Objectives• Create a multi-lab, unified testing platform (BLOSEM UTP) that has interoperability to
support a wide variety of blockchains. This testing environment will be representative of the modern grid of the future by encompassing generation, transmission, distribution, and end user (edge) for the electric grid.
• Identify and implement specific use cases that leverage inherent features of blockchain & ledger-based technologies to prevent, detect, and mitigate cyber-attacks.
• Accelerate the pipeline of validated cyber-physical security concepts from laboratory to utility sector, de-risking through standardized metrics and testing.
A multi-lab, DOE consortium to develop cross-sector guidance, standardized metrics, and testing environments for technology maturation of novel blockchain-based concepts for device security, secure
communications, and grid resilience.
Project Team and Partners• DOE Team: NETL (Lead Lab),NREL, Ames,
PNNL, SLAC• Industry Advisors: EPRI, Hitachi, Exelon,
IEEE, SCE, Energy Web Foundation, IBM, CMU, NIST, Rimation, Inc., DERP Tech, West Point U.S. Military Academy
