Logical Architecture of HAN-Centric Smartgrid Model

Abstract

Home area network, which is located at the closest position to customer, handles private information of customer in smart grid. Thus, it is considered as security sensitive area in smart grid. And there could be undiscovered cyber security threat and vulnerability of systems. Therefore, it is required to develop the reference model in order to analyze security requirements and enhance the security of home area network. In this paper, home area network centric smart grid logical architecture is proposed to research for security enhancement through analyzing previous reference models. The proposed logical architecture focuses on communication routes and customer affinity.
