Renewable energy and smart grid become the focus of attention of industry. The smart grid is an intelligent system which maximizes the efficiency of energy and it needs to monitor the amount of power generation and power consumption continuously. Remote Monitoring System(RMS) is very useful for monitoring the power generation and consumption, but mostly they are implemented on the wire communication. In this paper, we propose a wireless sensor network based remote power monitoring system. And as an application, a new anti-islanding method with the proposed RMS is presented. An experimental micro grid system is implemented to verify the proposed RMS and anti-islanding method.

Energy Management System(EMS) of Microgrid(MG) collects and analyzes data from devices in the microgrid to provide information to operators, users and other systems. In the middle of the process, it is required to securely provide information through both wired and wireless communication networks. In this paper, we design and implement a module that provides encryption and decryption, key management, key distribution, and message authentication functions, thus enabling the development of a system which is safe from the exposure and modulation of data potentially occurrable during data transmission between RTU(Remote Terminal Unit) and EMS. Our method can increase the efficiency of connection and key management for RTU by connecting a virtual device(VD) to RTU.

There is a growing interest in "smart grid" technology, especially after the government recently announced "low-carbon green-growth industry" project. A smart grid uses "smart meters", which can be deployed in any power-consuming places like homes and factories. It has been shown that smart meters have several security weaknesses. There is, however, no protection profile available for smart meters, which means that safety with using them is not guaranteed at all. This paper analyzes vulnerabilities of smart meters and the relevant attack methods, thereby deriving the security functions and requirements for smart meters. Finally, we propose a protection profile based on Common Criterion v3.l for smart meters.

With the evolution of technology, cyber physical systems (CPSs) are being upgraded, and new types of cyber attacks are being discovered accordingly. There are many forms of cyber attack, and all cyber attacks are made to manipulate the target systems. A representative system among cyber physical systems is a cyber physical power system (CPPS), that is, a smart grid. Smart grid is a new type of power system that provides reliable, safe, and efficient energy transmission and distribution. In this paper, specific types of cyber attacks well known as false data injection attacks targeting state estimation and energy distribution of smart grid, and protection strategies for defense of these attacks and dynamic monitoring for detection are described.

This paper proposes an Energy Theft Traceback Protocol(ETTP) based on Logging and Marking that can trace Energy Theft back in Smart Grid Environment. The ETTP consists of the following three phases. First, it classifies Energy Theft Type into Measurement Rejection and Data Fabrication by generating an Energy Theft Tree. Second, it detects an Energy Theft by using the Energy Theft Tree. Finally, it trace an Energy Theft back by using the Logging Table of a Router and the Marking Information of a Packet. The result of its simulation shows that the Detection Ratio of Energy Theft is estimated at 92% and the Success Ratio of Energy Theft Traceback at 93%. Therefore, the ETTP not only reduces such risk factors as Forgery and Tampering about Billing information but also provides safe and reliable Smart Grid environment.

Smart grid can two-way communication using ICT(Information & Communication Technology). Also, smart grid can supply to dynamic power that grafted to electric vehicle can activate to electric vehicle charging infrastructure and used to storage battery of home. Storage battery of home can resale to power provider. These electric vehicle charging infrastructure locate fixed on home, apartment, building, etc charging infrastructure that used fluid on user. If don't authentication for user of fluid user use to charging infrastructure, electric charging service can occurred to illegal use, electric charges and leakgage of electric information. In this paper, we propose smartcard and dynamic ID based user authentication scheme for used secure to electric vehicle service in smart grid environment.

The existing smart grid device authentication system is concentrated on DCU, meter reading FEP and MDMS, and the authentication system for smart meters is not established. Although some cryptographic chips have been developed at present, it is difficult to complete the PKI authentication scheme because it is at the low level of simple encryption. Unlike existing power grids, smart grids are based on open two-way communication, increasing the risk of accidents as information security vulnerabilities increase. However, PKI is difficult to apply to smart meters, and there is a possibility of accidents such as system shutdown by sending manipulated packets and sending false information to the operating system. Issuing an existing PKI certificate to smart meters with high hardware constraints makes authentication and certificate renewal difficult, so an ultra-lightweight password authentication protocol that can operate even on the poor performance of smart meters (such as non-IP networks, processors, memory, and storage space) was designed and implemented. As a result of the experiment, lightweight cryptographic authentication protocol was able to be executed quickly in the Cortex-M3 environment, and it is expected that it will help to prepare a more secure authentication system in the smart grid industry.

Smart grid is a representative convergence new technology in the era of the 4th industry revolution that deals with three broad security areas consisting of control system, the power grid, and the consumer. As it is a convergence new technology of the 4th industrial society, it is true that it can have a positive effect on the country's technological development, growth engine, and economic feasibility in the future. However, since the smart grid is expected to cause enormous damage in the event of a security accident, energy-related organizations must prepare various security measures to predict and respond to the latest security incidents. In this paper, the current status of domestic and foreign smart grids, trends in security standards, vulnerabilities and threats, and prospects for smart grid security technologies are to be considered.
