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 …


Cyber Security Evaluation Of Smart Electric Meters, Harsh Kumar May 2020

Cyber Security Evaluation Of Smart Electric Meters, Harsh Kumar

Theses and Dissertations

In this thesis, effect of intermediate network systems on power usage data collection from Smart Electric Meter in Smart Grid was evaluated. Security integrity of remote data collection from GE’s Power Quality Smart Electric Meter EPM 6100 and EPM 7000 under cyber-attacks were evaluated. Experimental security evaluations of Smart Electric Meters were conducted to understand their operation under cyber-attacks. Integrity of data communication between the GE’s smart meters and remote monitoring computer was evaluated under different types of cyber security attacks. Performance comparison was done for security integrity of EPM 6100 and EPM 7000 power quality meter under various cyber-attacks.
