About this ebook
The central utility is dying; the neighborhood microgrid is being born.
Traditional energy grids are rigid, inefficient, and fail to reward individual prosumers for their green contributions.
What are the benefits?
- Master the mechanics of neighborhood-scale energy market clearing.
- Understand the blockchain and smart contract logic behind P2P sales.
- Learn to navigate the shift from passive consumer to active prosumer.
- Explore the algorithms that balance local supply and demand automatically.
- Gain unparalleled depth with 210 curated concepts mapped across 21 chapter-specific appendices for comprehensive technical mastery.
