Federated learning and blockchain assisted peer-to-peer energy platform

A non-transitory computer readable medium having instructions stored therein that, when executed by one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to perform a method including:

• deploying one or more smart contracts to a blockchain;
• receiving, from each of a plurality of energy consumer computers, an energy consumer registration request comprising a consumer geographic location indicator, wherein each of the plurality of energy consumer computers is operated by an energy consumer associated with the geographic location indicated by the consumer geographic location indicator;
• responsive to receiving an energy consumer registration request, registering, the energy consumer to the blockchain, wherein the energy consumer is given a microgrid identifier that identifies a microgrid that the energy consumer geographic location is proximate to;
• receiving, from each of a plurality of energy prosumer computers, an energy prosumer registration request comprising a prosumer geographic location indicator and an available energy amount, wherein each of the plurality of energy prosumer computers is operated by an energy prosumer associated with the geographic location indicated by the prosumer geographic location indicator;
• responsive to receiving an energy prosumer registration request, registering, the energy prosumer to the blockchain, wherein the energy prosumer is given a microgrid identifier that identifies a microgrid that the energy prosumer geographic location is proximate to;
• initiating an energy trading stage on the blockchain;
• receiving, from one or more of the plurality of energy prosumer computers, a prosumer trading participation request comprising the prosumer geographic location indicator and the available energy amount of the energy prosumer;
• receiving, from one or more of the plurality of consumer energy computers, a consumer trading participation request comprising the consumer geographic location indicator and a requested energy amount of the energy consumer;
• for each microgrid of the plurality of microgrids:
• computing an energy price for trading between the current microgrid and each of the other microgrids in the plurality of microgrids;
• facilitating the consumer trading participation requests received from energy consumers in the microgrid using the blockchain;
• computing next-stage energy statistics using a federated learning model distributed to one or more energy consumer computers or energy prosumer computers;
• initiating an energy sharing stage on the blockchain;
• and
• facilitating the transport of excess available energy from one energy prosumer in a first microgrid to either an energy consumer in the first microgrid or an energy storage unit of a second microgrid.

A method comprising:

• transmitting, by an energy consumer computer via a smart contract deployed on a blockchain, an energy consumer registration request comprising a geographic location indicator and a request type to the blockchain, wherein the blockchain is operated by a server computer;
• transmitting, by the energy consumer computer to the blockchain, a consumer participation request comprising a requested energy amount, wherein the blockchain thereafter facilitates completion of the consumer participation request;
• receiving, by the energy consumer computer from the blockchain, an energy transfer notification message;
• and
• storing, by the energy consumer computer, local data of the blockchain.
