This is the accepted version of the published item. The published version can be viewed at https://ieeexplore.ieee.org/document/8972018The ability for the smart microgrid to allow for the independent generation and distribution of electrical energy makes it an attractive solution towards enabling universal access to electricity within developing economies. Distributed Ledger Technologies (DLTs) are being considered as an enabling technology for the secure energy trade market however the high processing, energy and data exchange requirements may make them unsuitable for the Industrial Internet of Things technologies used in the implementation of the microgrid and the limited connectivity infrastructure in developing technologies. This work serves to assess the suitability of DLTs for IIoT edge node operation and as a solution for the microgrid energy market by considering node transaction times, operating temperature, power consumption, processor and memory usage, in addition to mining effort and end user costs.enBlockchainDistributed Ledger TechnologyIndustry 4.0Industrial Internet of ThingPerformance TestingPerformance TestingRaspberry PiSmart MicrogridSmart ContractsSecurityConference PresentationLedwaba, L., Hancke, G., Isaac, S.
