– Research on the subject of security and privacy issues of smart grid components, in particular user behaviour tracking with smart meters 
– Development of a tool for real-time measurement of load data provided via the internet by a solar panel system on-site
– Development of a tool for visual analysis of open source energy consumption data
– Conception of possible tasks for future students making use of the developed tools 
– Collection of material and examples to convey and motivate, why privacy protection and data security are important for electricity infrastructure

Project Meeting in Cape Town and Block Course

The fifth project meeting took place in the great city of Cape Town from March 11 – 12, 2019. Further, we carried out the second block course from March 13 – 15, 2019, in which the new and adapted modules at CPUT were presented and discussed. Furthermore, updates from all other partners especially regarding the courses were presented and discussed. We thank all the participants from the different partner institutions for taking part in the block course and providing us with valuable feedback. We had the unique opportunity to see the lab and its new equipment at CPUT during the lab representation.

Special thanks goes to our partners from CPUT for hosting and organizing this great events.
