Abstract
The use of smart grid technologies, in the energy sector has brought about upgrade, such as high efficiency, lower operating costs and better energy management. However, it has also established security aspects. Safeguarding the smart grid is of importance due to its role as essential infrastructure. The innovative potential of blockchain holds promise in enhancing the security of the grid. This paper aims to explore how blockchain technology can be utilized for protecting the grid. It delves into the security issues associated with grids and investigates how blockchain can address them. Additionally, it provides an analysis of studies on blockchain and its application, in grid protection while considering the pros and cons of utilizing blockchain based solutions.
