1. Introduction
The rapid deployment of smart grids has transformed modern energy systems by enabling real-time monitoring, decentralized generation, and enhanced operational efficiency. However, these advancements have also introduced new vulnerabilities, particularly energy theft and privacy breaches. This research introduces an incentive-based, privacy-aware energy theft detection framework grounded in contract theory, aiming to balance detection efficiency with consumer data protection while supporting sustainable and secure smart grid ecosystems.
2. Contract Theory in Smart Grid Security
Contract theory provides a powerful analytical tool to model asymmetric information between utility providers and consumers in smart grids. This topic examines how incentive-compatible contracts can motivate truthful energy usage reporting, reduce fraudulent behavior, and align stakeholder objectives while addressing information imbalance in cyber-physical energy systems.
3. Privacy-Aware Mechanisms for Energy Data Protection
With increasing data granularity in smart meters, privacy concerns have become a critical barrier to energy analytics adoption. This section focuses on privacy-aware mechanism design, ensuring that theft detection algorithms operate effectively without exposing sensitive household or industrial consumption patterns.
4. Incentive Design for Honest Participation
This topic explores how well-structured incentives encourage user cooperation in energy theft detection frameworks. By linking rewards and penalties to contract compliance, the system fosters trust, participation, and long-term sustainability within smart grid environments.
5. Cybersecurity Challenges in Energy Theft Detection
Energy theft detection systems face evolving cyber threats, including data manipulation and false reporting attacks. This section analyzes how combining cybersecurity principles with economic modeling strengthens system resilience against malicious actors in smart energy networks.
6. Implications for Smart Cities and Sustainable Energy Systems
The final topic discusses how privacy-aware, incentive-based detection models contribute to smart city development and sustainable energy transitions. It highlights policy implications, scalability potential, and future research directions for secure, transparent, and citizen-centric energy infrastructures.
