Summary: Electric vehicles have the potential to improve environmental sustainability, but the current charging infrastructures cannot keep up with the increasing demand. Sharing private charge posts during idle time is a proactive solution that benefits both charge post owners and non-owner EV drivers. To create a trusted environment, a blockchain-enabled sharing charging system with redesigned procedures and a non-myopic charge post match strategy is proposed. Test results on Ethereum show that the redesigned system can provide high quality services with affordable computational resource consumption and improve the overall matching successful rate of charging requests.

Summary: This paper proposes a blockchain-based electric vehicle charging reservation scheme for optimum pricing, which ensures secure and reliable data transactions between electric vehicles and charging stations using a 5G communication channel. The scheme uses a double-auction mechanism to optimize the payoff for both electric vehicles and charging stations, and its performance is evaluated against traditional networks. Results show that the proposed scheme achieves secure and optimized payoff for electric vehicles and charging stations.

Summary: To promote the value circulation of energy resources and enhance energy efficiency, credible energy sharing between IoT devices has been developed. This paper proposes a credible energy transaction model based on blockchain to collect surplus energy resources and enable secure sharing between IoT devices. In addition, a smart contract-based incentive mechanism is proposed to attract long-term energy sharing participation and maximize the social welfare by dynamically allocating energy from multiple IoT devices to a single edge cloud server. Simulation results demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed mechanism in meeting energy demand and improving social welfare.

Summary: The demand for a flexible, dynamic, and decentralized energy market has grown rapidly in recent years. Automation of operations in Industry 4.0 and Smart Grids aims to bring consumers and producers closer, leading to solutions that harness the power of public blockchain in designing transparent and efficient markets. However, the exposure of personal information on the network poses a significant threat to privacy. In this paper, we propose a solution for energy trading using Ethereum blockchain and Smart Contracts, which ensures privacy by not disclosing the identities of network peers in advance.
