论文摘要
智能仪表的越来越多地引入了人们对高分辨率计量数据引起的消费者隐私风险的越来越关注。为了应对这些风险，有各种各样的工作在使用可控载荷（例如储能系统（ESS）和灵活的消费者负载）积极地塑造可见的能源消耗概况。在本文中，我们将基于热热的消费者负载（FTL）与用于消费者隐私保护的ESS进行了比较。首先假设理想的条件，然后将它们更接近现实，因此确定了使用FTL进行隐私保护的局限性。通过理论分析和现实的模拟，结果表明，由于FTL的运行局限性，没有对消费者舒适性的系统和牺牲的显着大小的大小过大，因此需要更高等效的储能容量才能提供与ESS相同的保护水平。尽管如此，考虑到它们的普遍性增加，应考虑使用可控的FTL来用于消费者隐私保护。
The increasing adoption of smart meters introduces growing concerns about consumer privacy risks stemming from high resolution metering data. To counter these risks, there have been various works in actively shaping the grid-visible energy consumption profile using controllable loads such as energy storage systems (ESSs) and flexible consumer loads. In this paper, we compare the use of flexible thermal-based consumer loads (FTLs) against ESSs for consumer privacy protection. By first assuming ideal conditions, and subsequently bringing them closer to reality, the limitations of using FTLs for privacy protection are identified. Through theoretical analyses and realistic simulations, it is shown that, due to the limitations in the operation of FTLs, without significant over-sizing of systems and sacrifices in consumer comfort, FTLs of much higher equivalent energy storage capacity are required to afford the same level of protection as ESSs. Nonetheless, given their increasing ubiquity, controllable FTLs should be considered for use in consumer privacy protection.
