Za celovito koordiniranje aktivnih odjemalcev je potrebna zanesljiva medsebojna komunikacija za izmenjavo informacij. Trenutni trendi upravljanja aktivnih odjemalcev so usmerjeni predvsem v razvoj in vpeljavo sodobnih informacijsko-komunikacijskih tehnologij, ki omogočajo decentralizirano vodenje in varno medsebojno komunikacijo ter izmenjavo informacij med odjemalci. Ena izmed platform, ki ponuja enostavno postavitev varne decentralizirane aplikacije, je platforma Ethereum. Platforma temelji na tehnologiji veriženja blokov, ki omogoča varno decentralizirano shranjevanje in upravljanje podatkov. Cilj magistrskega dela je bil, da razvijemo poligon, s katerim lahko testiramo scenarije vodenja aktivnih odjemalcev z uporabo platforme Ethereum. Za ta namen smo najprej preučili tehnologijo veriženja blokov, ki predstavlja osnovo platforme Ethereum. Na podlagi vseh pridobljenih znanj smo razvili poligon z imenom EthStevec, ki testira koordinirano vodenje različnih profilov aktivnih odjemalcev. Medsebojna komunikacija med vsemi profili odjemalcev je v poligonu potekala v zasebnem omrežju Ethereum. Vse različne profile odjemalcev smo pri vseh opravljenih testih simulirali v obliki programske kode, ki se je izvajala v programu Python na napravah Raspberry Pi 3B+. Teste poligona smo izbrali na podlagi tipičnih scenarijev, ki se pojavljajo z uporabo aktivnih odjemalcev v elektroenergetskem sistemu. Poligon je bil testiran tudi v smeri zmogljivosti platforme Ethereum. Z vsemi opravljenimi testi smo potrdili smotrnost lokalne koordinacije aktivnih odjemalcev in tako ugotovili tudi omejitve izbrane tehnologije. Magistrsko delo v prvem delu opisuje glavne lastnosti same tehnologije veriženja blokov in platforme Ethereum. V drugem delu predstavimo glavne gradnike poligona EthStevec in rezultate opravljenih testov.

• Title: Coordination of prosumers with the Ethereum platform

Abstract

Comprehensive coordination of prosumers requires reliable peer-to-peer communication for the exchange of information. Current trends in the management of prosumers are focused primarily on the development of information communication technologies, which enable decentralized management and safe communication between users. One of the platforms that offer easy development of secure decentralized applications is the Ethereum platform. The platform is based on blockchain technology that enables secure decentralized storage and management of data. The goal of the master thesis was to develop a polygon, which enables testing different scenarios of prosumers coordination using the Ethereum platform. For this purpose, firstly, studied the blockchain technology that is the basis of the Ethereum platform. Based on all the acquired knowledge, we developed the polygon EthStevec that enables testing coordination of prosumers using various profiles. Peer-to-peer communication between all prosumers in the polygon was based on the private Ethereum network. Different prosumers’ profiles were simulated as a Python program code, which was run on Raspberry Pi 3B + devices. The polygon was tested with a set of typical scenarios that can be observed with prosumers in the power system. Furthermore, the polygon was also tested in the direction of Ethereum platform performance. With these results, we demonstrate the feasibility of local prosumers coordination and determined the limitations of the selected technology. In the first part, the master thesis describes the main features of blockchain technology and the Ethereum platform. Secondly, we present the main building blocks of the polygon EthStevec and the results of the performed tests.
