Description

Electric utilities have accelerated their deployment of smart meters to millions of homes across the United States with help from the Department of Energy's Smart Grid Investment Grant program.

As the meters multiply, so do issues concerning the privacy and security of the data collected by the new technology.

This Advanced Metering Infrastructure (AMI) promises to increase energy efficiency, bolster electric power grid reliability, and facilitate demand response, among other benefits.

However, to fulfill these ends, smart meters must record near-real time data on consumer electricity usage and transmit the data to utilities over great distances via communications networks that serve the smart grid.

This book examines the privacy and cybersecurity considerations of smart meters and the smart grid.
