“…Attacks on an SG could be at the level of components, communications and protocols [15] [20] or topologies. These attacks could take several forms [24][25], such as : Malware and virus spreading, database links, communication hijacking, replay attack with false data injection, Modbus protocol privacy, interception of network traffic, unplanned shutdown [17].…”

Smart Grids (SGs) rely on advanced technologies, generating significant data traffic across the network, which plays a crucial role in various tasks such as electricity consumption billing, actuator activation, resource optimization, and network monitoring. This paper presents a new approach that integrates Machine Learning (ML), Blockchain Technology (BT), and Markov Decision Process (MDP) to improve the security of SG networks while ensuring accurate storage of events reported by various network devices through BT. The enhanced version of the Proof of Work (PoW) consensus mechanism ensures data integrity by preventing tampering and establishing the reliability of known and unknown attack detection. The proposed versions of PoW, namely GPoW 1.0 and GPoW 2.0, aim to make the consensus process more environmentally friendly.

This study investigates the pivotal role of cybersecurity in bolstering environmental protection and sustainable development, a critical yet underexplored nexus in contemporary research. Employing a systematic literature review and content analysis, the research scrutinizes peer-reviewed articles, conference proceedings, and industry reports from 2015 to 2023, sourced from databases such as IEEE Xplore, ScienceDirect, and Google Scholar. The methodology is anchored in a rigorous search strategy, leveraging keywords related to cybersecurity, sustainability, and communication technologies, and adheres to defined inclusion and exclusion criteria to ensure the relevance and quality of the literature reviewed. Key findings highlight cybersecurity as an indispensable enabler of sustainable development initiatives, safeguarding the technological infrastructure essential for environmental conservation efforts. The study identifies evolving cyber threats as a significant challenge, necessitating adaptive security measures that anticipate and mitigate potential vulnerabilities. Furthermore, it underscores the opportunities presented by advanced cybersecurity technologies, such as artificial intelligence and blockchain, in enhancing the security and efficiency of sustainable practices. Strategic recommendations emphasize the need for comprehensive cybersecurity frameworks, stakeholder collaboration, cybersecurity education, and alignment with regulatory standards to fortify the resilience of sustainability initiatives against cyber threats. The study concludes that integrating robust cybersecurity measures is paramount in the pursuit of sustainable development goals, calling for ongoing vigilance, innovation, and interdisciplinary collaboration to navigate the complex landscape of digital threats and opportunities. This research contributes valuable insights into the critical intersection of cybersecurity and sustainability, offering a foundation for future studies and strategic initiatives aimed at securing sustainable development in the digital age. Keywords: Cybersecurity, Sustainable Development, Environmental Protection, Advanced Security Technologies.

“…Additionally, e-infrastructure of energy system suffers from cyber security challenges caused by interconnectivity between sensors and controllers. The majority of devices installed, and communication protocols used in the energy grid, are designed with limited cyber-security considerations, which would increase the risk of economic loss, asset damage, or widespread blackouts [22,23]. Furthermore, the data captured and stored in e-infrastructure are considered as valuable assets and should be protected as an asset of the company and the property of the individual customer.…”

Research and development are critical for driving economic growth. To realise the UK government’s Industrial Strategy, we develop an energy research and innovation infrastructure roadmap and landscape for the energy sector looking to the long term (2030). This study is based on a picture of existing UK infrastructure on energy. It shows the links between the energy sector and other sectors, the distribution of energy research and innovation infrastructures, the age of these infrastructures, where most of the energy research and innovation infrastructures are hosted, and the distribution of energy research and innovation infrastructures according to their legal structure. Next, this study identifies the roadmap of energy research and innovation infrastructures by 2030, based on a categorisation of the energy sector into seven subsectors. Challenges and future requirements are explored for each of the sub-sectors, encompassing fossil fuels and nuclear energy to renewable energy sources and hydrogen, and from pure science to applied engineering. The study discusses the potential facilities to address these challenges within each sub-sector. It explores the e-infrastructure and data needs for the energy sector and provides a discussion on other sectors of the economy that energy research and innovation infrastructures contribute to. Some of the key messages identified in this study are the need for further large-scale initiative and large demonstrators of multi-vector energy systems, the need for multi-disciplinary research and innovation, and the need for greater data sharing and cyber-physical demonstrators. Finally, this work will serve as an important study to provide guidance for future investment strategy for the energy sector.
