Cyber-Physical Protection of Smart Energy Grids

 

  • Focus on Residential Energy infrastructures
  • Self-deployable non-invasive enhancements
  • Embedded compatibility with Smart Grids
  • Active cyber-physical protection built-in

 

Residential
Infrastructure

  • Smart Meter
  • Energy Management System
  • Smart/dummy appliances
  • Sensing & control nodes

Embedded
Components

  • Replacement of existing plugs/sockets with “smart” enablers, installation of the EMS
Cyber-physical
Protection  
  • Artificial Intelligence based analysis of energy consumption, appliances use versus user activities
  • Detection of inconsistencies between data acquired from sensors / appliances and physical events
  • Detection of diversions from preprogrammed by user and/or self-sensed usage profiles
  • Network isolation of residential energy devices from Internet (EMS the only one linked to Internet)
Smart-Grid
Compatible
  • Secure accounting of consumption data, cost policies and billing
  • Reverse-verification of data submitted to the Grid, reducing risk of fake data submission to the Grid
  • Prevention of reverse-engineering of usage profiles (data obfuscation), e.g. user inside/outside
