Abstract: Smart monitoring work as a backbone of a smart grid distribution network. To support the existing grid toward a smart grid scenario, smart metering plays a vital role at the customer end side. The massive deployment of smart meters in the distribution side raises a concern about data loss, privacy loss and False Data Intrusion Attack (FDIA). In order to protect the commercial and non-commercial users “End-User Privacy Protection Scheme (EPPS)” is proposed, which allows smart meters to report correct reading during FDIA/intrusion. In this proposed technique statistical machine learning method based on Gaussian Mixture Model Clustering (GMMC) and Mean Square Error (MSE) using two performance indices, the Data Protection Capability (DPC) and the confidential interval for true measurement against false data injection is evaluated. For performance evaluation of the proposed methodology, a passive distributed network is studied. Using EPPS, customer pattern is reconstructed by eliminating cyber intrusion due to FDIA on a smart metering system. This research validates the proposed method through MATLAB software using the smart meter data taken from the National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL).
