Energy is practically the basis for the modern economy because at present any production due to the application of scientific and technical improvements becomes more energy intensive.
This includes enterprises that are engaged in the generation of energy resources and the processes of transformation, transfer, and use of various types of energy. In addition, other industries, which determine the progress of production, have been developed on its basis.

The main stages of work:

• extraction and processing of energy resources;
• transfer of energy resources to power plants;
• conversion of primary energy to secondary energy using power plants;
• bringing secondary energy to consumers;

The main branch of power is the electric power industry. By the way of obtaining energy resources, the electric power industry is divided into traditional and alternative.

The traditional electric power industry includes:

• thermal power engineering. The energy obtained by burning fuel is converted into electric energy. Natural gas reserves, oil, oil shale, peat, coal, etc., are used as fuel;
• hydropower engineering. The kinetic energy of the natural water stream is converted into electrical energy;
• nuclear power engineering. The energy released by fission of atomic nuclei in the reactor is converted into electrical energy;

Alternative electric power industry includes wind, solar, geothermal, hydrogen, thermonuclear, small hydroelectric power plants, fuel cell installations, bioenergy plants. These types of the energy industry are currently used inefficiently and are more forward-looking because they are based on renewable energy sources. Their use will help reduce the consumption of non-renewable sources, reduce the environmental burden of the fuel and energy sector, reduce transportation costs associated with the transfer of electricity to remote areas.
However, if in the financial sector the blockchain is already used, then for the power industry it is still a novelty. However, the situation is changing rapidly. So, in Germany, they say that the German energy industry "picked up" the blockchain fever. And, apparently, this is not an exaggeration, because according to a study by the German Energy Agency, more than 50% of companies operating in the market are planning to launch blockchain projects. In the course of the survey, 70 decision-makers in the energy sector were interviewed and it turned out that two-thirds of them considered the further introduction of blockchain technology to be quite probable. About 20% of them believe that blockchain is a key technology for fundamental market changes, almost 70% have heard of the blockchain and more than 50% are planning to start working or are already working with blockchain projects.
What does the German energy industry expect from the blockchain? How, according to power engineers, will technology affect their markets? The most important impetus for what a blockchain can do in the energy sector is the short study presented by PricewaterhouseCoopers (PwC) for the consumer market of the federal state of North Rhine-Westphalia, Germany's most populous region. According to this study, "suppliers with surplus energy in the age of digital technology can become intermediaries. The so-called requesting companies - consumers who produce and sell energy themselves - "can gain certain advantages when the blockchain makes markets easier. Benefits will also be given to ordinary consumers of electricity and gas if the blockchain is making energy cheaper.
As experts explain, the main idea is as follows: the development of renewable energy in Germany decentralizes the previously extremely centralized electricity market. But, although technology and key players have become more decentralized, the market and trade have retained old centralized structures. Now the blockchain should help the market to improve and also become decentralized, giving consumers the opportunity to directly purchase energy from producers, instead of receiving it from third-party, from central suppliers. In theory, the blockchain can create an energy market where the supply can flexibly respond to demand.

Robotina Platform (https://www.robotinaico.com/) will optimize the functioning of the entire electricity grid, reduce electric energy consumption and lower the electricity costs. See how you can save money and/or earn ROX Tokens as a user or just a member of the community. ROX will be the fuel for Robotina’s IoT platform, used by members worldwide. It is an application-specific token, built on top of the existing Ethereum blockchain, that allows us to give the value of the cooperative network back to the community.
The company developed and introduced its first fully independent product in 2001, a range of distributed Programmable Logic Controller PLC systems used in industry, buildings, infrastructure and remote management of renewable energy (photovoltaic) plants, smart grids, and smart cities. In 2007, the company built its new headquarters, R&D laboratories, manufacturing plant and warehouse in Hrpelje (Kozina), on the crossroads between Italy, Slovenia, Croatia, and Austria. The building is the company’s show case and utilizes all its technologies, making it green, zero-emission and net electricity producer (i.e. we produce more clean energy than we consume in total). The company is today well known as a comprehensive technology and solution provider both for final customers and OEM.

The Robotina Whitepaper (https://www.robotinaico.com/documents/Robotina_WP.pdf), 67 sheets, is a very good prepared in all parts. It has all detailed information. Also, there is all necessary information for the buyer of tokens.
