contents In smart grids, the use of smart meters to measure electricity consumption at a household level raises privacy concerns. To address them, researchers have designed various load hiding algorithms that manipulate the electricity consumption measured. To compare how well these algorithms preserve privacy, various privacy measures have been proposed. However, there currently is no consensus on which privacy measure is most appropriate to use. In this study, we aim to identify the most effective privacy measure(s) for load hiding algorithms. We have crafted a series of experiments to assess the effectiveness of these measures. found 20 of the 25 measures studied to be ineffective. Next, focused on the well-known "appliance usage" secret, we have designed synthetic data to find the measure that best deals with this secret. We observe that such a measure, a variant of mutual information, actually exists.
