Abstract

Demand Side Management (DSM) is an auspicious concept for managing electricity grids with a high share of renewable energy sources. We provide a survey on privacy energy issues and potential solutions in Demand Response systems. For this we give an overview of privacy issues raised by energy consumption values. We introduce the Smart Metering Gateway concept of the BSI and indicate three technical types of Demand Response (DR). Furthermore we show how the three types can be integrated in the Smart Meter Gateway (SMGW) BSI setting. We present the privacy concerns about three technical DR types and provide an overview of current Privacy Enhancing Technologies that are applicable to mitigate these problems.

The research leading to these results has received funding from the European Union’s Seventh Framework Programme (FP7-SMARTCITIES-2013) under grant agreement no 608712.
