Abstract: With the deepening of power system reform and the increase of distributed energy penetration rate, the effective allocation of distributed energy on the power generation side and the power sales side faces opportunities and challenges. The traditional centralized power transaction mode has such disadvantages as high maintenance cost, low efficiency and untimely settlement of funds, which cannot adapt to the high-frequency and small-scale distributed energy trading scenarios. The paper firstly reviews the development history of blockchain technology, and deeply explores the theory of blockchain technology. At the same time, based on an analysis of the distributed energy development, the paper summarizes some requirements for building a distributed energy trading market. Then, the distributed power trading mechanism and model are constructed with consideration of security constraints. Finally, a blockchain-based distributed power trading method is proposed to ensure the transparency and information symmetry of transactions, and the intelligent contracts for distributed power multilateral transactions are designed. As a case study of the Ethereum blockchain shows, the blockchain-based distributed power trading method proposed in this paper can realize the over-limit correction of power flow and the multilateral trading of power, as well as the digital management of electric energy.
