Blockchain Applications in Power Systems: A Bibliometric Analysis

Abstract

Power systems are growing rapidly, due to ever-increasing demand for electrical power. These systems require novel methodologies and modern tools and technologies, to better perform, particularly for communication among different parts. Therefore, power systems are facing new challenges such as energy trading and marketing and cyber threats. Using blockchain in power systems, as a solution, is one of the newest methods. Most studies aim to investigate innovative approaches of blockchain application in power systems. Even though, many articles published to support the research activities, there has not been any bibliometric analysis which specifies the research trends. This paper aims to present a bibliographic analysis of the blockchain application in power systems related literature, in the Web of Science (WoS) database between January 2009 and July 2019 . This paper discusses the research activities and performed a detailed analysis by looking at the number of articles published, citations, institutions, research area, and authors. From the analysis, it was concluded that there are several significant impacts of research activities in China and USA, in comparison to other countries.

Bibliometric Analysis of IT/IS Investment Research

“…The bibliometric analysis contains various applications from information science, sociology, history of science, and research evaluation. This method is used to evaluate, monitor, and visualize the structure of scientific fields (Rouzbahani et al, 2020). Bibliometric methods can be divided into two parts: general instructions and publication analysis.…”

Assessing Insider Attacks and Privacy Leakage in Managed IoT Systems for Residential Prosumers

“…The Industrial Control Systems Cyber Emergency Response Team (ICS-CERT) stated that more than half of the most important attacks reported across all sectors have been conducted on the electrical power system [11]. Employing a massive number of smart devices along with the new generation of communication infrastructures in IoT-based networks opens the gate for cyber and physical malicious behaviors.…”

Entropically damped artificial compressibility for SPH

“…Upon the specification of suitable initial conditions for u, p, m, and r, equations (4), (6), (10), and (11) are sufficient for simulating the flow in the absence of any boundaries.…”

“…The Implicit Incompressible SPH scheme (IISPH) [9] proposes an iterative solution procedure to alleviate some of these issues. Recently, an Artificial Compressibility-based Incompressible SPH (ACISPH) scheme [10] has been proposed which applies a traditional dual-time stepping approach used in Eulerian schemes to satisfy incompressibility. This scheme is also explicit and seems a promising alternative to the traditional ISPH schemes.…”
