Project Summary
Recent advances in data analytics of energy system highlight the need to collect large volume of data, which causes concerns over privacy and security. Existing protection schemes, such as encryption, can not address the privacy concerns over the lifetime of the data, as evidenced by the data breach of British Airways. This project aims to explore and expand a new concept of differential privacy, recently developed in data science, into the energy system and develop a novel consumer-centric privacy-preserving mechanism that provides tailored protection for consumer-chosen sensitive information, while minimising the utility loss of the data.
Further information is available on the project.
