Intelligent Buildings in Smart Grids: A Survey on Security and Privacy Issues Related to Energy Management

During the last decade, smart grid (SG) concept has started to become a reality, mainly thanks technical progress achieved in telecommunications, informatics and power electronics, among other domains, leading an evolution of traditional electrical into intelligent one. Nowadays, SG can be seen as system systems that include cyber physical parts from different technologies interact with each other. In this context, buildings (IBs) constitute paradigm which such are able guarantee comfort residents while ensuring appropriate tradeoff energy production consumption by means management (EMS). These interconnected EMSs remain objective potential cyber-attacks, is major concern. Therefore, paper conducts survey, multidisciplinary point view, some main security privacy issues related IBs part SG, including overview EMS, meters, communication networks employed connect overall SG. Future research directions towards enhancement both human perspectives also provided.
