Cryptography-based schemes and battery-based schemes are first proposed to


preserve privacy in smart grid. The first kind tries to use cryptographic primitives
and protocols to cut down the customer identities and their meter readings, and
then delivers those readings securely on the grid network. The second kind uses a
rechargeable battery to perturb the customer’s energy consumption, before this
consumption is sent to the network. Unfortunately, all the existing schemes need
the electric company to analyze Terabyte-level big data, because they do not
consider to store the meter readings on the cloud. Some companies such as
Siemens, IBM and eGlobalTech Incorporated have attempted to outsource the data
on the cloud to relieve the storage and computation pressure. However, the primary
obstruction is that the meter readings belong to privacy-sensitive data. Specifically,
the outsourced cloud can analyze the energy consumption pattern of the electric
appliances from those meter readings by running non-intrusive load monitor
algorithms, and thereby the customers’ daily activities are exposed. Hence, it will
pose a serious threat to the customer’s privacy. Since the outsourced cloud is not
always trustworthy an intuitive method is to encrypt all the meter readings before
they are transferred to the cloud. But this makes the data statistic difficult on cloud.
