Emergence of the Energy Internet (EI) demands restructuring of traditional electricity grids to integrate heterogeneous energy sources, distribution network management with grid intelligence and big data management. This paradigm shift is considered to be a breakthrough in the energy industry towards facilitating autonomous and decentralized grid operations while maximizing the utilization of Distributed Generation (DG). Blockchain has been identified as a disruptive technology enabler for the realization of EI to facilitate reliable, self-operated energy delivery. In this paper, we highlight six key directions towards utilizing blockchain capabilities to realize the envisaged EI. We elaborate the challenges in each direction and highlight the role of blockchain in addressing them. Furthermore, we summarize the future research directive in achieving fully autonomous and decentralized electricity distribution networks, which will be known as Energy Internet.

Distributed generation is understood as all those sources of electrical energy that are connected in the electricity distribution networks. These distribution networks have been planned with wide operating margins, which together with the characteristic that energy flows are unidirectional (from the substation to consumers) allow them to be operated passively. This means that they are not subject to constant monitoring of the network status variables (ie voltages, flows), so these networks are managed with little supervision since that is more economical. The objective of this research is to investigate the economic impact that is presented within the university for a better presetting in the low voltage lines for them, the causes and effects that can be committed when installing them have been investigated, in addition to making a bibliographic review of how in other countries and within our city Portoviejo is distributed in low voltage and its consequences or benefits.
