Although blockchain technology was initially thought to be dedicated to digital currency applications, the study groups quickly realised its usability that it could be beneficial to various sectors of society, industry, and business, including the sector of electricity. Currently, the European energy sector is in the process of transformation, which is associated with the transition from conventional to renewable energy using the latest technological solutions, also based on blockchain technology. This paper reviews the academic literature and industry practices of the implementation of blockchain in the energy sector. The systematic review by considering two sources is attempting to integrate insights from different bodies of knowledge. The results show that the number of publications about blockchain technology in the energy sector has been skyrocketing, especially since 2017, indicating that combining blockchain technology with the energy sector is a new cross-cutting research area with increasing attention.

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.

Strategy Types

Environmental goals can be essential for the realization of modern organization strategies, especially in the case of renewable energy sector company’s development in Poland. The aim of this article is to discover different strategies formulated by Polish energy supply companies as a result of the green management. The tools to analyse this type of management and to indicate the common direction of undertaken activities are the SWOT analysis and the Hellwig’s taxonometric method. These common points can be described by some factors which are related to the creation of green jobs and the reduction of environmental impact. This analytical study explains and describes possible strategies types, which were implemented in companies of studied sector. Therefore, multicriteria analysis of strategy measurement indicators method was used in this article. Performed analysis can open future research area to examine greening of other sectors.

Integration of renewable energy and optimization of energy use are key enablers of sustainable energy transitions and mitigating climate change. Modern technologies such the Internet of Things (IoT) offer a wide number of applications in the energy sector, i.e, in energy supply, transmission and distribution, and demand. IoT can be employed for improving energy efficiency, increasing the share of renewable energy, and reducing environmental impacts of the energy use. This paper reviews the existing literature on the application of IoT in in energy systems, in general, and in the context of smart grids particularly. Furthermore, we discuss enabling technologies of IoT, including cloud computing and different platforms for data analysis. Furthermore, we review challenges of deploying IoT in the energy sector, including privacy and security, with some solutions to these challenges such as blockchain technology. This survey provides energy policy-makers, energy economists, and managers with an overview of the role of IoT in optimization of energy systems.

Blockchain Technology

Two of the important topics concerning scientists and governments are blockchain and climate change. After the paper of Satoshi Nakamoto, blockchains became a global phenomenon. After its usage for cryptocurrencies, blockchain is starting to be used for digital protocols and smart contracts. Blockchain technology is used in many sectors, such as banking, finance, car leasing, entertainment, energy, etc. Climate change leads to global warming, which means the long-term warming of the planet. Therefore, governments have made an effort to decrease global warming or keep it stable. One of the mitigation ways of global warming is to use renewable energy. Solar energy is one of the most used types of renewable energy sources, and also blockchain technology is widely used in this sector. In this chapter, the authors investigate the use of blockchain technology in the solar energy sector.

The Impact

There is an intense discussion on the impact of the quality of patents on innovation and economic development. Consequently, measuring the quality of patents becomes an essential issue to understand how it affects the innovation system (IS). This paper shows a systematic review of patent quality indicators and their contribution to the literature. Additional to the systematic review, a dynamic behaviour hypothesis is developed to comprise how patent value indicators can be used to create a set of strategies to improve the innovation of the renewable energy sector. Our results show a novel framework for analysing the effects of patent value on the IS that could be useful for renewable energy diffusion in Latin-America.
