SPA: smart meter privacy analyzer

Abstract

Smart meter data, invites intended or unintended malicious and potentially dangerous privacy breaching activities, like activity detection of the habitants though it has high potential to facilitate innumerable utilities. Here, we propose a novel solution SPA: Smart meter Privacy Analyzer for addressing the problem of privacy breaching risk minimization smart home energy management systems. It is an unsupervised learning based method along with robust statistics and information theoretic approaches. This abstract provides overview of design and implementation of our tool along with obtained results and most importantly evaluation of a trade-off point to realize optimal privacy-utility trade-off.
