BLOCKCHAIN FOR CYBERPHYSICAL SYSTEMS
Published: October 2020
Pages: 310
DESCRIPTION:
This exciting book will explore how Blockchain (BC) technology has the potential to overcome challenges in the current cyber-physical system (CPS) environment. BC is a timestamp ledger of blocks that is used for storing and sharing data in a distributed manner. BC has attracted attention from practitioners and academics in different disciplines, including law, finance, and computer science, due to its use of distributed structure, immutability and security and privacy. However, applying blockchain in a cyber-physical system (CPS) is not straightforward and involves challenges, including lack of scalability, resource consumption, and delay.
This book will provide a comprehensive study on blockchain for CPS. CPS and the existing solutions in CPS and will outline the limitations are presented. The key features of blockchain and its salient features which makes it an attractive solution for CPS are discussed. The fundamental challenges in adopting blockchain for CPS including scalability, delay, and resource consumption are presented and described. Blockchain applications in smart grids, smart vehicles, supply chain; and IoT Data marketplaces are explored. The future research directions to further improve blockchain performance in CPS is also provided.
CONTENTS:
Introduction to Cyberphysical Systems (CPS); State-of-the-art distributed solutions for CPS security and transparency; Blockchain for CPS; Lightweight scalable blockchain (LSB); Memory optimized blockchain (MOF-BC); Managing data trust in blockchain; User anonymity in blockchain; Blockchains applications in Smart Grids; Blockchain applications in smart vehicles; Blockchain applications in Supply Chain; Blockchain applications in IoT Data Marketplaces; Concluding Remarks and Future Directions.

IEC 61850 Demystified
DESCRIPTION:
This comprehensive overview of 61850 standard/protocol focuses on implementation, taking the reader through the development and concepts of IEC 61850. This includes the initial work by General Motors (Manufacturing Automation Protocol), EPRI (UCA 1.0 and UCA 2.0), IEEE (TR 1550), and IEC 61850. The standard is a significant piece of many IIoT (industrial internet of things) strategies for substation communication.
The book discusses and documents the basic research and theory of guaranteed multicast done for IEC 61850 GOOSE as well as the shift from variable technology to object oriented technology. The layering principles, as well as the structure, of IEC 61850 are discussed in detail as well as the actual communication profiles that have been created to support substation/distribution automation, distributed energy resources, and synchrophasors. Real applications will be discussed as well as the future direction of the standard. The author is a technical co-editor of IEC 61850 standard and a leader in US implementations, having been involved with the technology from its inception.
CONTENTS:
Introduction; What Makes IEC 61850 Different; History of IEC 61850; The Need for Speed: Networking versus Hardwire; Harmonizing IEC 61850 and IEEE TR1550; Structure of the IEC 61850 Standard; Read Before Proceeding: Use of UML in this Book; Integration Patterns; Basic IEC 61850; IEC 61850-7-2 and IEC 61850-7-3; Engineering; Client and Server Communications; Impact of Cybersecurity.
