Abstract

Data integrity is of paramount importance to the operation and analysis of Microgrids. This paper has developed a functional blockchain system incorporating digital file hashing. The system provides the means to detect file tampering contributing to the advancement of data transparency and security. Opportunities for improvement to the current system have been provided, along with suggestions for future research.
