Blockchain-Based Swarm Coordination of DER Clusters: A Novel Conceptual Framework

Author(s) Ms. Anjali Arora, Dr. Upendra Kumar Srivastava
Country India
Abstract Distributed Energy Resources (DER) such as solar PV, wind micro-turbines, smart inverters, electric vehicles (EVs), and home energy storage systems are rapidly increasing in modern power systems. However, their decentralized nature introduces complexities in coordination, demand–supply balancing, and resilience. Existing blockchain-based DER frameworks primarily focus on peer-to-peer (P2P) trading, security, and certificate validation, but lack mechanisms for coordinated swarm-like behaviour among DER units. This paper introduces a novel concept—Blockchain-Based Swarm Coordination of DER Clusters, inspired by swarm intelligence principles such as self-organization, collaboration, local decision-making, and emergent global behaviour. The proposed system integrates blockchain, multi-agent coordination, and decentralized smart contracts to enable secure, autonomous, and scalable coordination of DER clusters. A layered architecture, cluster formation mechanism, consensus-driven decisioning, and energy-sharing algorithms are presented. The framework significantly enhances grid flexibility, improves energy distribution efficiency, reduces central-dependency, and enables real-time proactive response during grid fluctuations. Simulation-driven conceptual outcomes demonstrate improved DER responsiveness, fault tolerance, trust, and transparency. This work establishes a new research direction by merging blockchain with swarm intelligence for next-generation decentralized energy systems.
Keywords Blockchain, Swarm intelligence, DER, energy-sharing algorithms.
