Blockchain-based prosumer incentivization for peak mitigation through temporal aggregation and contextual clustering

Peak mitigation is of interest to power companies as peak periods may require the operator to over provision supply in order to meet the peak demand. Flattening the usage curve can result in cost savings, both for the power companies and the end users. Integration of renewable energy into the energy...
