The decentralisation of energy supply and demand can contribute decisively to protecting the environment and climate of the planet by consuming electricity in the proximity of the generation source and avoiding losses in transmission and distribution. Supporting energy transactions with emerging intelligent technologies can advance the development of energy communities and accelerate the integration of renewable sources. Distributed energy solutions play an essential role as they are explicitly designed to produce, store and deliver green energy. Profiting with these benefits is essential, especially in the context of the current debate on stopping climate change. Several technologies such as waste heat recovery with intelligent algorithms can improve the energy distribution and provide significant resource savings. On the other hand, the usage of Blockchain technology in energy markets promises to incentivise the use of renewables and provide a reliable framework to monitor real-time information of energy production and consumption. Blockchain can also enable trading between independent agents and lead to the formation of more secured energy communities.

In this paper, we demonstrate how Blockchain can be utilised to support the formation and use of energy communities. We propose a Blockchain-based energy framework as a mean to support energy exchanges in a community of prosumers. We demonstrate how smart contracts can manage energy transactions and enable a more secured trading environment between consumers and producers. We utilise data and models from a real fish processing industrial site in Milford Haven Port, South Wales, based on which we validate our research hypothesis.

能源供需的分散化可以通过在发电源附近消耗电力并避免输配损失来对保护地球的环境和气候做出决定性的贡献。用新兴的智能技术支持能源交易可以促进能源社区的发展并加速可再生能源的整合。分布式能源解决方案起着至关重要的作用，因为它们明确设计用于生产，存储和输送绿色能源。从这些收益中获利至关重要，尤其是在当前有关阻止气候变化的辩论中。诸如采用智能算法的废热回收等多种技术可以改善能量分配并节省大量资源。另一方面，能源市场中区块链技术的使用有望激励可再生能源的使用，并提供一个可靠的框架来监控能源生产和消耗的实时信息。区块链还可以实现独立代理商之间的交易，并导致建立更安全的能源社区。

在本文中，我们演示了如何利用区块链来支持能源社区的形成和使用。我们提出了一个基于区块链的能源框架，以支持生产者社区中的能源交换。我们演示了智能合约如何管理能源交易并为消费者和生产者之间提供更安全的交易环境。我们利用来自南威尔士米尔福德港港口的真实鱼类加工工业基地的数据和模型，以此为基础验证我们的研究假设。
