Introduction
Electrical energy storage is a key factor for the future. The
consumption of electrical energy (i.e. the use of air conditioning,
audio and video devices or electric heating) is increasing every year
due; firstly to the increase of the population and secondly by the
appearance of new uses of consumption, such as electric cars. With this
increase consumption, how to ensure the balance between supply and
demand for electricity at all times? To address this problem, the idea
of placing the new generation of smart grids to control this energy has
appeared in recent literature in different flavors in order to provide
electric power supply secure, sustainable and competitive to consumers.
In addition, the revolution in smart grid involves a significant change
in side of the consumer where consumers will also become producer with
the ability of energy storage such as in the vehicle battery, or as a
local generation sources such as photovoltaic panels. However, the smart
grid develops modern solutions for the next-generation network and
digital communication in which many systems and subsystems are
interconnected to provide services from end-to-end network between
various actors and between intelligent devices that are deployed there.
Within each network, a hierarchical structure is composed of different
types of networks, such as the HANs (Home Area Networks), the BANs
(Building Area Networks), the IANs (Industrial Area Networks), the NANs
(Neighborhood Area Networks), the FANs (Field Area Networks), and the
WANs (Wide Area Networks). Currently, large societies propose the use of
cloud computing in smart grid applications connected with the electrical
control center. The main problem in the development of a smart grid is
not located at the physical medium but mainly in delivery of reliability
and security. The possibility of fitting with active or passive attacks
in smart grid network is great to divulge privacy and disrupt energy
(e.g. Wormhole Attack, False Data Injection Attack, Black Hole Attack,
Grey Hole Attack, DoS Attack, Physical Layer Attack, Colluding Adversary
Attack, Routing Table Overflow Attack etc.). Therefore, the security
requirements, including authentication, accountability, integrity,
non-repudiation, access control and confidentiality should be paid more
attention in the future for high performance smart grids. This book will
cover the current scope of various methodologies and mechanisms in the
theory and practice of security, privacy, intrusion detection, and
applied cryptography in smart grid communications in one place.
Objective
This comprehensive and timely publication aims to be an essential
reference source, building on the available literature in the field of
smart grid security in developing countries while providing for further
research opportunities in this dynamic field. It is hoped that this text
will provide the resources necessary for policy makers, technology
developers and managers to adopt and implement smart grid platforms in
developing nations across the globe.
Target Audience
Policy makers, academicians, researchers, advanced-level students,
technology developers, and government officials will find this book
useful in furthering their research exposure to pertinent topics in
smart grid security and assisting in furthering their own research
efforts in this field.
