Smart Metering Communication Protocols And Performance Under Cyber Security Vulnerabilities, Oscar A. Alvarez Dec 2021

Smart Metering Communication Protocols And Performance Under Cyber Security Vulnerabilities, Oscar A. Alvarez

Theses and Dissertations

The communication process is the key that characterizes the modern concept of smart grid, a new technology that introduced a “two-way communication” in energy measurement systems and can be best represented through the smart meters. Hence, the goal of smart metering communication is to ensure a secure and reliable transmission of information that can only be accessed by end users and energy supplying companies. With the goal of improving the information security in smart energy grids, the research presented in this work focused on studying different advanced metering infrastructure communication protocols and, it showcases a series of experiments performed on …
