A major part in the efforts to increase energy efficiency is the establishment of a smart energy grid. This is supposed to optimize power distribution and facilitate the delivery of fluctuating renewable energy. For these reasons, governments in the EU and US are pressing ahead with legislation for the introduction of smart meters into every household. The precise consumption measurements taken...

Over recent years there have been several initiatives around the world that aim to roll out smart metering systems, especially within North America and member states of the European Union. Smart metering systems, giving essential conditions for smart grids in the energy sector, can offer services aimed at achieving many different goals beyond the main task of metering electricity consumption of...

In this paper, we present the design of Greystar, an innovative defense system for combating the growing SMS spam traffic in cellular networks. By exploiting the fact that most SMS spammers select targets randomly from the finite phone number space, Greystar monitors phone numbers from the grey phone space (which are associated with data only devices like laptop data cards and machine-to-machin...

Intelligent information systems are necessary to improve power grid operations. The current trend reveals the deployment of smart meter at consumer sites as the energy provider’s starting point to grid modernisation. Smart meters are considered as a core element in most of the smart grid projects. The smart metering system is designed to collect and transmit detailed consumption data. Detailed ...

Smart meters are increasingly used worldwide. Smart meters are the advanced meters capable of measuring energy consumption at a fine-grained time interval, e.g., every 15 minutes. Smart meter data are typically bundled with social economic data in analytics, such as meter geographic locations, weather conditions and user information, which makes the data sets very sizable and the analytics comp...

Incomplete and inaccurate information of network topology line parameters affects state monitoring, analysis, control active distribution networks. To solve this issue, article proposes a method for identifying using the measurements obtained from smart meters (SMs) microphasor measurement units ( $\mu $ PMUs) installed at v...

In smart grids, homes are equipped with meters (SMs) to monitor electricity consumption and report fine-grained readings electric utility companies for billing energy management. However, malicious consumers tamper their SMs low reduce bills. This problem, known as fraud, causes tremendous financial losses worldwide threatens the power grid’s stability. To detect several methods have been propo...
