Analysis of Privacy Preserving for Big Data in the Environment of Power Systems

Abstract

As the development of Smart Grid deeply progressing, the data in power systems grows extremely fast. Information security has become a very important support for smart grid's safely and stably operation. To build unified, reasonable, safe and efficient information facilities is necessary for safeguarding the development of Smart Grid. The privacy problems become more and more outstanding as the big data technologies progressing. Electric power informatization branch of Chinese Society of Electrical Engineering will publish a white book called the big data development in Chinese power systems, and it will be the first white book on big data problems in electric systems. Big data problems in power systems is the inevitable trend for Smart Grid, and the corresponding privacy preserving problems also become the important guarantee for various business in power systems. In this paper, we will deeply investigate and survey the privacy preserving problems and technologies, and will provide some positive suggestions, such as a framework of privacy preserving approaches for the apps of big data in power systems.
