Internet of Things (IoT) sensors monitor temperature-sensitive goods throughout the supply chain. Nowadays, blockchain is being widely used for traceability, transparency, and immutable storage of this data. However, this approach lacks a mechanism to assess the trustworthiness of the data, and as a result, the reliability of the system is constrained by the quality of […]

Recently, there has been a surge of interest surrounding the integration of blockchain with the Internet of Things (IoT), aiming to address IoT’s inherent issues like single points of failure and concerns related to data integrity. However, although blockchain provides decentralization and transparency, it does not guarantee the accuracy and reliability of IoT-generated data. Therefore, […]
Read MoreBlockchain has become the technology enabler in delivering modern Smart Grid 2.0 functionalities. Many services including Peer-to-Peer energy trading, distribution network management, financial settlements, and energy data management are catered through blockchain-enabled platforms. However, areas such as service quality-based pricing strategies, supply-demand balancing in distribution system to attain enhanced reliability and consumption-oriented rewarding mechanisms need […]

The futuristic energy grids comprise of predominantly renewable generation, to align with the sustainable development goals. This would require integration of renewable energy sources at different levels of the power system out of which, consumers turning into power producers, often referred to as prosumers is an important aspect. Prosumers who generate excess power beyond self-consumption […]

Blockchain offers cryptographically secure storage for recording transactions. However, one issue with blockchains is the problem of bad data and data reliability, where bad data refers to inaccurate, incomplete, or irrelevant data. This paper investigates how machine learning (ML) can be used to identify inaccurate sensor data added to a blockchain in Internet of Vehicles […]
