Information-theoretic privacy in smart metering systems using cascaded rechargeable batteries

YH Liu, SH Lee, A Khisti - IEEE Signal Processing Letters, 2017 - ieeexplore.ieee.org
A rechargeable battery may alleviate the issue of privacy loss in a smart metering system by
distorting a household's load profile. However, existing studies involve a single …

Information-theoretic privacy for smart metering systems with a rechargeable battery

S Li, A Khisti, A Mahajan - IEEE Transactions on Information …, 2018 - ieeexplore.ieee.org

Privacy-optimal strategies for smart metering systems with a rechargeable battery

S Li, A Khisti, A Mahajan - 2016 American Control Conference …, 2016 - ieeexplore.ieee.org
In smart grids, a smart meter communicates fine-grained information about a user's energy
demand to the utility provider. A user's energy demand can be used to infer its private …

On privacy in smart metering systems with periodically time-varying input distribution

Y Liu, A Khisti, A Mahajan - 2017 IEEE Global Conference on …, 2017 - ieeexplore.ieee.org
We consider a setup where a rechargeable battery is used to partially mask the load profile
of a user from the utility provider in a smart-metered electrical system. Using mutual …

Smart meter privacy with an energy harvesting device and instantaneous power constraints

G Giaconi, D Gündüz, HV Poor - 2015 IEEE International …, 2015 - ieeexplore.ieee.org
A smart meter (SM) periodically measures end-user electricity consumption and reports it to
a utility provider (UP). Despite the advantages of SMs, their use leads to serious concerns …

Smart meter privacy for multiple users in the presence of an alternative energy source

J Gomez-Vilardebo, D Gündüz - IEEE Transactions on …, 2014 - ieeexplore.ieee.org
Smart meters (SMs) measure and report users' energy consumption to the utility provider
(UP) in almost real-time, providing a much more detailed depiction of the consumer's energy …
