“…The availability of large smart meter consumption data in AMI has the potential to enable new insights and better decisions [62]. Currently, extensive research is being done to carry out data analytics [63], [64]. The research is mainly focused in forecasting the accurate and efficient power consumption/supply [65], predicting peak demand [62], identifying the impact of temporal data granularity on the accuracy of electricity consumption [62], analyzing security risk [66], and detecting future attacks [67]- [69].…”

False smart meter consumption data injected from compromised smart meters in Advanced Metering Infrastructure (AMI) is a threat that affects both utilities and consumers. With the increasing amount of smart meters' deployment, this will cause difficulties in the identification of fraud and malicious attempts. Due to the large scale of potential evidence, it is regarded as a grand challenge for forensic investigators in identifying relevant patterns of events. Furthermore, most of the existing works only deal with electricity theft from customers. Derived from these motivations, this study is focusing on the identification of data falsification in smart meter consumption and propose an integrated statistical technique combining interquartile range (IQR) and K-means. It is assumed that solving this challenge would help in structuring investigation findings, which able to aid investigator of law enforcement agencies and other stakeholders in reasoning and identifying compromised smart meters.

Smart building research is commonly explored in commercial buildings and less studied in the context of social housing. In this context, this article aims to diagnose the main barriers to the adoption of smart buildings' concepts and technologies in social housing projects in Brazil. The 'Expert Interviews' method was used with seven Brazilian experts in the fields of smart buildings and social housing, based on the assumption that experts have special knowledge, which are related to a special field. The main barriers categories identified in this study can be summarised in: 1) economic; 2) policy; 3) social; 4) technical. Based on these results, the study aims to contribute with possible solutions and guidelines to overcome such barriers, and discusses propositions that can be improved into hypothesis for later empirical testing.

“…The SM remote communication can also helps to detect illegal load consumption reduction by tampering the current and voltage connection part that is outside of the SM as shown in [13]. This tamper was carried out in Brazil where the largescale consumers are equipped with time-of-use (TOU) solid state current transformer (CT) meters.…”

This work outlines important characteristics of hybrid PLC-wireless systems for smart grid applications. Moreover, it discusses the hybrid wireless-PLC systems advantages in comparison to not hybrid systems. These advantages are demonstrated not only in the technical point of view, but also in the infrastructural perspective. Moreover, It addresses the environment influence on wireless and power line communications as well as relevant security aspects for a Smart Grid implementation. Computational simulations based on physical layer of IEEE P1901.2 standard and PLC and wireless channel models show that the hybrid PLC-wireless system offers a gain of signal to noise ratio when compared to only a wireless or PLC system.
