Abstract

Abstract:

As the next generation of power grid, smart grid has many advantages, such as high controllability, high energy utilization rate and self-healing. Smart grid brings great conveniences to people’s lives. Many countries and areas start to build their smart grid facilities. At the same time, the security and privacy problems of smart grid also are exposed and become the important obstacles for further development of smart grid. Smart grid is the intelligent version of traditional grid. In order to realize intelligent, plenty of new technologies are introduced into smart grid. But due to the lack of mature research, there are many potential secure hazards in these new technologies which become the breaches for attackers attacking the smart grid. This paper introduces three technologies in smart grid including smart metering, vehicle-to-grid and smart grid cloud, analyzes the security problems in them, and also proposes some problems needed to be resolved in the future.

Key words: smart grid, privacy preserving, advanced metering infrastructure, cloud computing
