ABSTRACT
Smart metering is considered as a key feature of smart grid network. It provides a high frequency two-way communication between the electricity consumer and the utility provider. However, as useful as the collection of fine-grained consumption measurements for the utility provider, it also puts the consumer privacy in risk by exposing sensitive personal information. In this paper, we present a summary of the existing state of the art of privacy-preserving smart metering. Specifically, we review 27 papers related to privacy preservation approaches for advanced metering infrastructure networks which were published in recent years. Hence, we provide a detailed classification of these studies, then we give a brief description of each paper as well as its limitations and finally we conclude the paper and explore some future research directions.
