ENERGY EFFICIENT ADVANCED METERING INFRASTRUCTURE USING 3G NETWORK

Energy Theft in the Advanced Metering Infrastructure

Global energy generation and delivery systems are transitioning to a new computerized “smart grid”. One of the principle components of the smart grid is an advanced metering infrastructure (AMI). AMI replaces the analog meters with computerized systems that report usage over digital communication interfaces, e.g., phone lines. However, with this infrastructure comes new risk. In this paper, we ...

Advanced Metering Infrastructure Security Considerations

The purpose of this report is to provide utilities implementing Advanced Metering Infrastructure (AMI) with the knowledge necessary to secure that implementation appropriately. We intend that utilities use this report to guide their planning, procurement, roll-out, and assessment of the security of Advanced Metering Infrastructure. This report discusses threats to the AMI, the likely sources of...

Efficient and Fault-Diagnosable Authentication Scheme for Advanced Metering Infrastructure

The recently emerging Advanced Metering Infrastructure (AMI) is envisioned to be one of the most prominent features of the smart grid. Security, especially authentication, is crucial for the success of large-scale AMI deployment. Unfortunately, AMI’s natural requirements — efficiency, scalability, fault-diagnoses and reliability — cannot be fully satisfied by existing authentication schemes: pe...

Advanced Metering Infrastructure Analytics -A Case Study

Advanced Metering Infrastructure (AMI) is the basic building block for development of Smart Grid in Distribution System. The main purpose of AMI is to enable two way communication between consumer and Smart Grid Control Center of Utility which involves remote monitoring & control of energy consumption as well as other parameters in real time. Meter data analytics play a vital role in AMI system...
