Enabling Eco Mode to Optimize Smart Grids Power Share

Inspiration

The rise of the "prosumer" concept needs a systematic approach to monitor energy consumption and enable an eco mode (like in mobile phones) to lower the load on the grids

What it does

A Blockchain based network of IoT device to monitor the prosumers activity and align the their needs to integrate with the smart grid power sharing via tokenizing the power packets as units to trade over the grid.

How we built it

With the specification of IoT nodes as part of the Blockchain network which is responsible for the insight for the prosumers, a sensor is connected to each energy sharing region (whether it's a building or a district) to activate the eco mode whenever requested or needed

Challenges we ran into

• Running IoT nodes on the Blockchain
• Integrating different hardware components
• Configuration of the Ethereum (Geth) on Raspberry Pi ## Accomplishments that we're proud of
• Being able to minimze the current through a contract transaction
• Embeding Web 3.0 to the network to decentralize the power sharing mechanism ## What we learned Merging two emerging technologies ## What's next for Enabling Eco Mode to Optimize Smart Grids Power Share Deploying the scaled-up system on PaaS service and actually apply it on a daily users to observe its change of impact
