Energy measurement and security for smart grid

It may sound trite, but it is absolutely true: the smart grid has the potential to completely alter the energy industry. However, smart meters and grid management alone will not ensure the success of the smart grid. Unlike traditional IT networks, smart grids require consideration of energy measurement and security. To completely optimise this technology, smart grid designs must focus on energy measurement and security. This tutorial considers the benefits of both energy measurement and security and how they make machine-to-machine networks different from traditional IT.
