Project Description
What does the project do and how does it work?
Power Ledger partnered with Clean Energy Blockchain Network and Northwestern University to deploy a pilot geared towards trading clean energy both on-campus and between campuses with no additional hardware, software or subscription fees, by using pre-existing meters. Northwestern University’s Master of Engineering Management Program students will provide ongoing monthly measurement and verification, leveraging their experienced engineering and science backgrounds to critically evaluate clean energy blockchain applications and use cases with prominent hosts throughout Chicagoland. Peer-to-peer energy trading will be followed by connection to external peers across multi-campus universities, museums, laboratories, etc.
Who is involved in the project and why?
This project was a collaborative effort between Clean Energy Blockchain Network who sourced and developed the project, Power Ledger who provided the technology foundations, and Northwestern University who provide technical assistance as part of their Master of Engineering Management (MEM) program
Where is the project located and what is the size of the region of impact?
The Project is located on the Northwestern University campus. The commercial, utility-grade deployment will initially run across four buildings on campus. Northwestern University’s Master of Engineering Management Program plans to kick off implementation in the coming months.
What is the problem statement that is being addressed with this project?
Blockchain provides technology for energy digitalization, energy monitoring, and sharing excess energy from solar rooftops among neighbors.
