  Abstract

Smart meters deployed in the fields often require updates for feature extension, bug-fixing and other operations. While remote software update is considered a more cost-effective alternative to on-site interventions, technologies and regulations are not ready in Korea. Therefore, technologies and legal framework for remote software update in AMI have become pressing issues in the Korean electric metering ecosystem. In this paper we analyze remote software update requirements for legally certified smart meters and important features of remote software update based on IEC metering standards known as DLMS. We also propose secure software update architecture and procedures using an e-Sea implemented in java card. Furthermore, operational validity of the proposed architecture and procedures was evaluated on a test-bed built for 50 households. Related results are presented and analyzed.
