Two new scientific publictations

Two scientific publications on Quartierstrom project have been published in April 2020.

The article “User behavior in a real-world peer-to-peer electricity market” published in “Applied Energy”  shows the results of behavioral research in the context of neighbourhood electricity and thus provides empirical findings on the user behavior of households and their future role in decentralized energy scenarios.

The article “Implementing a blockchain-based local energy market: Insights on communication and scalability” published in “Computer communications” describes how the blockchain-based micronetwork was implemented in Walenstadt, what influence restrictions in hardware and communication infrastructure have on such a micronetwork and how this influences scalability.
