Title: Blockchains for Transactive Energy Systems: Opportunities, Challenges, and Approaches

Journal Article · · Computer

The emergence of blockchains and smart contracts has renewed interest in electrical cyberphysical systems, especially transactive energy systems. Here, to address the associated challenges, we present TRANSAX, a blockchain-based transactive energy system that provides an efficient, safe, and privacy-preserving market built on smart contracts.
