HIVE POWER - Decentralized Energy Communities

Hive Power is Building a Decentralized Energy Community Secured by Blockchain.

Hive Power provides anyone with the possibility to create and manage energy communities on the Ethereum blockchain

What Is Hive Power

Hive Power is a spin-off funded at University of Applied Sciences and Arts of Southern Switzerland (SUPSI) in August 2017 by a team of researchers active in the field of electrical load management, as a part of Swiss national center for electrical infrastructure (SCCER-FURIES).

Hive Power develops a turnkey solution for the creation and management of local energy communities on the blockchain, providing an economic optimization for their participants by lowering their bills and valorizing their assets. In collaboration with meter producers, Hive Power is building a blockchain ready energy meter, which allows to safely tokenize energy. Differently from its competitors, in addition to the blockchain platform Hive Power also provides an efficient energy trading mechanism perfectly tailored to the use case of energy communities. The HONEY algorithm exploits customers’ flexibility to optimally match production and consumption, such that the community’s welfare is maximized and grid technical constraints are satisfied.

Hive Power Vision

Our vision is to provide everyone with the possibility to create and manage electrical energy communities on the Etherum blockchain, creating a world of shared energy for a brighter future. The power sector is facing a paradigm change, moving from a centralized approach with big power plants (hydro, coal, gas and nuclear) leading the energy market to a decentralized scenario adopting distributed energy resources (DER), such as solar and wind.

We believe that the future electrical grid should be characterized by an increase of energy sharing between prosumers, consumers and electric utilities, optimizing the energy resource and the usage of the infrastructure. In several countries, the current unbundled situation allows the end-users to freely choose their energy supplier. In this context, enabling technologies like blockchain, and more specifically Ethereum, will allow decentralized prosumers to safely buy and sell electricity to each other at negligible marginal costs.

What makes Hive Power unique?

Differently from its competitors, in addition to the blockchain platform Hive Power also provides an efficient energy trading mechanism perfectly tailored to the use case of energy communities. The HONEY algorithm exploits customers’ flexibility to optimally match production and consumption, such that the community’s welfare is maximized and grid technical constraints are satisfied.

How Hive Power Work?

Hive Power runs on the Ethereum blockchain, making use of multi-party off-chain channels for fast and cost-effective transactions. Energy transactions are paid with third-party stable tokens.

• Winning the Pitch Competition held during the Blockchain2Business by Solarplaza conference

Hive Token (HVT)

The Hive Token (HVT) is a standard ERC20 Ethereum token managed by a smart contract. The HVT token is used for the creation and management of Hives, including the registration of Ethereum Meters within a Hive, and participation of the Hive Administrator in the technical governance issues of the Hive Power platform. HVTs have a maximum supply (100’000’000) and will be created only once, during the upcoming crowdsale.
