Blockchain-Based Distributed Energy Trading in Energy Internet: An SDN Approach

An energy-efficient SDN based sleep scheduling algorithm for WSNs

Energy efficiency in Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) has always been a hot issue and has been studied for many years. Sleep Scheduling (SS) mechanism is an efficient method to manage energy of each node and is capable to prolong the lifetime of the entire network. In this paper a Software-defined Network (SDN) based Sleep Scheduling algorithm SDN-ECCKN is proposed to manage the energy of the ne...

An Intelligent Broker Agent for Energy Trading: An MDP Approach

This paper details the development and evaluation of AstonTAC, an energy broker that successfully participated in the 2012 Power Trading Agent Competition (Power TAC). AstonTAC buys electrical energy from the wholesale market and sells it in the retail market. The main focus of the paper is on the broker’s bidding strategy in the wholesale market. In particular, it employs Markov Decision Proce...

An SDN Based Approach to a Distributed LTE-EPC

Unlocking Energy Neutrality in Energy Harvesting Wireless Sensor Networks: An Approach Based on Distributed Compressed Sensing

This paper advocates the use of the emerging distributed compressed sensing (DCS) paradigm to deploy energy harvesting (EH) wireless sensor networks (WSN) with practical network lifetime and data gathering rates that are substantially higher than the state-of-the-art. The basis of our work is a centralized EH WSN architecture where the sensors convey data to a fusion center, using stylized mode...

Blockchain-Assisted Crowdsourced Energy Systems

Crowdsourcing relies on people’s contributions to meet productor system-level objectives. Crowdsourcing-based methods have been implemented in various cyber-physical systems and realtime markets. This paper explores a framework for Crowdsourced Energy Systems (CES), where small-scale energy generation or energy trading is crowdsourced from distributed energy resources, electric vehicles, and sh...
