Modern electric power networks are progressively in demand for advanced protection systems due to the changing structures of systems. In distribution systems, emerging scenarios need some compelling efforts. last few decades, a lot innovations such as Advanced Metering Infrastructure (AMI) have made incursions into sector. The development AMI has fostered integration smart meter microgrids and ...

In a classic example of a smart electrical metering application, the same type of wireless networks can be used to build an Advanced Metering Infrastructure (AMI) to continuously monitor the power consumption, control the functionality of the meters, as well as limit the end-user consumption or report about tampering with the meters in real-time. Such capabilities are important for enabling the...

Advanced metering infrastructure (AMI) refers to the electricity service infrastructure between electricity consumers and suppliers and is technically essential for the realization of a smart grid environment. To implement AMI, various communications technologies are being used based on the application environment according to the utility. However, using a single communications method can give ...

The recently emerging Advanced Metering Infrastructure (AMI) is envisioned to be one of the most prominent features of the smart grid. Security, especially authentication, is crucial for the success of large-scale AMI deployment. Unfortunately, AMI’s natural requirements — efficiency, scalability, fault-diagnoses and reliability — cannot be fully satisfied by existing authentication schemes: pe...
