Presentation of the IOTA smart-grid

1. SMART GRID
THIBAULT COLLARD & SÉBASTIEN PALLUEL, SCHOOL 42
HACKATHON PROJECT ON P2P ENERGY

2. Context
● Energy production and distribution is not optimised.
▶ Energy loss:
⁃ The distance between a region and power plants
induces energy loss,
⁃ Renewable energy is dependent on external factors,
● There is a global impulse leaning to the adoption of
green energy.

3. The Smart Grid
● The Smart-Grid: an “intelligent” electric grid that links
producers and consumers.
● Improving the energetic efficiency with battery-
storage.
▶ An hybrid actor:
⁃ Buy and sell depending on demand,
⁃ Preventing energy loss with consumption is
critical.

4. P2P energy
● Current economy of energy:
⁃ A flat rate based on the electric power received,
⁃ Consumers pay for each kWh used.
● Smart-Grid economy:
⁃ Contributes directly to green energy,
⁃ Consumers pay electricity at a preferred price
depending on the demand.

5. IOTA
● This Distributed Ledger Technology can scale for this usage.
● It enables micro-transactions between the different actors with no fees.
● A tamper proof network enables the IOT disruption.

6. Build an incentive
This Smart Grid is based on the logic of a market
regulated by offer and demand.
▶ For consumers:
⁃ A lower price of energy,
⁃ A better management of consumption.
▶ For producers:
⁃ Returns on investment,
⁃ Possibility to deploy renewable energy
where it’s most needed.
