Sustainable energy tracking system utilizing blockchain technology and Merkle tree hashing structure
Patent number: 11720526Abstract: Apparatus and associated methods relate to generating energy blocks on a blockchain corresponding to generation, transmission, and consumption of predetermined quanta of energy represented by corresponding records in an associated Merkle trie. In an illustrative example, individual energy data records may be hashed. Each hash may be stored in a leaf node of a Merkle trie. The individual energy data records may be aggregated to correspond to represent a predetermined quantum of energy. The individual energy data records may include energy generation records. The energy blocks may be associated with scheduling, delivery, and consumption data for the energy quantum. Various embodiments may advantageously provide secure, verifiable, and immutable tracking and processing of energy generation, transmission, and consumption of physical energy quanta across one or more distributed energy networks.Type: GrantFiled: November 11, 2020Date of Patent: August 8, 2023Assignee: ClearTrace Technologies, Inc.Inventors: Eric Miller, Evan Caron, Troy Martin -
Patent number: 11715950Abstract: Apparatus and associated methods relate to automatically load matching, in time, energy physically generated and transmitted to a consumption location across at least one tracking and processing infrastructure. In an illustrative example, a load pool (LP) may be created based on energy consumed at a physical location at one or more selected time periods. A generation pool (GP) may, for example, be created based on energy generated and physically available for consumption at the physical location during the time periods. Associations may be created, for example, between measurements in the GP of energy generated and transmitted and measurements in the LP of energy consumed. The associations may be created as a function of predetermined privileges associated with the consumption location and generation locations and/or physical transmission links corresponding to the GP during the time periods. Various embodiments may advantageously determine environmental impact based on location and time-based load matching.Type: GrantFiled: January 28, 2022Date of Patent: August 1, 2023Assignee: ClearTrace Technologies, Inc.Inventors: Eric Miller, Neil Zumwalde, Robert Astrich, Brian Lakamp, Evan Caron, Zachary Livingston, Benjamin Grimes, Troy Martin
