Security and reliability are important issues in industrial remote monitoring systems. Traditional remote monitoring systems, due to their centralized structure and challenges, could not fully guarantee the security and non-manipulation of monitored data. Blockchain technology with its exclusive features in creating distributed and decentralized networks is a suitable solution for secure power plants remote monitoring. Hyperledger Fabric blockchain (HFB) as a permissioned blockchain has capabilities that can secure power plants remote monitoring. This paper describes HFB, its architecture and most prominent implementation aspects. In this study, we present a secure power plant remote monitoring platform based on HFB technology. The most critical aspects for implementation of presented HFB- based platform such as transaction size, block size, throughput of transactions per second, latency, scale and number of nodes in the network have been discussed.
