Securing Advanced Metering Infrastructure Using Blockchain for Energy Trade

Abstract

To effectively regulate the energy supply, advanced metering infrastructure (AMI) deployment is gaining momentum in various parts of the world. Energy distributors, service providers, and consumers must work together to address several issues. All the transactions need to be documented properly and securely. Third parties can be trusted in those transactions by using blockchain. With the deployment of advanced metering infrastructure (AMI) and distributed ledgers, blockchain may aid in safeguarding and facilitating the movement of data. This chapter discusses the viability of utilizing blockchain for advanced metering infrastructure and the security risks and threat landscape.
