Security Threats in Demo Steinkjer. Report from the Telenor-SINTEF collaboration project on Smart Grids

Abstract

This report describes security threats associated with the deployment of an Advanced Metering Infrastructure (AMI) in the Demo Steinkjer demonstration project. The description is based on the first phase of the actual smart meter roll-out in Steinkjer, but is kept on a vendor-neutral level. This document should thus be relevant for all other Distribution System Operators choosing a similar configuration for their AMI.

The work described in this report has been performed by SINTEF with funding from Telenor, as a contribution to the Demo Steinkjer project organised under the auspices of the Norwegian Smart Grid Centre. Additional contributions have been received from NTNU, NTE and Aidon.
