Smart meter privacy by suprression of low power frequency components

This paper focuses on the problems associated with privacy protection in smart grid. We will give an overview of a possible realization of a privacy-preserving approach that encompasses privacy-utility tradeoff into a single model. This approach proposes suppression of low power frequency components as a solution to reduce the amount of information leakage from smart meter readings. We will consider the applicability of the procedure to hide the appliance usage with respect to the type of home devices
