(KISS). KISS is also exploring the application of AI-enabled blockchain
smart contracts to increase the automation, flexibility, security, and speed
of complex grid edge energy transactions. KISS may help give impetus to
more distributed autonomous energy organizations and modernize our
energy infrastructure. Certainty, the increases in grid data speeds, size,
and complexity of energy transactions requires a more flexible and secure
power grid. To help overcome these challenges, KISS provides a unique
value proposition with its potential to help both optimize and secure these
critical data sets from emerging cyber threats.
Blockchain’s digital ledger and cryptographically signed transaction data
may help to increase the trustworthiness and integrity of complex energy
transactions. Combined with machine learning and AI-enabled energy-
delivery systems, DAEO may also have more control and flexibility in auto-
mating, monitoring, and auditing complex energy exchanges. Blockchain
smart contracts may also provide a real-time security response to unauthor-
ized attempts to change critical EDS data, configurations, applications, and
network appliance and sensor infrastructures. Autonomous detection of data
anomalies could help improve cyber forensics and recovery from a cyber-
attack by providing a unified timeline for incident analysis. Blockchain could
also provide a layer of increased security for a more distributed trading plat-
form that uses smart contracts for the automated trading and settlement of
contracts between peers, consumers, and prosumers.
