摘要

Smart grids integrate computer, communication, and sensing technologies into pre-existing power grid networks to achieve significant information-related benefits. It will make bidirectional power transmission, neighborly communication, localized management, and efficient demand response possible. Smart Grids (SG) replace conventional grids by integrating many operational measures, including smart automation appliances, smart meters, and renewable energy sources. In terms of energy management and solving energy-related problems, SG is among the newest and probably most revolutionary technologies. Nevertheless, its complexity suggests that decentralization might result in significant advantages. Due to its increasing digitization and interconnectedness, it is also vulnerable to cyberattacks. Blockchain is a possible solution to the SG paradigm that has many great benefits. Despite the fact that blockchains have been thoroughly investigated as a way to improve and decentralize cybersecurity for smart grids, not much application or architectural research has been done on them to yet. Blockchain-enabled SG applications are the subject of a thorough investigation. Many instances, including as home automation, energy management systems, and electric vehicles (EVs), have prompted the proposal of blockchain designs for the respective use cases and applications. Network security for information exchange is essential. With this evolving system, there are cybersecurity issues though. This essay aims to guide academics in the right direction so they can use blockchain technology in the future to create safe distributed SG applications. This article also describes the cybersecurity dangers associated with smart grids. The description of a blockchain is presented first, followed by the architecture, challenges, and solutions for several applications related to smart grids. Before diving into the more complex and contemporary cybersecurity threats that the smart grid is experiencing, it starts with a review of the tried-and-true methods for power grid security. Additionally, common cyberattack cases are displayed, and countermeasures are talked about.
