Realizing Smart Energy Sharing: realSES© Platform Amir Safari

Abstract

The idea so-called Realizing Smart Energy Sharing (realSES) will contribute in development of a comprehensive management platform for energy sharing/trading in smart communities involving many connected prosumers. The designed and developed prototype is finally going to proof the concept of the state-of-the-art 5G-enabled renewable energy trading platform, integrated in microgrids, equipped with artificial intelligence and machine learning, as well as blockchain technologies to facilitate the prosumer ecosystem in the future distributed energy world. In this paper, after an overview on the realSES architecture, a simplified example of managing and optimizing energy production within a typical hybrid system, as an integral part of the realSES platform, is briefly outlined. More details and discussion can be provided in the extended version of this study.
