A Distributed and Secure Architecture for Collective Self-Consumption in Energy Communities

This talk will describe a distributed and secure architecture to manage self-consumption in renewable-based energy communities. Taking inspiration from Game theory, the proposed architecture allows a decentralized governance of an energy community whose main aim is self-consumption. Data privacy is also guaranteed by a simple method for hiding the content of personal data about electricity consumptions.
