  • Concept of blockchain-based micro-service control strategy for a domestic water heater [Elektronski vir]
    Corn, Marko ...
    This paper proposes a concept of a blockchainbased micro-service control strategy for a domestic water heater. The novelty of the proposed concept is in the employment of blockchain technology, which ... enables decentralized access to service providers, thereby improving the security of the system. The concept aims to increase security while preserving energy consumption and costs reductions benefits associated with water heating by utilizing advanced control strategies and algorithms. The proposed system consists of a smart device, a service provider, data storage, and a smart contract. The smart device collects and stores data on hot water consumption, which is used to generate accurate predictions of hot water draw profiles. The service provider provides advanced control strategies designed to enhance the performance of the smart device. The data storage is decentralized to ensure data privacy and security. Payments between providers and consumers of the services are executed by employing smart contract deployed on a blockchain network. Testing of the proposed concept was conducted in a hybrid simulation environment. The results of the tests showed that even in decentralized system an improvement in energy consumption efficiency and a reduction in operating costs due to the advance control algorithms is possible without a decrease in users’ comfort.
