Reviewer 2 Report

The submitted manuscript presents a study proposing a transaction matching strategy for multiple virtual power plants based on alliance blockchain.
Although not groundbreaking, the paper meets the minimum required standards to be published in the Sustainability journal. However, before submitting the final version some modifications are suggested:

- Please try to better emphasize the innovative aspects of the work and the reasons why it is worth the publication;
- The literature research is undignified. Please provide references coming from distributed sources and authors;
- Please fix the spacing before and after tables and equations.

Reviewer 3 Report

The authors need to better explain the context of this research, including why the research problem is important.

Contributions should be highlighted more. It should be made clear what is novel and how it addresses the limitations of prior work. 

The related work section is not well organized. Authors must try to categorize the papers and present them in a logical way.

The authors should explain clearly what  the differences are between the prior work and the solution presented in this paper.

The authors should add a clear and detailed problem definition. 

There are inconsistencies in the notations used through the paper. Please make it consistent. 

There is not enough discussion of the experimental results. 

Some text must be added to discuss the future work or research opportunities.

Round 2

Reviewer 2 Report

Since the authors have mainly addressed all my previous comments, the paper can now be accepted for publication given that some format aspects are adjusted before the final manuscript submission.

Some examples are:

- the word “multiple” in the title has a different font for some letters;

- newly added references show the citation number [7] as superscript;

- the title of section 5 is at the end of the page;

- references fonts are different for some new references etc.
