Data Security and Privacy Protection Mechanism of Smart Meter in Distribution Network
Although smart meters improve the accuracy of power metering and the intelligent level of power grid management,they also face the challenges of data security and privacy protection.This paper analyzes the working principle and function of smart meters,the characteristics and value of data,and discusses the risks of physical security,network communication security,data storage and processing security and privacy leakage.To deal with these risks,protection mechanisms such as encryption technology,identity authentication and access control,data anonymity and desensitization,and blockchain technology are proposed.With technological progress and changing social needs,the data security and privacy protection of smart meters will continue to evolve.
