Popis: | Smart Grid (SG) systems necessitate secure Demand Response Management (DRM) schemes for real-time decisions making to increase the effectiveness and stability of SG systems along with data security. Motivated from the aforementioned discussion, in this paper, we propose Q-SDRM, a secure DRM scheme for Home Energy Management (HEM) using Reinforcement Learning (RL) and Ethereum Blockchain (EBC) to facilitate energy consumption reduction and decrease energy costs. In cooperation with RL, Q-learning is adopted to make optimal price decisions using Markov Decision Process (MDP) to reduce energy consumption, which benefits both consumers and utility providers. Then, Q-SDRM uses Ethereum Smart-Contract (ESC) to deal with data security issues and incorporate with off-chain storage InterPlanetary File System (IPFS) that handles data storage costs issue. Experimental results reveal the effectiveness of the proposed Q-SDRM scheme, which significantly reduces energy consumption and energy cost. The proposed scheme also provides secure access to energy data in real-time compared with state-of-the-art approaches regarding different evaluation metrics such as scalability, overall energy cost, and data storage cost. |
