About the RECKON Project
RECKON gathers partners from Hungary, Czechia and Türkiye, which are with complementary capabilities and profiles, yet committed to delivering a common goal. Overall, RECKON aims at developing a system that would enable the utilization and optimization of available distributed electric energy production (e.g. residential and commercial PVs) surplus to run on-demand tasks on locally installed computers with high computational power capabilities and relatively high electrical energy needs locally.
This facilitates the local consumption of local green production and minimizes network losses and issues (e.g. network congestion, overvoltage).
The project contains crowd computing elements (computers) for blockchain application and IoT energy metering devices distributed locally at PV production assets and a central computing task manager and energy management.
Main Project Goals
- Optimizing Local Energy Utilization: By leveraging local renewable energy sources, the project aims to maximize the efficient use of green energy for blockchain computing.
- Balancing and Compensation for Producers/Prosumers: The project seeks to implement mechanisms for fair compensation of surplus energy production and address grid connection challenges.
- Reducing Cloud Computing Energy Costs: The project will optimize energy consumption in cloud-based services, leading to reduced operational costs and improved profitability.
- Scalable and Distributed Blockchain Infrastructure: A key focus is the creation of a scalable and heterogeneous blockchain system, allowing efficient computing capacity utilization.
- Facilitating Private Blockchain Networks: The project will enable the establishment of private blockchain networks for companies, enhancing their capabilities for creating and validating smart contracts.
- Distributed Computing Cloud: Partners will actively host dedicated servers and local centers within the distributed computing cloud to efficiently manage tasks and monitor energy surplus.
- Local IT Gateway Management: The project will ensure the efficient management of local resources and energy optimization at the system's edge through the "Local IT gateway"
