmers to develop logical frameworks to meet various business models, paying only for the computational cost of executing code on the network. Thus, this work aimed to analyze the costs of using public Blockchain networks for the submission of a smart contract developed in partnership with a science and technology institution in the renewable energy market, and for the transfer of tokens backed by electricity in the networks, where the Polygon network was more attractive due to the low cost of running code on the network.
