Abstract

Blockchain, a data structure that securely and efficiently records transactions, plays a fundamental role in the creation of decentralized platforms. This emerging technology is transforming the energy transaction landscape, improving the efficiency, reliability, and sustainability of energy systems. In this study, a Systematic Literature Review (SLR) focused on the technologies employed in electricity transactions was conducted. Specialized databases such as Scopus, IEEE, ACM, and Google Scholar were consulted. The crucial role of Blockchain technology is highlighted, which is being widely adopted due to its focus on decentralization and its ability to establish immutable and transparent records. Various fundamental elements in these operations were identified, such as nodes, smart contracts, and optimization algorithms, which enable the effective and decentralized operation of the network, ensuring the security and reliability of transactions.
