Abstract: With electric vehicle (EV) charging, green energy production costs could be reduced, and smart grid (SG) reliability improved. Nevertheless, the vast number of EVs could adversely affect the stability of the voltage and cost of operation. The present study designs a new security-based system based on a new EV participation charging method for a decentralized blockchain-enabled SG system. It is aimed at minimizing the level of power alternation in the electrical network and the total charging costs of EVs as mobile systems. In the first step, the power alternation level issue of the SG is formulated based on the capacity of EV batteries, the rate of charging, and EV users’ charging behavior. Next, a new adaptive blockchain-based EV participation (AdBEV) method is proposed, using the Iceberg order execution algorithm for improving EV discharging and charging schedules. Simulated outcomes demonstrate that the suggested method is superior to the genetic algorithm method when it comes to reducing power fluctuation levels and total charging cost.
