It has been demonstrated that the frequent energy measurements from smart meters could pose a risk to individual privacy. Although various solutions have been proposed, this remains an open research challenge. This proposed research endeavour aims to enhance user privacy by introducing a novel element into the smart grid architecture. The Trustworthy Remote Entity (TRE) is a computational and c...

Smart grids allow automated meter readings and facilitate two-way communications between the smart meters and utility control centers. As the smart grid becomes more intelligent, it becomes increasingly vulnerable to cyberattacks. Smart grid security mainly focuses on mutual authentication and key management techniques. An impeding factor in grid security is the memory and processing constraint...

In late 2010 , a request was made by members of the public to the Monterey County Board of Supervisors (the Board) to ban the use of smart meters in Monterey County due to concerns about potential adverse health effects. On January I Ph, 2011 , the Board requested that the Monterey County Health Department review the literature and produce a report summarizing scientific findings related to sma...

This paper presents a new privacy-preserving smart metering system. Our scheme is private under the differential privacy model and therefore provides strong and provable guarantees. With our scheme, an (electricity) supplier can periodically collect data from smart meters and derive aggregated statistics without learning anything about the activities of individual households. For example, a sup...

This paper presents a new privacy-preserving smart metering system. Our scheme is private under the differential privacy model and therefore provides strong and provable guarantees. With our scheme, an (electricity) supplier can periodically collect data from smart meters and derive aggregated statistics while learning only limited information about the activities of individual households. For ...

This paper gives an overview of the security issues regarding power grids. It is targeted to use case scenarios, namely smart metering, and home gateway for applications like electric cars and home multimedia contents distribution over the power grid. The scenarios are described, the architectural model of the smart power grid is described at a high level, the actors and data types are identifi...

This paper describes a mesh networking based solution on Routing Protocol for Low power and Lossy network to realize Automated Metering Infrastructure (AMI) network communication. Automated Metering Infrastructure is expected to facilitate the transport of meter readings from meters to the utility provider and control information in the other direction. The smart meters send the meter data to t...

The next-generation energy network, the so-called smart grid (SG), promises a tremendous increase in efficiency, safety and flexibility of managing the electricity grid as compared to the legacy energy network. This is needed today more than ever as the global energy consumption is growing at an unprecedented rate, and renewable energy sources have to be seamlessly integrated into the grid to a...

The Smart Grid (SG) is the technological development that incorporates digital technologies and advanced communication methods to determine respond variations in electricity consumption order revolutionize power distribution, transmission, generation. In conventional electrical grid, customers remain unaware their energy usage patterns not only results loss but also money. consumers’ standards ...

Electricity is one of the fundamental necessities of human beings, which is commonly used for domestic, industrial and agricultural purposes. There lots of problem in distribution and metering. The wireless meter promise fast and accurate billing system. The traditional electro-mechanical meters, still widely used today are prone to drift over temperature and time as a result of mechanical natu...
