An Analysis of Security and Privacy Issues in Smart Grid Software Architectures on Clouds
2011 IEEE 4th International Conference on Cloud Computing, 2011Co-Authors: Yogesh Simmhan, A G Kumbhare, Baohua Cao, Viktor PrasannaAbstract:Power utilities globally are increasingly upgrading to Smart Grids that use bi-directional communication with the consumer to enable an information-driven approach to distributed energy management. Clouds offer features well suited for Smart Grid software platforms and applications, such as elastic resources and shared services. However, the security and privacy concerns inherent in an information-rich Smart Grid environment are further exacerbated by their deployment on Clouds. Here, we present an analysis of security and privacy issues in a Smart Grids software architecture operating on different Cloud environments, in the form of a taxonomy. We use the Los Angeles Smart Grid Project that is underway in the largest U.S. Municipal Utility to drive this analysis that will benefit both Cloud practitioners targeting Smart Grid applications, and Cloud researchers investigating security and privacy.

implementing energy efficiency challenges and opportunities for rural electric co operatives and small Municipal utilities
Energy Policy, 2008Co-Authors: Elizabeth J Wilson, Joseph Plummer, Miriam Fischlein, Timothy M SmithAbstract:Challenges in implementing demand side management (DSM) programs in rural electric co-operatives and small Municipal utilities are not well understood, yet these organizations sell roughly 15% of electricity in the US, many are more coal-intensive than investor-owned utilities (IOUs), and they are politically important--rural electric co-operatives cover about 75% of the US land area and Municipal utilities are found in every state except Hawaii. We provide a background on rural co-operatives and Municipal utilities in the context of the US electric sector and highlight the challenges and opportunities of implementing DSM programs in these institutions. Where past studies of Utility DSM have mostly focused on IOUs or consisted of qualitative case studies of Municipal utilities with exemplary DSM performance, this study makes a unique contribution to the DSM literature by systematically analyzing an entire co-operative and Municipal Utility population in Minnesota through the use of a survey. In doing so, we provide policy recommendations relevant to energy planners and policy makers to support DSM in rural electric co-operatives and Municipal utilities.
