A new approach for privacy-aware smart metering using the concept of software defined networking

The direct and two-way communication between energy suppliers and high-frequency smart meters enables the suppliers to implement dynamic pricing and manage demand response. Fine-grained monitoring of energy consumption also helps consumers improve their energy profile. This granularity, however, may...
