“…They proposed a layer stack model for SG applications and analyzed the usage of consensus protocols in terms of computation and communication costs. Zhou et al [100] proposed security-based solutions in SG based on private key generators to address the limitations of key escrow. The authors proposed in current key exchange scenarios, consensus protocols like PoW, PoS, DPoS are not sufficient.…”

Modern industry 4.0 applications are shifting towards decentralized automation of computing and cyber-physical systems (CPS), which necessitates building a robust, secure, and efficient system that performs complex interactions with other physical processes. To handle complex interactions in CPS, trust and consensus among various stakeholders is a prime concern. In a similar direction, consensus algorithms in blockchain have evolved over the years that focus on building smart, robust, and secure CPS. Thus, it is imperative to understand the key components, functional characteristics, and architecture of different consensus algorithms used in CPS. Many consensus algorithms exist in the literature with a specified set of functionalities, performance, and computing services. Motivated from these facts, in this survey, we present a comprehensive analysis of existing state-of-the-art consensus mechanisms and highlight their strength and weaknesses in decentralized CPS applications. In the first part, we present the scope of the proposed survey and identify gaps in the existing surveys. Secondly, we present the review method and objectives of the proposed survey based on research questions that address the gaps in existing studies. Then, we present a solution taxonomy of decentralized consensus mechanisms for various CPS applications. Then, open issues and challenges are also discussed in deploying various consensus mechanisms in the CPS with their merits and demerits. The proposed survey will act as a road-map for blockchain developers and researchers to evaluate and design future consensus mechanisms, which helps to build an efficient CPS for industry 4.0 stakeholders.

“…Paper Title: RP-1-A Blockchain-Based Access Control Scheme for Smart Grids. [29] Problem Addressed: At present power grids have Centralized Access control schemes (ACS) which have centralized or third-party authentication generating the potential risk of data loss and manipulation as well as key escrow problem of the untrusted third parties. Proposed Solution:The paper proposes blockchain-based decentralized access control system, the system is based on consortium blockchain, proposes consensus algorithm for the selection of private key generator (PKG) in smart power grids with incentive and penalty mechanism, the PKG here is reusable and could be used for many scenarios.…”

The energy industry needs to shift to a new paradigm from its classical model of energy generation, distribution, and management. This shift is necessary to handle digitization, increased renewable energy generation, and to achieve goals of environmental sustainability. This shift has several challenges on its way and has been seen through research and development that blockchain which is one of the budding technology in this era could be suitable for addressing those challenges. This paper is aimed at the survey of all the research and development related to blockchain in the energy industry and uses a software engineering approach to categories all the existing work in several clusters such as challenges addressed, quality attribute promoted, the maturity level of the solutions, etc. This survey provides researchers in this field a well-defined categorization and insight into the existing work in this field from 3 different perspectives (challenges, quality attributes, maturity).
