Abstract The Advanced Metering Infrastructure (AMI), as a crucial subsystem in the smart grid, is responsible for measuring user electricity consumption and plays a vital role in communication between providers and consumers. However, with the advancement of information and communication technology, new security and privacy challenges have emerged for AMI. To address these challenges and enhance the security and privacy of user data in the smart grid, a Hierarchical Privacy Protection Model in Advanced Metering Infrastructure based on Cloud and Fog Assistance (HPPM-AMICFA) is proposed in this paper. The proposed model integrates cloud and fog computing… More >

Abstract Advanced Metering Infrastructure (AMI) is the metering network of the smart grid that enables bidirectional communications between each consumer’s premises and the provider’s control center. The massive amount of data collected supports the real-time decision-making required for diverse applications. The communication infrastructure relies on different network types, including the Internet. This makes the infrastructure vulnerable to various attacks, which could compromise security or have devastating effects. However, traditional machine learning solutions cannot adapt to the increasing complexity and diversity of attacks. The objective of this paper is to develop an Anomaly Detection System (ADS) based… More >

Abstract Recently, the radical digital transformation has deeply affected the traditional electricity grid and transformed it into an intelligent network (smart grid). This mutation is based on the progressive development of advanced technologies: advanced metering infrastructure (AMI) and smart meter which play a crucial role in the development of smart grid. AMI technologies have a promising potential in terms of improvement in energy efficiency, better demand management, and reduction in electricity costs. However the possibility of hacking smart meters and electricity theft is still among the most significant challenges facing electricity companies. In this regard, we… More >
