The Common

Abstract Renewable-energy resources require overwhelming adoption by the common masses for safeguarding the environment from pollution. In this context, the prosumer is an important emerging concept. A prosumer in simple terms is the one who consumes as well as produces electricity and sells it either to the grid or to a neighbour. In the present scenario, peer-to-peer (P2P) energy trading is gaining momentum as a new vista of research that is viewed as a possible way for prosumers to sell energy to neighbours. Enabling P2P energy trading is the only method of making renewable-energy sources popular among the common masses. For making P2P energy trading successful, blockchain technology is sparking considerable interest among researchers. Combined with smart contracts, a blockchain provides secure tamper-proof records of transactions that are recorded in distributed ledgers that are immutable. This paper explores, using a thorough review of recently published research work, how the existing power sector is reshaping in the direction of P2P energy trading with the application of blockchain technology. Various challenges that are being faced by researchers in the implementation of blockchain technology in the energy sector are discussed. Further, this paper presents different start-ups that have emerged in the energy-sector domain that are using blockchain technology. To give insight into the application of blockchain technology in the energy sector, a case of the application of blockchain technology in P2P trading in electrical-vehicle charging is discussed. At the end, some possible areas of research in the application of blockchain technology in the energy sector are discussed.

In this chapter, the author describes the main new challenges and opportunities of blockchain technology for digital economy in Russia. The study in Russia showed that the Russian research community has not addressed a majority of these challenges, and he notes that blockchain developer communities actively discuss some of these challenges and suggest myriad potential solutions. Some of them can be addressed by using private or consortium blockchain instead of a fully open network. In general, the technological challenges are limited at this point, in terms of both developer support (lack of adequate tooling) and end-user support (hard to use and understand). The recent advances on developer support include efforts by of the towards model-driven development of blockchain applications sliding mode in intellectual control and communication and help the technological challenges and created tools. The chapter shows how avatars may communicate with each other by utilizing a variety of communications methods for sustainable farming and smart agriculture.

Data Register

Blockchain is a block chain technology that makes it possible to send and store information in a distributed way, creating a decentralized data register. The article presents the applications of blockchain technology in the field of power engineering, among others for use in the area of settlements on the electricity market. The work shows the possibilities of using and using block chains to describe the purchase and sale, generation and management of electricity. The work describes aspects of technology that allow partial or complete decentralization of the process. The article also shows how such transactions could be carried out automatically and without supervision - giving certainty of pre-established rules, rules and assumptions.

Blockchain Technology revolutionize the market of digitization. Blockchain technology has also emerged as a solution in case of indirect taxes also. This technology can transform the tax regime and can contribute majorly to digital India. In GST a registered firm has to file 37 returns during a year, this technology will reduce this burden off the vendors as all the transactions are recorded in real time in block chain , which removes the need of filing any return. Transparency of system will remove all the loopholes from the system and tax evasion will also become impossible which will ultimately lead to reduction in frauds and a tampered proof system. Blockchain has brought a lot of excitement and this technology has shown its potential to transform business. But what this technology could do for the world of indirect tax? This paper will look at the challenges and opportunities that lies ahead for government in the world of indirect taxes.
