The Role of Blockchain Technology Toward a Sustainable Energy Future Blockchain is an innovative and decentralized, advanced technology that maintains the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of all transactions and data. Blockchain is a distributed ledger that can store data records and transactions backed by cryptographic value through a peer-to-peer network. All transactions supported by Blockchain are efficient, secure, economical, and transparent. Moreover, Blockchain helps with the real-time automation of production systems with smart contract implementation. Therefore, it is expected that the system's efficiency will increase after the implementation of Blockchain, leading to reduced total costs. Considering the challenge of providing clean and cheap energy around the world, this technology must help economize the energy supply.
The biggest threat in the implementation of Blockchain is identity management and strong cyber security, which can be solved through the integration of Blockchain with cloud technologies to improve the cloud network's security and scalability. Moreover, Blockchain helps create trading energy systems where distributed agents can directly interact with each other in a flat and non-flat trading system. It provides a decentralized and distributed accounting mode to continue according to the current needs of the distributor in the energy market by dividing the transaction process into two stages: auction and conversation. Blockchain can ensure that energy is effectively used and supplied and that its allocation is efficient and transparent. This directly increases social welfare.
This Research Topic highlights Blockchain's role in the Energy industry and seeks to clarify how advances in Artificial Intelligence and Optimization methods can effectively go through energy consumption management, with emphasis on Blockchain's applications in complex decision-making.
Manuscript submissions are encouraged from a broad range of related topics, which may include but are not limited to the following activities:
• Supply chain management considering Blockchain technology
• Sustainable life cycle assessment using Blockchain technology
• Agent-based modelling or the application of Blockchain in the energy industry
• Operations research-based analytics for the application of Blockchain in the energy industry
• Multi-criteria decision-making for the application of Blockchain in the energy industry
• Sustainable energy flow network design
• Statistical learning in sustainable energy systems using Blockchain
• Data science in sustainable manufacturing systems using Blockchain
• Internet-based intelligent and sustainable energy systems using Blockchain
• Game theory-based analysis for the application of Blockchain in the energy industry
• Machine learning in sustainable energy systems using Blockchain
• Cellular automata in sustainable energy systems Blockchain
