Improving Security and Scalability in Smart Grids using Blockchain Technologies

Abstract

In the current industrial century, smart grid is one of the technologies that has been proposed for efficient and quality distribution of electricity. However, this technology is exposed to many security threats and vulnerabilities. These challenges have led to the development of advanced technologies and sustainable solutions to make smart grids more secure and reliable. Blockchain is one of the recent technologies that has attracted a lot of attention in various applications, including smart grids. SealedGRID is a project designed, analyzed and implemented with the aim of providing a scalable and reliable Smart Grid security platform based on blockchain. In this paper, we present a scalable and secure solution for smart grids using Hyperledger Fabric and MQTT.
