T3.1 Multi-Metrics
Objective
This task will create the Multi-metrics models for Smart Grids. The Multi-Metrics analysis will be applied for application-driven infrastructures, e.g. reporting, monitoring, and control through the smart grid.

Contributions
This task will develop privacy-preserving demand response management (DRM) solution in the smart grid. Privacy will be the major metrics within the developed multi-metrics analytics framework. We are mainly motivated by the following obserservations.
- One precondition in DRM is the users’ power usage awareness and price information awareness
- Power usage can be abused to capture, model and divulge customers’ behavior and activities.
- Operational data like real-time price information be attacked to destabilize the pricing system. Small malicious modifications to the price signals can cause highly volatile price, fluctuating power demand, and probably power grid blackout consequence.
Approaches
- Identify the privacy-preservation issue in the framework of demand response management
- Formulate and address the privacy-preserving DRM problem
- Study the price as the primary steering signal to adaptively regulate the power demand and the incentive where individual devices are selfish and independent decision-makers.
