This package is an implementation of the P2P Energy Blueprint https://docs.iota.org/docs/blueprints/0.1/p2p-energy/overview
The Demonstration contains a React Web UI with an API to back it, which shows an overview of all the entities interacting.
See ./demo/README.md for more details.
A deployed version of the demonstration is available at the following urls:
The demonstration is limited with the number of entities it can create as it is all running inside the browser. In a real system each entity would most likely be a separate physical device and so no such limitation would apply.
For this demonstration the Source and Consumers generate values every 30s, so you will not see data immediately.
In a real world system the updates would most likely be spaced at even longer intervals.
Payment is only requested from Consumers on whole kWh, so they will have no outstanding balance until they have accumulated some
usage. Consumers only pay the grid when they reach multiples of 25i.
Once the Grid receives payments from the Consumers it takes 20% of the payment for its running costs and then distributes
the rest to the Producers weighted by how much they have contributed to the Grid.
Payment distribution from the Grid to the Producers is executed at 40i intervals.
All of the payments in this demonstration are made from and to a central wallet, and transactions only appear when they are confirmed. In a real world system each entity would have its own wallet.
All of the timing and payment strategies are easily replaceable in the source code provided.
The standalone folder contains examples of how to write grid, producer, consumer, source as standalone entities. It is easy to replace certain features within these components using pluggable services, such as storage and registration. This means the entities could be run on lower power embedded devices using remote services for some of their actions.
See ./standalone/README.md for more details.
An explanation of the interaction between these modules can be found here ./docs/workflow.md
Both the demonstration and the standalone packages share a large percentage of their code, the shared code can be found in the common library.
