Testing Smart Meters with Custom Application

Abstract

This paper presents a solution for testing smart meters and other related technologies in relation to their cyber security. To test all possible requirements from electricity distribution companies and from the Czech Republic legislation there is a need for a flexible tool. None other solutions were acceptable for our needs, so we designed and developed a custom application for testing smart meters. Our solution can be used for testing smart meters and their interoperability, compatibility with communication technologies, security of the smart meters and all the data, that can be read from them. All testing takes place at our Smart Grid Lab at BUT.
