Peer to Peer Trading

Peer-to-peer (P2P) trading facilitates decentralized exchange of resources, particularly energy, among individuals or entities, aiming to improve efficiency and reduce reliance on centralized systems. Current research focuses on optimizing P2P trading mechanisms through various models, including multi-agent systems and blockchain-based smart contracts, often incorporating algorithms to manage fairness and incentivize participation. These studies analyze the economic benefits and efficiency gains of P2P trading, particularly in contexts like microgrids and energy communities, demonstrating potential for cost reduction and increased renewable energy integration. The findings contribute to a better understanding of decentralized resource management and inform the design of more efficient and equitable energy markets.
