Definitions

  • an energy resource configured to deliver quanta of energy to one or more energy-consuming-devices, the energy resource comprising:
  • the energy resources 102 , 104 can also have an energy-available-value, which defines an amount of energy that is available for supply.
  • an energy-available-value may define a quantity of fuel that the fuel cell stack has access to.
  • the acceptance by an energy-consuming-device 106 , 108 of such an offer may be publicly recorded on the publicly-available distributed ledger so that it can be processed in order to verify any subsequent transactions involving the energy resource 102 , 104 before the subsequent transactions are recorded in the ledger.
  • Examples disclosed herein can enable energy producing/consuming devices to engage in energy sharing transactions through a transparent and decentralised platform. Similar to Bitcoins transactions being logged in a block chain (which is a public ledger), all energy transactions can be recorded in an energy block chain. If an energy source is a fuel cell stack, then the amount of energy (KWhs) can be limited by a lifespan of the stack, or an amount of fuel available, or an amount of energy generating capacity available. This can be analogous to limited Bitcoins in circulation. This limited availability of resource can be used to dictate the rules of such transactions, such as pricing and amount of energy available in a set period of time. Since the energy block chain will have a record of all energy transactions and the devices involved, it can be used for driving a whole ecosystem of peer to peer energy distribution.
  • a block chain which is a public ledger
