摘要
Blockchain is a distributed database that is shared among the nodes of a computer network.Blocks have certain storage capacity and,when filled,they are closed,and linked to the previously filled block,forming a chain.Blockchains are typically managed by a peer-to-peer method where nodes collectively adhere to a consensus algorithm protocol to add and validate new transaction blocks.The author makes a review of Blockchain applications in different areas,considerable challenges,her own experience with Blockchain in Smart Grid and other researchers`contributions.The paper presents the first stage of project“Smart Grid for Sustainable Management of Environmental Resources Usage”-describing Managed Objects classes for selected functional areas of Blockchain life cycle:Configuration,Security,and Performance.The author uses the life cycle of telecommunication networks as a reference.The models are designed for user interface developers,university professors,and students.
