Abstract
Trading of distributed energy resources is an important aspect to fully achieve energy efficiency. Modern microgrids and consumer/prosumer energy transactions are such kind of enablers. The blockchain has been proposed as a solution to aid microgrid applications with the support of a decentralized trading model, operations processing, computation and storage. However, microgrids trading is still vulnerable to so-called False Data Injection (FDI) attacks, that is the attempt by malicious participating nodes to distribute false measurements to the peers to gain personal advantages. In this paper, we propose an enhanced blockchain mechanism to counteract possible FDI attacks by means of mobile software agents to control and detect malicious activities of sellers nodes.
