However, with the increase of energy blockchain projects, the difficulty of data communication and value islands between blockchain networks have become open issues. Thus, in this paper, we propose a dynamic adaptive cross-chain trading mode for multi-microgrid joint operation. The novelty is to design a proof of credit threshold consensus mechanism to achieve effective information verification. This consensus mechanism can ensure the adaptive consistency of cross-chain information without changing the existing blockchain architecture of each system. At the same time, we design a corresponding key management interoperability protocol based on RSA algorithm and Chinese remainder theorem, which can realize data transfer and information consensus for cross-chain transactions. The theoretical analysis verifies that the cross-chain communication information is effective and the system is able to protect against the attack of malicious nodes. Finally, a cross-chain simulation experiment is established to analyze the operation efficiency. The result shows that this cross-chain trading takes place within seconds, which basically meets the response requirements for multi-microgrid joint operation.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/s20216096","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2020,10,27]],"date-time":"2020-10-27T09:22:45Z","timestamp":1603790565000},"page":"6096","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":24,"title":["Dynamic Adaptive Cross-Chain Trading Mode for Multi-Microgrid Joint Operation"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"20","author":[{"given":"Longze","family":"Wang","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"State Key Laboratory of Alternate Electrical Power System with Renewable Energy Sources, School of New Energy, North China Electric Power University, Beijing 102206, China"}]},{"given":"Jing","family":"Wu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Economics and Management, North China Electric Power University, Beijing 102206, China"}]},{"given":"Rongfang","family":"Yuan","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Economics and Management, North China Electric Power University, Beijing 102206, China"}]},{"given":"Delong","family":"Zhang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"State Key Laboratory of Alternate Electrical Power System with Renewable Energy Sources, School of New Energy, North China Electric Power University, Beijing 102206, China"}]},{"given":"Jinxin","family":"Liu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"State Key Laboratory of Alternate Electrical Power System with Renewable Energy Sources, School of New Energy, North China Electric Power University, Beijing 102206, China"}]},{"given":"Siyu","family":"Jiang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"State Key Laboratory of Alternate Electrical Power System with Renewable Energy Sources, School of New Energy, North China Electric Power University, Beijing 102206, China"}]},{"given":"Yan","family":"Zhang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Economics and Management, North China Electric Power University, Beijing 102206, China"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-0731-741X","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Meicheng","family":"Li","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"State Key Laboratory of Alternate Electrical Power System with Renewable Energy Sources, School of New Energy, North China Electric Power University, Beijing 102206, China"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2020,10,27]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","unstructured":"Barros, E.B.C., Batista, B.G., Kuehne, B.T., and Peixoto, M.L.M.
