Platform Mechanics
The C4E platform is built on the basis of 3 layers, thanks to which it is possible to:
- provide security for customers’ transactions and energy transfer,
- implement ENERGY ACQUISITION & BILLING AUTOMATION for the entire,
- renewable energy market,
- gain full set of smart grid components
Therefore, we have three layers:
Layer 1 – SECURITY & DECENTRALIZATION
Layer 2 – CUSTOMER & ENERGY ACQUISITION
Layer 3 – SMART GRID COMPONENTS
BLOCKCHAIN SECURITY
LAYER 1
The Blockchain network is a foundation on which the Chain4Energy ecosystem is based. Blockchain removes delays, gets the right information to the right place, and eliminates the possibility of fraud and manipulation. It also enables P2P energy trading (without intermediaries), and thus effectively, between energy market participants.
Blockchain security and decentralization
The blockchain on which C4E is built uses Delegated Proof of Stake, thus giving everyone a chance to secure and influence the development of the ecosystem through DAO – Decentralized Autonomous Organization.
In return, users are rewarded with C4E tokens as a staking reward.
Decentralized Apps (dApps)
Chain4Energy decided to build a number of dApps that are necessary for the operation of the “Layer2” and “Layer3” layers.
CUSTOMER & ENERGY ACQUISITION
LAYER 2
The C4E has created a comprehensive and unique solution containing the mechanisms of flexible CRM, sales, and billing automation, including:
- invoicing related to automation and data analysis
- integrated with global energy exchanges
- automatic data collection from energy distributors
- forecasting energy production and consumption
SMART GRID COMPONENTS
LAYER 3
The Smart Grid Components layer is the most important of the entire Chain4Energy system.
It provides unique products that define modern business models for all participants of the distributed energy market:
- Energy trading
- Energy tokenization
- Energy transfers
- VPP – Energy Aggregation & Balancing
- Assessing prosumers and energy community
- Micro grid – DAO/microgrid governance, invoicing, billing, crowdfunding, P2P energy trading.
- Integration with energy storage facilities
- Tools for fighting energy Poverty
- Electromobility
