Honorable Prime Minister view on Blockchain..

PM Modi while speaking at WCIT India 2018 stated, “Disruptive technologies such as Blockchain and the IoT, will have a profound impact in the way we live and work. They will require rapid adaptation in our workplaces.”

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
• f 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

• verall 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

• pportunities 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…

Synergy from India & MI Collaboration

Beneficiaries and their role in Project

The Project benefits wide range of participants from End consumer to DSO to traders to regulators with varying degree of impact on each stakeholder. A non comprehensive advantage to various beneficiaries are :

• DSO / distribution Companies: BSES has been roped in for testing the project in their

premises and understand the implication of such disruptive technology for their benefits such as delaying capital investments, Load shave, Reduced dependency on High real time prices, Demand reduction and Demand response initiatives etc.

• End Passive User: Through pilot at DSO premises, the consumer shall participate and

benefit by making an informed choice on source of energy, consumption of energy and leverage by making investment decision on renewable and storage

• Solar Developer and solar rooftop owner: through Amplus Solar client’s participation in

pilot, the rooftop owners shall understand the advantage of using tool as means to enhance their income and lower cost of ownership. Further they shall be encouraged to invest in storage to complement their rooftop generation, thereby contributing to National solar mission of 40 GW rooftop solar installations by 2022
