Smart Micro-Grid Systems Security and Privacy

<p></p><p>This book is centered on Smart grids and micro-grids as a cost-effective method of ensuring fair and equitable access to power in urban areas. It also considers scenarios where deploying smart grids can be both cost-prohibitively expensive and logistically challenging. Deploying smart microgrids instead offers a reliable power solution but as is the case in smart grids a key issue is guaranteeing usability trust and reliability while protecting against energy theft.</p><p> This book considers aspects such as state estimation capacity planning demand forecasting price signals and demand management with respect to energy theft. Straight-forward approaches to provoking energy theft on smart grids and micro-grids include mis-recordings power consumption/generation information and exposures of personally identifiable information or sensitive information. Attack models based on mis-recorded generation and/or consumption data and exposure of personally identifiable information are also studied. In each case countermeasures are proposed to circumvent the power theft attacks raised.</p><p> Researchers in Smart Micro-grids security cyber-physical systems and critical infrastructure will want to purchase this book as a reference. Professionals Researchers Academics and students working in security general and Security of Critical Infrastructure Privacy and Data Sharing will also want to purchase this book as a reference.</p><br><p></p>
