Motivated by numerous drivers, blockchain-based
peer-to-peer energy trade whitepapers surged in the past two
years. Assuming disruption through blockchain technology, they
envisioned a transformation of energy systems through technosocio-
economic solutions.
Few impartial and sober assessments of blockchain-based
energy projects exist, and many publications praise disruptive
potential without further examination. A more distant and
critical perspective, however, is imperative for a responsible use
of a novel, in particular disruptive, technology.
This review aims at surveying the energy system envisioned
by the projects through discussing the projects by their characteristics,
their perspective on the transactive energy lifecycle
and the energy ecosystem envisioned in the white papers. This
review is descriptive and comparative in nature, and attempts to
synthesize topics raised in the white papers through methods of
grounded theory, as well as assessing the disruptive potential of
blockchain technology in energy systems.
Through this and a critical and neutral perspective, it strives to
(soberly) contribute to a discussion on the digitization of elements
of the energy system, and how blockchain-based use cases can
contribute constructively to the problems at hand.
