Design of Consumer Participative Device for Smart Grid Initiative

Smart, smarter, smartest... the consumer meets the smart electrical grid

Noncooperative Games for Autonomous Consumer Load Balancing over Smart Grid

Traditionally, most consumers of electricity pay for their consumptions according to a fixed rate. With the advancement of Smart Grid technologies, large-scale implementation of variable-rate metering becomes more practical. As a result, consumers will be able to control their electricity consumption in an automated fashion, where one possible scheme is to have each individual maximize its own ...

Hardware Security for Device Authentication in the Smart Grid

Secure communication between devices is a key aspect of smart grid security. In the future smart home environment, various smart devices, appliances and energy management systems will communicate with each other via the home network. In order to achieve mutual authentication, each device will have a private cryptographic key which must be protected against theft or misuse. Current mechanisms fo...

Scalable Password-Changing Protocol for Smart Grid Device Authentication

In smart grid, the scale of pole devices that monitor the health of power lines is already large, and with the upgrade of the smart grid, the number of these resource-constrained devices is further increasing. These devices are easy targets to security attacks due to wireless access communication and due to weak passwords used to access and read telemetric data by the pole maintenance personnel...
