Decentralized Energy

Decentralized energy systems aim to replace centralized power grids with distributed generation and management, improving efficiency, resilience, and sustainability. Current research heavily focuses on integrating renewable energy sources like solar power and leveraging technologies such as blockchain, smart contracts, and deep reinforcement learning (particularly Deep Q-Networks) to optimize energy trading, demand response, and resource allocation within these systems. This research is significant because it addresses challenges in integrating renewable energy, improving grid stability, and empowering consumers through greater control over their energy usage, ultimately contributing to a more sustainable and efficient energy future.
