Smart Micro-Grid Systems Security and Privacy

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.

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.

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.

Covers Smart Micro-Grids for Resource Constrained Environments which is neglected in existing books Provides Reference Models for Attacks Smart Grids and Micro-grids Unique emphasis on attack models and countermeasures in smart grids, smart micro-grids, and resource constrained smart micro-grids from a modelling perspective Appropriate for Experts/Researchers/Novices working in or wanting to enter the field of cyber-physical systems security and especially smart grid/micro-grid security
