Smart metering is a topic that recently has attracted much attention all over the world. Smart metering appears to be a remedy for rising prices of electricity, gas or water. The evidence from many project running in Europe and the USA showed that this technology is technically feasible and can generate the value added for the households and suppliers. In this paper we aim to systematize the knowledge of smart metering solutions, point out the benefits of smart metering and present a short overview of the SMEPI project led by Vedia S.A. in cooperation with GridPocket and SGGW.

The aim of this article is to analyze the economic aspects of cybersecurity of critical infrastructure defined as physical or virtual systems and assets that are vital to a country’s functioning and whose incapacitation or destruction would have a debilitating impact on national, economic, military and public security. The functioning of modern states, firms and individuals increasingly relies on digital or cyber technologies and this trend has also materialized in various facets of critical infrastructure. Critical infrastructure presents a new cybersecurity area of attacks and threats that requires the attention of regulators and service providers. Deploying critical infrastructure systems without suitable cybersecurity might make them vulnerable to intrinsic failures or malicious attacks and result in serious negative consequences. In this article a fuller view of costs and losses associated with cyberattacks that includes both private and external (social) costs is proposed. An application of the cost-benefit analysis or the Return on Security Investment (ROSI) indicator is presented to evaluate the worthiness of cybersecurity efforts and analyze the costs associated with some major cyberattacks in recent years. The “Identify, Protect, Detect, Respond and Recover” (IPDRR) framework of organizing cybersecurity efforts is also proposed as well as an illustration as to how the blockchain technology could be utilized to improve security and efficiency within a critical infrastructure.

Cyfryzacja sieci elektroenergetycznej jest procesem, który powoli staje się rzeczywistością, zwłaszcza w krajach Europy Zachodniej, czy Ameryki Północnej. Inteligentna Sieć Elektroenergetyczna (ISE) oznacza zmianę sposobu zarządzania popytem na energię i szerokie zaangażowanie odbiorców w aktywny udział w rynku energii. Określenie inteligentna odnosi się do faktu, iż poprzez sieć przesyłana jest nie tylko energia, ale również dane, które stają się podstawą jej funkcjonowania i podejmowania decyzji na rynku energii, co wymaga znacznych inwestycji w nowe rozwiązania ICT. Projekty instalacji inteligentnych liczników, nowe systemy taryf oraz nowe programy efektywności energetycznej wprowadzane są przez dostawców energii, początkowo jako projekty pilotażowe na wybranych obszarach. Na zaangażowanie odbiorców w proponowane projekty ma wpływ wiele czynników, z czego podstawowymi są działania informacyjno-edukacyjne prowadzone przez jednostki je wprowadzające. Podstawowe znaczenie dla rozwoju ISE ma zmiana relacji dostawca – odbiorca energii, szeroki system dwustronnej komunikacji i rozwiązania ICT niezbędne dla codziennego sterowania zużyciem energii. W artykule wskazano znaczenie prowadzenia działań edukacyjno-informacyjnych na podstawie analizy danych z badań własnych, przeprowadzonych w regionie łódzkim w 2013 roku oraz na podstawie studiów literaturowych i praktyk stosowanych przez dostawców energii w procesie budowania zaangażowania odbiorców w nowe programy rynku energii.

The Smart Grid (SG) – a new idea of energy management is the unarguable direction of the 21st.century electricity grid. Thishowever requires huge capital investments in new technology, infrastructure and ICT solutions. The wide-ranging deployment process of new energy market ideas depends on a number of factors such as: the legal framework, adopted market mechanisms, accessible infrastructure and new ways of distributor-client communication. One of the most important tasks is to change the role of passive energy customers into active prosumers. The customers’ acceptance of new offers and energy market possibilities is a key element for the widespread SG deployment and demands a lot of effort to prepare the proper educational process. The purpose of this article is to present the importance of a coordinated education system based on literature overview, best practices used by utilities advanced in SG solution implementations and the results of a survey done in Lodz Region in 2013.

This paper primary goal is to provide a perspective on energy security issues in the light of modern technology. Natural example for provided analysis is the country of Denmark, country that points both energy security and modern technology as its top priority. The analysis includes introduction that depicts the crucial issues, followed by basic defi nitions of energy security and modern technology. Furthermore, detailed theoretical perspectives concerning the energy security and modern technology are harnessed in an attempt to describe and explain relations concerning energy in Denmark.
