Proposed Architecture of Cyber Security in Smart Grids, Blockchain as Solution

Abstract

The existing power grid and smart cities enable two-way communications, and the great experience is to increase the reliability, budget, and continuity of production as well as efficiency addressed, transmission and distribution of electricity from the stake to the smart grid implementation. However, connectivity and management issues need to be addressed before you can take full advantage of the smart grid. Furthermore, how to describe the challenges security of the use of grid resources and available energy, how to ensure reliability and safety, and how to provide the capability to be considered when the data communication increase on smart grid systems. In this article, some descriptions of the smart grid, like communications, response and demand, and mainly security, are discussed. blockchain and the integration issues of distributed energy sources are also taking place.
