19. EV Charging Infrastructure - Problem
Ø Centralised Managed Platform
Ø Lack of Transparency on billing
Ø The Surplus energy is being waisted
Ø Third Party Involvement
Ø High Process time

20. EV Charging Infrastructure - Solution
Ø Decentralised Managed Platform
Ø P2P Charging and Payments
Ø Energy Sharing
Ø No third-party intermediary

21. EV Charging Infrastructure - Solution
Leveraging the Blockchain technology to which is align with the solution:
Blockchain is a technology that enables so-called “peer-to-peer” transactions. With this type of transaction, every
participant in a network can transact directly with every other network participant without involving a third-party
intermediary.
Ø Decentralised Managed Platform
Ø P2P Charging and Payments
Ø Energy Sharing
Ø No third-party intermediary

22. What is Blockchain ?
Ø Blockchain is a special technology for peer-to-peer transaction platforms that uses decentralised storage to record all
transaction data.
Ø Blockchain technology changes the way we transact, with the underlying transaction model shifting away from a
centralised structure (banks, exchanges, trading platforms, energy companies) towards a decentralised system (end
customers, energy consumers).
Ø Third-party intermediaries, whose services are needed today in most industries, are no longer required in such
systems because transactions can be initiated and carried out directly “from peer to peer”.
Ø The entire system becomes more flexible, as many previously manual work tasks are now carried out automatically
through smart contracts.
Ø Conflicts are to be resolved using “swarm” principles, i.e. based on the collective opinion of all parties involved which
is bases upon consensus algorithm.

23. Benefits of Blockchain
The Key benefits of Blockchain:
Ø Immutability
Ø Decentralized model
Ø Public verifiability
Ø Trustlessness
Ø Auditability: Through proper key-distribution at
ü System level
ü User level
ü Contract level

24. How does a blockchain work ?
Transactions Process
Verification Process

25. How does P2P work in blockchain ?
P2P enable a consumer to produce energy and shared with other peer. So here the Consumer become a Prosumer and
will be produce and share the energy.

26. P2P EV Charging Infrastructure
So lets validate the how the P2P EV Charging infrastructure landscape will be using blockchain.

31. P2P EV Charging Infrastructure - Implementation

32. P2P EV Charging Infrastructure - Implementation
Ø Hyperledger Fabric is the foundation platform of the consortium blockchain, an open source project initiated
by the Linux Foundation in 2015.
Ø Which is mainly used to promote blockchain digital technology and transaction verification.
Ø Hyperledger Fabric is not a completely open system, and access to the network requires authorization.

33. P2P EV Charging Infrastructure - Implementation
Ø Assets - Asset definitions enable the exchange of almost anything with monetary value over the network, from whole
foods to antique cars to currency futures.
Ø Chaincode - Chaincode execution is partitioned from transaction ordering, limiting the required levels of trust and
verification across node types, and optimizing network scalability and performance.
Ø Ledger Features - The immutable, shared ledger encodes the entire transaction history for each channel, and includes
SQL-like query capability for efficient auditing and dispute resolution.
Ø Privacy through Channels - Channels enable multi-lateral transactions with the high degrees of privacy and
confidentiality required by competing businesses and regulated industries that exchange assets on a common network.
Ø Security & Membership Services - Permissioned membership provides a trusted blockchain network, where
participants know that all transactions can be detected and traced by authorized regulators and auditors.
Ø Consensus - a unique approach to consensus enables the flexibility and scalability needed for the enterprise

34. P2P EV Charging Infrastructure - Implementation
The solution implemented uses a
permissioned (private) blockchain.

35. P2P EV Charging Infrastructure - dApp
Decentralized Application simply an app that runs as the mobile.
Ø User Registration to the P2P network.
Ø EV Registration on the P2P network.
Ø Booking Appointment for charge.
Ø Billing and Payment (Digital Wallet)
Ø Analysis and Reporting
Ø Price and Usage Prediction

36. P2P EV Charging Infrastructure - Charging Model
Postpaid:
Ø Ease of payment as the bill comes at the end of month.
Ø The user need not worry about carrying cards/wallet all the times. He can freely charge at any place without
the need of paying instantly.
Ø Care-freely charge anywhere anytime you want. You will receive the bill right at your doorsteps at the end of
the month.
Prepaid:
Ø Instant payment prevents some possibilities of overcharging the customer.
Ø The seller can be challenged then and there itself.
Ø Similar to a Delhi Metro Smart Card. You buy a card, recharge it with money and use wherever and whenever
you want.
