Liana Toderean & Dan Mitrea - Academic Research: Decentralized Energy Markets & Quantum Blockchain

Mon, Feb 2, 2026, 12:00 AM

This presentation explores the emerging role of decentralized energy markets within energy communities, focusing on how blockchain technologies can coordinate energy flexibility and peer-to-peer transactions among prosumers. It outlines the market architecture, main actors (producers, consumers, DSOs), and typical operational flows. The presentation will highlight a use case involving energy coordination in residential buildings, where apartments and buildings trade energy flexibility. Considering this use case, the talk will continue with security improvements to the blockchain layer leveraging quantum technologies, such as quantum random number generators.
