  • TRANSAX: A Blockchain-based Decentralized Forward-Trading Energy Exchange for Transactive Microgrids
    2019
    Co-Authors: Laszka Aro, Eisele Sco, Dubey Abhishek, Karsai Gabo, Kvaternik Karla
    Abstract:

    Power grids are undergoing major changes due to rapid growth in renewable energy and improvements in battery technology. Prompted by the increasing complexity of power systems, decentralized IoT solutions are emerging, which arrange local communities into transactive microgrids. The core functionality of these solutions is to provide mechanisms for matching producers with consumers while ensuring system safety. However, there are multiple Challenges that these solutions still face: Privacy, trust, and resilience. The Privacy Challenge arises because the time series of production and consumption data for each participant is sensitive and may be used to infer personal information. Trust is an issue because a producer or consumer can renege on the promised energy transfer. Providing resilience is challenging due to the possibility of failures in the infrastructure that is required to support these market based solutions. In this paper, we develop a rigorous solution for transactive microgrids that addresses all three Challenges by providing an innovative combination of MILP solvers, smart contracts, and publish-subscribe middleware within a framework of a novel distributed application platform, called Resilient Information Architecture Platform for Smart Grid. Towards this purpose, we describe the key architectural concepts, including fault tolerance, and show the trade-off between market efficiency and resource requirements.Comment: Published in the proceedings of the 24th IEEE International Conference on Parallel and Distributed Systems (IEEE ICPADS 2018

  • A Privacy Challenge to longitudinal study methods: patient-derived codes
    Australian and New Zealand Journal of Public Health, 2006
    Co-Authors: Fiona J. Clay, Joan Ozanne-smith, Wendy L. Watson, Melinda Congiu, Barbara Ellen Fox
    Abstract:

    Recent changes to Privacy legislation in Australia have resulted in more stringent requirements with respect to maintaining the confidentiality of patient health information. We describe a method employed to de-identify health information collected in a longitudinal study using codes. Using a patient-derived code that did not change during the life of the study follow-up resulted in errors in a quarter of the follow-up surveys. This may introduce bias that could compromise the validity of the study. Alternative methods of coding may alleviate some of these issues. However, removal of some of the constraints imposed by interpretations of Privacy legislation may be the best way forward.
