An Advanced Metering Infrastructure for Future Energy Networks

Measurable Security, Privacy and Dependability in Smart Grids

“…These methods range from low end optical readers of the numbers of the analogue reader to high-end control systems for the home, and are commonly treated as automatic meter readers (AMR). Karnouskos et al described the change from an AMR system (AMS) into an advanced metering infrastructure (AMI), including initial security challenges [12].…”

Service Orientation and the Smart Grid state and trends

“…Each device of the Smart Grid will be "SOA-ready" exposing in a standard way the services it can provide, and at the same time, it will be able to dynamically discover services of other devices through web service dynamic discovery specifications. One of this devices is the Smart Meter , which acts as service provider for an enhanced business process in which the meter can not only provide real-time information, but also take decisions related to energy usage and consumption interacting with other services on the Internet [27].…”

Near optimal demand-side energy management under real-time demand-response pricing

“…The vision and development of a smart grid have been well documented in literature [3][4] [5]. They aim at providing a high quality and well managed power grid service while reducing the energy wastage in production and transport.…”

“…They aim at providing a high quality and well managed power grid service while reducing the energy wastage in production and transport. Reading (AMR) [5] is proposed as an effective way of gathering detailed metering information about the consumer's energy consumption status and utilize this information for better power production planning and to make consumer aware of their power consumption levels. The activities in this area thus far have been producer-centric.…”
