CRSM: An Effective Blockchain Consensus Resource Slicing Model for Real-Time Distributed Energy Trading

Distributed energy trading has become an essential part of the energy trading market and provides a useful supplement to traditional centralized energy trading, but there are still problems such as opaque trading information and asymmetric user data. The blockchain technology has the advantages of traceability, trade openness, and data transparency, which is naturally suitable for distributed energy transactions. The electricity information data transmission represented by distributed energy transaction has the characteristics of real-time, which has a high-efficiency requirement on the selected blockchain technology. The consensus algorithm is the core of blockchain technology and affects the efficiency of the blockchain system. The efficiency of the existing consensus algorithms for energy transaction-oriented blockchain still needs to be improved. In this paper, a consensus resource slicing model(CRSM) is designed to meet the requirements of consensus efficiency in energy trading scenarios. Specifically, CRSM divides consensus nodes into different consensus domains for concurrent consensus, and the storage domain only stores block information without consensus. By building an experimental platform, the efficiency of CRSM was verified, the communication pressure of the blockchain system was reduced, and the consensus speed was effectively improved.
