While electricity demand is generally increasing, stably controlling supply is becoming a serious challenge because renewable energies are becoming popular and often their productions are dependent on the weather. The 'demand response' programs can be used to complement the problems of renewable energies, and therefore their role is becoming increasingly important. This study provides an analysis of a demand response pilot that was conducted in Korea. The study first focused on questionnaire surveys and in-depth interviews, and the data was used to perform a Technology Acceptance Model (TAM) analysis. The goal of the pilot was to have the residential users reduce their power consumptions when an energy reduction mission is issued during peak load hours. The experimental subjects consisted of two groups with different characteristics. Subjects in group A obtained smart meters as an optional function of IoT platform service provided by a mobile service company, and received a charge deduction as their compensation. Subjects in group B either voluntarily purchased smart meters as individuals or received them by participating in an energy self-sufficient village program that was run by a local government, and were entitled to a donation as their compensation. With the analysis, group A was found to fit the extended technology acceptance model that includes perceived playfulness in addition to perceived ease of use and perceived usefulness. On the contrary, group B failed to fit the model well, but perceived usefulness was found to be relatively more important compared to group A. The results indicate that the residential energy groups' behavior changes are dependent on each group's characteristics, and group-specific DR design should be considered to improve the effectiveness of DR.

AMI (Advanced Metering Infrastructure)는 스마트 그리드에서 핵심 시스템이며, 기술 자체가 어렵지 않기 때문에 실현 가능성이 가장 높은 분야라고 할 수 있다. 소비자와 공급자 사이에서 단순한 전기 소비 측정에 그치는 것이 아니라 측정한 정보의 저장과 교환이 실시간으로 이루어지는 스마트 그리드 환경에서 원격으로 실시간 전력 계측기인 스마트 미터의 필요성이 증대되고 있다. 이에 따라 본 논문에서는 스마트 미터를 기존 플러그의 디자인으로 제작하여 어느 기기에도 적용이 가능한 형태인 스마트 플러그의 연구와 성능을 검토한다.

Smart grid that supports efficient energy production and management is used in various fields and industries. However, because of the environment in which services are provided through open networks, it is essential to resolve trust issues regarding security vulnerabilities and privacy preservation. In particular, the identification information of smart meter is managed by a centralized server, which makes it vulnerable to security attacks such as device stolen, data forgery, alteration, and deletion. To solve these problems, this paper proposes a blockchain based authentication protocol for a smart meter. The proposed scheme issues an unique decentralized identifiers (DIDs) for individual smart meter through blockchain and utilizes a random values based on physical unclonable function (PUF) to strengthen the integrity and reliability of data. In addition, we analyze the security of the proposed scheme using informal security analysis and AVISPA simulation, and show the efficiency of the proposed scheme by comparing with related work.

스마트그리드는 기존의 전력 생산, 운반, 소비의 과정에 정보통신 기술을 접목하여 에너지 절감 및 전기 품질 향상 등을 제공하는 차세대 전력망으로써 스마트 미터 중심의 AMI, 에너지 관리 시스템, 전기 자동차 및 충전소, 재생에너지, 양방향 정보통신 기술, 배전 자동화 시스템 등으로 구성된다. 이중 미터기, 수용가 전력기기, 근거리 통신기술, 데이터 관리 시스템 등은 "제주도 실증단지구축"사업의 핵심 요소로써, 국내 기업들의 활발한 연구가 이루어지고 있다. 하지만 국내에서 연구되고 있는 스마트그리드 구축과 관련된 소프트웨어들은 외산 솔루션에 기반하고 있거나 자체개발을 통해 이루어지고 있어 기술 지원 부재 및 개발 소요 시간이 길다는 문제점을 가지고 있다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 이러한 문제점을 해결하기 위해 오픈 소스 소프트웨어 기반의 스마트그리드 통합시설관제시스템을 제안하고, 구축하도록 한다.

In the smart grid environment, there are various security threats. In particular, exposure of smart meter data can lead to serious privacy violation. In this paper, we propose a method for de-identification method of metering data. The proposed method is to de-identify the time data and the numeric data, respectively. Therefore, it can't analyze the pattern information from the metering data. In addition, there is an advantage that the query is available, such as the range of search in the database for statistical analysis.

As an important basic building block of the smart grid environment, smart meter provides real-time electricity consumption information to the utility. However, ensuring information security and privacy in the smart meter data aggregation process is a non-trivial task. Even though the secure data aggregation for the smart meter has been a lot of attention from both academic and industry researchers in recent years, most of these studies are not secure against internal attackers or cannot provide data integrity. Besides, their computation costs are not satisfactory because the bilinear pairing operation or the hash-to-point operation is performed at the smart meter system. Recently, blockchains or distributed ledgers are an emerging technology that has drawn considerable interest from energy supply firms, startups, technology developers, financial institutions, national governments and the academic community. In particular, blockchains are identified as having the potential to bring significant benefits and innovation for the electricity consumption network. This study suggests a distributed, privacy-preserving, and simple secure smart meter data aggregation system, backed up by Blockchain technology. Smart meter data are aggregated and verified by a hierarchical Merkle tree, in which the consensus protocol is supported by the practical Byzantine fault tolerance algorithm.
