Abstract

In this chapter, the area of smart grid and privacy preservation schemes are discussed and compared in detail. Existing power grids generally carry energy from central locations to a large cluster of customers, such as a housing estate or an apartment block. Smart grid uses two-way flow using energy and information to increase automation and to better distribute energy flow throughout the grid. Smart grid utilizes modern technologies to deliver energy efficiently, and to respond to events within the grid, such as a power line failure (Gungor and Hancke, IEEE Trans Ind Electron 57(10):3357–3564, 2010, [1]).
