Abstract

The recent cyber-physical integration in the electric power grid provides unprecedented insights and management capabilities to the grid operator. Devices such as smart meters have been widely deployed in urban cities and produce granular user consumption information that can be used for many useful applications such as demand response. Efficiently managing and processing this expansive sensitive data in a secure manner is a challenging task. We address this in this paper by leveraging on light-weight encryption and the cloud services. Results indicate that our proposed solution is economical and eliminates many of the issues associated with relying on third party services for data management.
