Electrical energy storage is a key of modern and future life. The consumption of electrical energy (including the use of air conditioning, audio and video devices, or electric heating) is increasing every year due to the increase of the population and the introduction of new forms of consumption, such as electric cars. The dilemma with this increased consumption is how to ensure the balance between supply and demand for electricity.
To address this problem, the idea of using the new generation of internet of energy to control this energy has appeared in recent literature in various domains to provide a secure, sustainable, and competitive electric power supply to consumers. In addition, the revolution on the internet of energy involves a significant change inside of the consumer where they will also become producers with the ability of energy storage in items such as a vehicle battery, or as local generation sources such as photovoltaic panels.
Security and Privacy Solutions for the Internet of Energy covers the current scope of various methodologies and mechanisms in the theory and practice of security, privacy, intrusion detection, and applied cryptography for the internet of energy. It covers security, privacy, and threat detection/protection with a focus on technologies such as smart grids, industrial control systems, artificial intelligence, and cyber-physical systems.
This book is essential for security analysts, policymakers, technologists, IT consultants, data specialists, practitioners, researchers, academicians, and students interested in the internet of energy and how security and privacy issues are being addressed and resolved for these specific technologies.
