Abstract:

This paper provides an analysis of recent advancements and potential applications of blockchain technology in microgrids. Microgrids are small-scale electrical networks that can operate autonomously or integrate with a central power grid, offering enhanced security, resilience, and efficiency in energy utilization through blockchain implementation. Blockchain's decentralization, transparency, and security capabilities present innovative solutions for optimizing microgrid operations. This study explores blockchain applications in microgrids, addressing fundamental principles, prior research, existing gaps, case studies, technical and regulatory challenges, and future optimization opportunities. The findings indicate that while blockchain adoption in microgrids is still in its early stages, it holds significant promise for transforming energy systems. With continuous technological advancements and supportive policy frameworks, blockchain can facilitate the transition towards a more sustainable and efficient energy future. Furthermore, the global proliferation of blockchain-based microgrids highlights the need for Indonesia, endowed with abundant renewable energy resources, to enact regulatory measures supporting this emerging technology
