Selecting Privacy Solutions to Prioritise Control in Smart Metering Systems
نویسندگان
چکیده
The introduction of the Smart Grid brings with it several benefits to society, because its bi-directional communication allows both users and utilities to have better control over energy usage. However, it also has some privacy issues with respect to the privacy of the customers when analysing their consumption data. In this paper we review the main privacy-preserving techniques that have been proposed and compare their efficiency, to accurately select the most appropriate ones for undertaking control operations. Both privacy and performance are essential for the rapid adoption of Smart Grid technologies.

Privacy Strategies in Smart Metering
This paper discusses the threat to privacy that smart meters pose and offers solutions that protect user privacy without diminishing the provider’s capabilities to use the data for legitimate purposes. Two use cases are considered: collection of aggregated real-time data by the provider for optimization, and monthly billing of customers. For the first, we present various approaches before propo...
متن کاملA Secure and Private Billing Protocol for Smart Metering
Traditional utility metering is to be replaced by smart metering. Smart metering enables very fine grained utility consumption measurements. These fine grained measurements raise privacy concerns due to the lifestyle information which can be inferred from the precise time at which utilities were consumed. This paper outlines two privacy respecting time of use billing protocols for smart meterin...
