Blockchain-Enabled Cross-Chain Coordinated Trading Strategy for Electricity-Carbon-Green Certificate in Virtual Power Plants: Multi-Market Coupling and Low-Carbon Operation Optimiz... by Chao Zheng, Wei Huang, Suwei Zhai, Kaiyan Pan, Xuehao He, Xiaojie Liu, Shi Su, Cong Shen, Qian Ai

“…In the context of global climate governance and the low-carbon energy transition, virtual power plant (VPP), a key technology for integrating distributed energy resources, is urgently needed to solve the problem of decentralization and lack of synergy in electricity, carbon, and green certificate trading. Existing studies mostly focus on single energy or carbon trading scenarios and lack a multi-market coupling mechanism supported by blockchain technology, resulting in low transaction transparency and a high risk of information tampering. …”
