6 FAQs about [Solar Power Generation Virtual Currency]
What is a virtual currency based on res generation?
In [ 16 ], a virtual currency linked to RES generation is proposed to facilitate the process of digitalisation and reward model for DER participation in trading through VPP. In contrast, [ 15] provides an incentive mechanism model based on blockchain, optimising grid connected DER connection strategy to allow more freedom.
Are solar energy coins worth anything?
True, the coins are worthless at the moment, but if people start using the currency to support solar energy, it should acquire value.
What is the solarcoin Foundation?
Established in 2015, the SolarCoin Foundation is administered by worldwide emeritus scientists. The Foundation rewards SolarCoin to promote PV solar energy production. It aims to support an installed PV solar capacity of 3,000GW by 2050 (compared to 300GW installed as of today).
Could a new cryptocurrency with a solar-powered twist be a good idea?
A new cryptocurrency with a solar-powered twist could be just the incentive we need to make the shift to clean energy. While most cryptocurrencies are just themed copies of Bitcoin – Dogecoin, based on a famous internet meme, is a notable example – SolarCoins are a bit harder to earn.
How much does solarcoin cost?
SolarCoin Foundation spokesman Nick Gogerty says the initiative is aiming for $20 to $30 per SolarCoin, effectively providing solar panel owners with a crowdfunded feed-in tariff and encouraging more people to take part.
What is a virtual power plant?
Aggregators such as Virtual Power Plants enable participation of small- and medium-scale distributed energy resources in electricity markets, interacting with grid operators to collectively provide ancillary power and energy services.
