ABSTRACT
The transformation of the current electrical gird to a smart grid, enabling a real time analysis as well as response of electrical consumption, poses new security and privacy electricity grid challenges. It is of crucial interest for utilities to obtain precise consumption data, in order to manage the grid. From the security perspective confidentiality as well as integrity must be kept to ensure utilities receiving of correct data. From privacy perspective precise data poses a threat to customers. Precise energy data allows to gain a view into each participating household, which is beyond the original needs of performing grid management. The iUrban pilot builds a bridge between both contrary goals. Data needed for grid management is delivered in a precise form, while data for additional use cases, like analyzing energy consumption of a house, is delivered in a privacy preserving form.
