It is a key task in smart grid to send the readings of smart meters to an access point (AP) in a wireless manner. The requirements of scalability, realtimeness and security make the wireless meter reading highly challenging. On assuming that the number of smart meters is large and the data burst is sparse, i.e., only a small fraction of the smart meters are reporting their power loads at the same...
The security and privacy of future smart grid and smart metering networks is important to their rollout and eventual acceptance by the public: research in this area is ongoing and smart meter users will need to be reassured that their data is secure. This paper describes a method for securely anonymizing frequent (for example, every few minutes) electrical metering data sent by a smart meter. Although...
Today's Smart Grid initiatives propose highly decentralized power supplies with an increased number of providers utilizing renewable energy resources. This idea is driven by the imminent requirement for improved sustainability of power industries and also by the legislative demand for more competitive energy market structures. Due to these intentions the number of regional market participants will...
Demand Response (DR) refers to actions taken by the utility to respond to a shortage of supply for a short duration of time in the future. DR is one of the enablers of the Smart Grid paradigm as it promotes interaction and responsiveness of the customers and changes the grid from a vertically integrated structure to one that is affected by the behavior of the demand side. In Principle, it is possible...
Recognizing the value of an advanced metering infrastructure (AMI), utilities worldwide are deploying millions of smart meters. To better justify AMI investment, researchers have recognized the urgency to utilize the full potential of AMI to improve the quality of distribution management system (DMS) applications. However, the integration of AMI and DMS is a challenge as it entails different communication...
