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 fulfil 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.
