The shift from centralized power plants to fully distributed generation, storage and provision of energy may be the greatest innovation of next decades. To succeed, it must be supported by the completion of the decarbonization process, using hydrogen as main energy carrier. The envisioned new energy economy (hydrogen economy) promises to eliminate global warming, pollution and dependency on oil reserves. Among the many issues that still have to be solved, in this paper we focus on the ICT aspect. Distributed energy production and sharing requires efficient distributed software architectures. To this purpose, the peer-to-peer paradigm is highly suitable for the realization of robust and scalable systems.

Abstract
The shift from centralized power plants to fully distributed generation, storage and provision of energy may be the greatest innovation of next decades. To succeed, it must be supported by the completion of the decarbonization process, using hydrogen as main energy carrier. The envisioned new energy economy (hydrogen economy) promises to eliminate global warming, pollution and dependency on oil reserves. Among the many issues that still have to be solved, in this paper we focus on the ICT aspect. Distributed energy production and sharing requires efficient distributed software architectures. To this purpose, the peer-to-peer paradigm is highly suitable for the realization of robust and scalable systems.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
