Electricity demand is rapidly increasing with the advancement of modern civilization. Centralized power grids have several limitations, such as large-scale blackouts, transmission losses, and difficulties in integrating renewable energy. To solve these problems, microgrids have emerged, which complement the weaknesses of centralized power grids based on regional independence and flexibility and enable efficient and stable power supply even in military power grids. The security of microgrids is particularly important. Distributed energy systems are vulnerable to cyberattacks and data falsification, and if the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of data in microgrids are not guaranteed, operational disruptions may occur. Private blockchains can solve these problems. This paper proposes a method to manage power operations more efficiently and safely by combining the security elements of private blockchains to strengthen the security of microgrids.
