Abstract

Smart grid technologies enable timely energy billing for residential homes. The ability to react to energy demands during peak hours allows energy providers to conserve power and operate efficiently. However, these data streams are also susceptible to privacy attacks within the energy company and from outside hackers. We implemented four different privacy models: k-anonymous, l-diversity, t-closeness, and ϵ-differential privacy. We demonstrate the models' effectiveness using a real-world dataset composed of 15 different residential households with energy consumption data spanning over a year.
