Blockchain and Advanced Technologies for Decentralization and Automation of the Electrical Grid – The Model of Autonomous Decentralized Stations
Virtual: https://events.vtools.ieee.org/m/471414FR : Le secteur énergétique connaît une transformation profonde, impulsée par des réglementations climatiques strictes et une transition vers un modèle décarboné et plus efficace. L’essor des énergies renouvelables intermittentes pose toutefois des défis majeurs en matière d’équilibrage de la production et de la demande, ainsi que d’adaptation des infrastructures électriques. Le passage à un réseau plus décentralisé et numérisé exige une refonte des modèles énergétiques traditionnels, nécessitant une gouvernance collaborative et une plus grande implication des acteurs locaux. La technologie blockchain émerge alors comme une solution prometteuse, offrant transparence, sécurité et efficacité dans les transactions énergétiques. Son intégration dans la gestion de l’énergie permettrait d’optimiser les échanges d’électricité, de renforcer la participation des consommateurs et d’explorer des modèles innovants comme les transactions poste-à-poste ou la gestion décentralisée de la demande. Cette présentation propose un modèle de réseau intelligent inspiré de la blockchain, et basé sur le modèle des sous-stations autonomes décentralisées. Elle démontre que ce paradigme, qualifié d’« Énergie 4.0 », favorise une meilleure intégration des ressources énergétiques distribuées et ouvre la voie à un écosystème énergétique plus durable, autonome et axé sur le <a href="http://consommateur.EN:" target="_blank" title="consommateur.EN:">consommateur.EN: The energy sector is undergoing a profound transformation, driven by stringent climate regulations and a transition toward a decarbonized, more efficient model. However, the rise of intermittent renewable energy sources poses major challenges in balancing production and demand, as well as adapting electrical infrastructure. The shift toward a more decentralized and digitized grid requires overhauling traditional energy models, necessitating collaborative governance and greater involvement of local stakeholders. Blockchain technology is emerging as a promising solution, offering transparency, security, and efficiency in energy transactions. Its integration into energy management could optimize electricity exchanges, strengthen consumer participation, and explore innovative models such as peer-to-peer transactions or decentralized demand management. This presentation proposes a smart grid model inspired by blockchain, based on the concept of decentralized autonomous substations. It demonstrates that this paradigm, termed 'Energy 4.0,' enhances the integration of distributed energy resources and paves the way for a more sustainable, autonomous, and consumer-centric energy <a href="http://ecosystem.Co-sponsored" target="_blank" title="ecosystem.Co-sponsored">ecosystem.Co-sponsored by: Université du Québec à RimouskiAgenda: - Mot de bienvenue et présentation IEEE Québec et du Chapitre Ordinateurs (3 mins)- Présentation de Alain Aoun (2 mins)- Séminaire de Alain Aoun (35)- Période des questions (10 minutes)Virtual: https://events.vtools.ieee.org/m/471414
