Demand response (DR) can offer a wide range of advantages for electrical systems by facilitating the interaction and balance between supply and demand. However, DR always requires a central agent, giving rise to issues of security and trust. Besides this, differences in user response cost characteristics are not taken into consideration during incentive pricing, which would affect the equal participation of users in DR and increase the costs borne by the electricity retail company. In this paper, a blockchain-enabled DR scheme with an individualized incentive pricing mode is proposed. First, a blockchain-enabled DR framework is proposed to promote the secure implementation of DR. Next, a dual-incentive mechanism is designed to successfully implement the blockchain to DR, which consists of a profit-based and a contribution-based model. An individualized incentive pricing mode is adopted in the profit-based model to decrease the imbalance in response frequency of users and reduce the costs borne by the electricity retail company. Then, the Stackelberg game model is constructed and Differential Evolution (DE) is used to produce equilibrium optimal individualized incentive prices. Finally, case studies are conducted. The results demonstrate that the proposed scheme can reduce the cost borne by the electricity retail company and decrease the imbalance among users in response frequency.
