“…The type of electrical devices or home appliances that are currently in the premise can also be deduced from the power reading [22]. One way to do this is by using Nonintrusive Load Monitoring (NILM) algorithms, which are able to distinguish power fluctuations caused by different devices [23], [24]. The power usage information from smart meter can also reveal the private activities of the occupants within the premise such as whether they are awake or asleep, cooking, having meals, taking shower or watching TV [25] - [29].…”

“…Inferring these activities is made possible by comparing the energy consumption with the energy profile of household appliances [30]. Long-term monitoring of the power usage information of a premise can eventually reveal the daily activities, personal habits and lifestyle of the occupants [23], [28], [31], [32].…”

Many power utility companies around the world are moving towards smart grid, which integrates power delivery infrastructure with information and communication technologies. Smart meter is one of the main components of smart grid. The task of a smart meter is to track energy consumption of a premise and send that information to the utility company. Although the use of smart meter has many benefits, there are a number of security concerns regarding its usage. One particular concern is regarding the impacts of security and privacy breach of smart meter. This paper focuses on the financial impacts of smart meter security and privacy breach. The financial impacts discussed in this paper are derived from the impacts of security and privacy breach described in the literature. It is found out that the financial loss may involve various parties including the premise owner, the utility company, as well as the nation. The amount of loss can also go up to billions of dollars. Given the large group of people who may be involved and the large amount of money to be potentially lost should a security or privacy breach occur, it is very important for power companies to establish a security policy regarding smart meter and to allocate reasonable amount of resources to secure the deployed smart meter as well as the rest of the smart grid infrastructure.

Abstract-Smart grids are electric power grids that are more efficient and reliable. These are playing an essential role in modern world.Smart grids, which include a variety of operational and energy measures including smart appliances, smart metersand energy efficiency sources. The important aspects of the smart grids are the electrical power conditioning, production control and distribution of electricity. The smarts are not only focused on elimination of black-and brown-outs, but also on making the grid greener and more efficient, and therefore less costly.Now a day theresearch exercise on these smart grids involves the development in the field of Smart Metering.The inexpensiveness, simple and easy to spread out qualities lie in Power Line Communications (PLC) which made them to use in electrical power grids.This paper presents a scheme of Automatic Meter Reading Systems for Smart Metering network with PLC technology using ASK/OOK'S modulationin rural smart micro-grids. PLC with AMR systems used in power delivery system can monitor and record illegal electricity usage by detecting system which may be additionally added in present network.The PLC with AMR Systems can reducethe illegal usage of electricity and theft in rural areas. Fast and Reliable meter reading collection with less error can be achieved with AMR Systems which eliminates the necessity of physically reading the meters.In this paper, the proposed scheme for Smart Metering has been simulated in MATLAB/SIMULINK software and results are presented successfully.

I. INTRODUCTIONToday's the electricity is generated in large power stations and transmitted by interconnected high voltage transmission lines in grid system. Because of nonexistence of effective transmission system problem, a possible power cut on high voltage transmission lines can affect other grids negatively. For these reasons the request for a new network is emerging but it will be used in network communication system will be more important concept. Now a day the recent world uses smart metering broadly that spread out smart meters in the smart grid development by the great support from the factories and utility industries. There are different technologies such as wireless, fiber optic, and power line communication (PLC) is available for the smart grid communication infrastructure [1]. The modern electricity industries and companies are using this PLC technology in various applications. Smart grid systems improve the power quality and reliability of electrical power systems with reduced time delays. The use of smart metering with PLC is increased day by day which lead to early PLC systems beginning since last decade. Smart metering make use of technology in digital form to increase steadiness, accuracy, safety and electric network productivity from bulk generation, over the distribution ...
