A Secured Charging System for Electric Vehicles Using Adaptive Block Chain Methodology

With the growing adoption of Electric Vehicles (EVs) and the essential for secure and consistent charging infrastructure, ensuring the integrity and privacy of charging transactions becomes paramount. The proposed system leverages the decentralized nature of block chain technology and adapts it to enhance the security and efficiency of EV charging operations. The adaptive block chain methodology addresses key challenges faced in EV charging systems such as transaction security, data privacy and scalability. The proposed system eliminates the necessity for a dominant authority, reducing the risk of single points of failure and unauthorized access. Furthermore, the adaptive block chain methodology addresses scalability challenges by employing consensus protocols optimized for EV charging systems. To enhance privacy, the system incorporates adaptive privacy mechanisms that allow users to control the level of information disclosure. Users can selectively share transaction details while keeping sensitive data confidential, preserving their privacy preferences. By dynamically adjusting the consensus mechanism based on network conditions and transaction volumes, the system ensures efficient transaction processing and prevents congestion, enabling seamless scalability as the number of EVs and charging stations grows. Simulation outcomes prove the efficacy of the proposed system in providing secure and reliable EV charging.

I. Introduction

Block chain is an emerging technology that makes it possible for unreliable transactions without the use of intermediaries. As a result, blockchains are capable of promoting Business-to-Business (B2B), Customer-to-Customer (C2C) and Business-to-Customer (B2C) transactions. It additionally decreases expenses and hazards associated with reliance on a third party, yet it also changes transactions and stimulates fresh models of business [1], [2]. Blockchains allow consumers to dynamically contribute in energy market, specifically as an energy provider and consumer. EVs are likely to be among the largest consumers of renewable energy in the coming years. In accordance with International Energy Agency (IEA) projections, over 121 million EVs are expected to be on the road by 2035. [3]. Numerous governments are planning for the future of electricity through enabling entrepreneurs to establish additional charging stations in public spaces in order to meet the projected massive demand for energy and provide simple access to charging stations [4]. In an ideal scenario, EV users ought to be permitted to effortlessly exchange energy by choosing the best suitable supplier for their subsequent charging procedure. Due to the transparency provided by blockchains, that commercial transactions as Peer-to-Peer (P2P) energy [5] are conceivable.
