| description | Blockchain technology empowers decentralized transactions in smart grids, but existing consensus algorithms face efficiency and security bottlenecks under Byzantine attacks. This article proposes the RVR consensus algorithm, which innovatively integrates dynamic reputation evaluation, verifiable random function (VRF), and a weight-driven probability election mechanism to achieve (1) behavior-aware dynamic adjustment of reputation weights and (2) manipulation-resistant random leader election via VRF. Experimental verification shows that under a silence attack, the maximum latency is reduced by 37.88% compared to HotStuff, and under a forking attack, the maximum throughput is increased by 50.66%, providing an efficient and secure new paradigm for distributed energy trading. |
