Abstract: In order to improve the utilization of integrated energy management system, and simultaneously protect the identity information of accessing users in the process of energy trading account, this paper puts forward a integrated energy management system framework based on blockchain technology, and designed a special kind of zero-knowledge proof authentication method. First, this paper introduces applicability of blockchain technology in integrated energy management system, then analyzes privacy issues in data interaction between users and load aggregator's, and discusses the unique advantages of blockchain technology in integrated energy management system, such as traceability, openness, anonymity in solving trusting problems, and records all interactive information by using blocks. Finally, based on the proposed zero-knowledge proof method, the connection between user's biological information and user's stored information is established to realize an automatic, secured and trusted authentication mode.

Key words: integrated energy management system, blockchain, privacy issues, system framework, authentication
