The demand is further augmented by increased sales of electric vehicles, smart cities, smart transportation, etc. This growing dependence underscores the critical necessity for a robust smart energy measurement and management system to ensure a continuous and efficient power supply. However, implementing such a system presents a set of challenges, particularly concerning the transparency, security, and trustworthiness of data storage and retrieval. Blockchain technology offers an innovative solution in the form of a distributed ledger, which guarantees secure and transparent transaction storage and retrieval. This research introduces a blockchain-based system, utilising Hyperledger Fabric and smart contracts, designed for the secure storage and retrieval of consumers\u2019 energy consumption data. Finally, a user-friendly web portal was designed and developed using the node.js framework, offering an accessible and intuitive interface to monitor and manage energy consumption effectively.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/s23198086","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2023,9,26]],"date-time":"2023-09-26T08:58:17Z","timestamp":1695718697000},"page":"8086","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":9,"title":["BSEMS\u2014A Blockchain-Based Smart Energy Measurement System"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"23","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-4308-967X","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Manmeet","family":"Singh","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Information Technology and Engineering, Baba Ghulam Shah Badshah University, Rajouri 185234, India"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-3496-8856","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Suhaib","family":"Ahmed","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Computer Science and Engineering, Chitkara University Institute of Engineering and Technology, Chitkara University, Punjab 140401, India"}]},{"given":"Sparsh","family":"Sharma","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Computer Science & Engineering, National Institute of Technology Srinagar, Jammu and Kashmir 190006, India"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-1118-9569","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Saurabh","family":"Singh","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"AI and Big Data, Woosong University, Daejeon 34606, Republic of Korea"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-1110-4011","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Byungun","family":"Yoon","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Industrial & Systems Engineering, Dongguk University, Seoul 04620, Republic of Korea"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2023,9,26]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"1973","DOI":"10.1016\/j.egyr.2020.07.020","article-title":"A critical review of comparative global historical energy consumption and future demand: The story told so far","volume":"6","author":"Ahmad","year":"2020","journal-title":"Energy Rep."},{"key":"ref_2","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"15399","DOI":"10.1016\/j.egyr.2022.11.120","article-title":"Research on collaborative innovation of key common technologies in new energy vehicle industry based on digital twin technology","volume":"8","author":"Chen","year":"2022","journal-title":"Energy Rep."},{"key":"ref_3","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","unstructured":"Ahsan, U., and Bais, A.
