Simulation of the distributed PV diffusion under blockchain sharing
To analyze the promoting mechanism of blockchain energy sharing on the market diffusion of distributed photovoltaic(PV),a multi-agent blockchain energy sharing simulation model based on complex network evolutionary game theory was proposed.The evolution path of heterogeneous users'strategy selec-tion under different sharing mechanism scenarios were simulated.The results verified that comparing to the subsidies,the blockchain energy sharing can obtain lower average cost at the cost of market diffusion speed.The voluntary sharing mechanism can achieve larger market scale and higher local energy utilization rates than others.And promoting sharing participation of sharing platform at the early stage can effectively accel-erate the diffusion of distributed PV.That is,for goods and platforms with two-side network effects such as the blockchain energy sharing and distributed PV,appealing customers through investing on marketing can substitute the subsidies on goods to stimulate the market diffusion.
