Smart grids are IoT-enabled grids at which communication devices can be used to interconnect, monitor and manage distributed energy resources (DERs). The emerging efficient and clean energy DERs such as Lithium-ion batteries and Photovoltaic have been widely used in IoT-enabled smart grids that makes their secure operation challenging. In this paper, a blockchain-based IoT platform, namely BIoT, is proposed to maintain security of energy supply network including DERs against IoT platform’s security issues, e.g., single point of failure, malicious code and data leak. BIoT verifies resource management requests in a consensus process, provides certificate-based authentication as well as attribute-based access control, and ensures data integrity. BIoT’s performance has been evaluated on Ontario Energy Board (OEB) Cybersecurity framework and a performance benchmark. |
