Smart electricity meters have been replacing conventional meters worldwide, enabling automated collection of fine-grained (every 15 minutes or hourly) consumption data. A variety of smart meter analytics algorithms and applications have been proposed, mainly in the smart grid literature, but the focus thus far has been on what can be done with the data rather than how to do it efficiently. In t...

The rapid development and expansion of the Internet Things (IoT) paradigm has drastically increased collection exchange data between sensors systems, a phenomenon that raises serious privacy concerns in some domains. In particular, smart meters (SMs) share fine-grained electricity consumption households with utility providers can potentially violate users’ as sensitive information is leaked thr...

In this paper we outline our results for validating the precision of the internal power meters of smart-phones under different workloads. We compare its results with an external power meter. This is the first step towards creating customized energy models on the fly and towards optimizing battery efficiency using genetic program improvements. Our experimental results indicate that the internal ...

Smart meters (SM) with wireless capabilities are one of the most meaningful applications Internet Things. Standards like Zigbee have found a niche in transmitting data on energy usage to user and supplier wirelessly via these communication hubs. There still certain difficulties, notably delivering connectivity situated difficult-to-reach locations such as basements or deep indoors. To solve thi...

Over the past years, smart meters have been widely deployed in many countries. These devices replace conventional electrical meters and are able to provide measurements for time intervals of typically less than one hour and can send these to the utility. This technology provides utilities a large amount of data and the opportunity to use this data to improve the way they run the grid. We want t...
