This course provides an introduction to blockchain technology and its potential applications in the energy sector. Through case studies, students will explore how blockchain can enhance transparency and security in energy data management, enable the decentralization of energy communities and markets, and unlock new opportunities for data monetization. The course will also cover innovative solutions for utilizing energy surpluses and stabilizing the energy grid. Within this framework, due to its importance in the international context, the European project "Data Cellar" will be presented. The goal of the project is to create a federated energy data space that will support the formation, development and management of local energy communities in the EU.

This course provides an introduction to blockchain technology and its potential applications in the energy sector. Guest lecturer: - Silvio Meneguzzo (Researcher at Università di Torino, Università di Camerino, Fondazione Links): He is a National PhD student in Blockchain and Distributed Ledger Technologies (DLT) at the Università di Torino, Università di Camerino, and Fondazione Links. He possesses a broad set of transversal skills that bridge the academic and industrial worlds, aiming to advance his expertise beyond the confines of a purely industrial career. During his first year of the PhD, he focused on groundbreaking research in energy data marketplaces, presenting his findings on the challenges and potential of blockchain, including a paper at the Compsac conference detailing the use of Ocean Protocol in software architecture. At the Brains 2023 conference, he presented a poster on integrating the International Data Spaces Architecture to address fragmented energy data issues. His work, in collaboration with the Links Foundation, expanded to in-depth studies on Data Marketplaces, resulting in impactful papers and contributions to a CRC book. His research also explored the convergence of IoT, DLT, and AI technologies, with tangible outcomes including the definition of key performance indicators (KPIs) and involvement in industry projects. Additionally, he supervised an internship focused on Self-Sovereign Identity themes. His research reflects a dynamic, interdisciplinary approach, demonstrating the intersection of emerging technologies in urban mobility and data marketplaces.
