The energy sector in the cities’ functioning is one of the most critical industries where more renewable and efficient solutions are needed. Peer to peer (p2p) energy trading is a mechanism that allows the participants to share the excess energy produced by their private solar panel, helping to reduce the pressure on the main grid in a sustainable way. In this context, blockchain-based p2p energy trading is the solution for which the energy sharing mechanism can become more efficient and safer thanks to the fundamental features of blockchain technology, encouraging more people to join the network and provide a significant contribution to the climate change problem. Like in all the sharing economy markets, p2p energy trading is strictly dependent on the behaviours and perceptions of participants. The first issue that arises is that blockchain technology is an incredibly new innovation and it’s not clear how people perceive it, if with trust or scepticism. There is a risk that the presence of blockchain can slow down the adoption process because of lack of confidence in the technology, decreasing the potential beneficial impact of p2p energy trading. The second issue is the actual trading behaviour of the participants. The sharing mechanism is based on the willingness of the participants to share their assets but if this willingness is not constant, the whole functioning is blocked. Also, the presence of blockchain can alter the actions of participants making them more oriented towards individual benefits than those of the community. Therefore, the objective of this paper is to investigate how participants behave in blockchain based p2p energy trading, analysing their trading actions under different blockchain enabled scenarios and their willing to join such networks.Santos, Vitor Manuel Pereira Duarte dosRUNKluzer, Marco2022-11-18T15:52:52Z2022-10-272022-10-27T00:00:00Zinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersioninfo:eu-repo/semantics/masterThesisapplication/pdfhttp://hdl.handle.net/10362/145626TID:203102568enginfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessreponame:Repositório Científico de Acesso Aberto de Portugal (Repositórios Cientìficos)instname:Agência para a Sociedade do Conhecimento (UMIC) - FCT - Sociedade da Informaçãoinstacron:RCAAP2024-03-11T05:26:13Zoai:run.unl.pt:10362/145626Portal AgregadorONGhttps://www.rcaap.pt/oai/openaireopendoar:71602024-03-20T03:52:11.225578Repositório Científico de Acesso Aberto de Portugal (Repositórios Cientìficos) - Agência para a Sociedade do Conhecimento (UMIC) - FCT - Sociedade da Informaçãofalse
