Abstract:

Vehicle to grid (V2G) network is a crucial part of smart grid. Privacy is now a big obstacle in the way of the development of V2G networks. The privacy preservation problem in V2G networks could be more severe than in other parts of Smart Grid due to its e-mobility. In this paper, the authors analyze and summarize privacy preservation approaches which achieve various privacy preservation goals. The authors introduced state-of-the-art research works focusing on privacy preservation issues in V2G networks. These surveyed papers addressed various privacy preservation problems, including ID and location privacy, anonymous billing and payment system, anonymous authentication, and concealed data aggregation. The authors summarize solved problems and issues of these techniques, and introduce possible solutions for unsolved problems. As a future work, the authors further address issues left in the solved problems and study the applicability of possible solutions to those unsolved problems.
