Imagine a power ecosystem… Where you decide on source of your electricity The next door Mr Sharma sells you electricity You decide to sell electricity to your DSO for an hour and next hour DSO sells you. You charge your car in night and sell to DSO in morning to have your net monthly energy bill negative Your google calendar decides temperature of your house , working hours of appliances Your mobile location determines switch on time for your ac
Concept – P2P Energy Trading Peer to peer trading Financial Transaction Power Transfer Information Transfer
Project Objectives Provide a platform that overcomes multiple challenges in decarbonizing energy and democratizing Power sector in emerging “prosumer driven ecosystem” by – Freedom to decide the source/supplier of Power – Enhance Distribution RE generation – Empower end consumer to choose source of generation – Reduce transaction cost and thus Cost of Energy delivered – Reducing Total cost of ownership for EV owners and Distributed RE Generators – Provided True estimate of Transmission Charges as function of time of day and distance – Reducing energy consumption at end user level by real time monitoring and incentivizing load shift
Key Project Deliverables A block chain based P2P platform to facilitate “Prosumer & end user” participation in energy use, trade and deployment at fraction costs. The Project endeavours to develop an AI embedded platform with associated customised h/w(s) and integrating architecture and communication protocols with capability to sync with other intelligent energy systems (some of them to be developed by our industry partners) such as smart meters, V2G, Home energy management systems for a two way “Smart” energy communication to facilitate overall project objectives Learning and recommendations (technological, financial, Social and Regulatory) based on pilot implementation of Project
Strategic Action Plan Steering committee formed comprising of Power and IT industry veterans to ensure alignment of project outcomes with industry requirements Prof Amit Garg, PI, IIMA Amulya Charan, Ex MD, Tata Power Trading Mr Rajesh Dhuddhu, Blockchain evangelist, NASSCOM Prof Rekha Jain, IIMA Organize seminars / open houses to enable crosspollination of ideas and sharing of learnings from other industries Involve industry partners in developing sector specific modules such as DM, DG, V2G, S2G etc. (Renault Motors for V2G, P2P Charging using B/c) Engage startups for development and market implementation Leverage on International experience from USA and Norway

Strategic work plan WP1: Protocol and framework for P2P Energy Trading – Understanding and Summarizing on emerging energy ecosystem and best global practices in P2P trade including in depth understanding of application, challenges , opportunities and limitations of Block Chain in Energy sector – Creating necessary database for developing such platform including such as ToD Tariffs, FiT and Net metering, regulatory and trading parameters, cross subsidy (as input for Block chain s/w) – Identifying boundary conditions in current policy and regulatory framework facilitating current bulk trading and restricting P2P trading for consumer, DSO and TSO in India and internationally. – Leveraging and integrating above collated information to develop a framework, visualisation and business case for such P2P platform including protocols for trading , settlement, accounting, regulatory oversight, role of block chain, artificial intelligence, Digitisation and tokenisation models to be adapted. Outputs of WP1 : – Report on Global developments in P2P trading and associated framework for developing such system in India – Developing a Comprehensive Business case and detailed product visualization.
Strategic Work Plan… WP2: Product Architecture, Defining use cases, Developing Algorithms & IT System architecture – Identifying necessary technical requirement in line with the business case developed in WP1 including key hardware and software requirements, defining multiple use cases, and defining and capturing interactions between different proposed components – Define IT system architecture, algorithms for P2P trading, artificial Intelligence architecture and protocols, communication protocols, test routines, and data security aspects – Identifying and selecting suitable distributed ledger technology & defining tokenization model – Purchase of necessary hardware and software support eg cloud space , AI and M2M competency, smart meters, block chain competency etc. Outputs of WP2 – Software and hardware Architecture, Algorithms and protocols necessary for product development – Customization of relevant Block chain Technology including its architecture, Tokenization model architecture and their integration requirements
Strategic Work Plan… WP3: P2P Trading Platform, Software Integration and integration of modules, Product testing, Documentation – Development/ customization of necessary s/w and h/w and integrating them for P2P trading platform – Software and hardware Integration with other ancillary modules (V2G , HMS, P2P Charging Blockchain , BMS etc) and software testing & debugging – Development of Web and Mobile applications – Documentation and Manual preparation Outputs of WP3 – Web + Mobile applications for P2P trading platform – Integrated H/w and S/w platform – User and Troubleshooting Manuals including white paper
Strategic Work Plan… WP4: Proof of concept, Field testing and demonstration – Pilot site preparation & Infrastructure Setup – End User Training and User Acceptance Testing – Proof of concept testing across Industrial partner sites, DSO and interested stakeholders to confirm suitability, usefulness, robustness and Industry readiness of platform – Incorporating learning, suggestions from pilot into the final product to enhance robustness and features of product Outputs: – Ready to Implement Robustness Product – Learning and advocacy across financial, regulatory and social parameters – Policy and regulatory feedback to the government, policymakers and regulators based on project development learning, testing and implementation
Consortium Contribution and Tracking Role of BSES Yamuna Power Limited – In WP3 : Provide consumer data of different consumer mix, to check the functionality and logic protocols/ architecture of the h/w, s/w customized and developed. – In WP4: Provide consumer data for 100+ representative samples (having a rich mix of consumers only, consumer with rooftop, prosumer, commercial load points, Industrial load points ) to check the robustness of the Beta version developed. – In WP4 : Undertake a pilot demonstration in a small demarcated region and operate it as virtual Mini grid to demonstrate the final product usefulness and record the learning and recommendations. Role of Amplus Solar – In WP1: Advice the steering committee and working team on various business model and business case based on Amplus expertise in solar domain – IN WP3: Provide rooftop solar generation data from 10 installations spread across the test zones. – In WP4: Provide validation of product developed using the data points from their rooftop installations
Consortium Contribution and Tracking… Role of RNTBCI – WP 1: Providing inputs for Developing a business case in WP1 from the perspective of Integration of P2P EV charging , V2G mechanism using block chain and validating the business case based on in house experience and data available from V2G pilots being conducted globally by RNTBCI – WP 2 & 3: Integrate RNTBCI BMS with P2P energy trading platform and assist in conducting testing of operation and charging functionalities that would be required for V2G integration – WP 4: Support with demonstration of V2G integration at the test facilities alongside other types of loads and distributed generators in order to demonstrate a typical prosumer setting
