Advanced Metering Infrastructure (AMI) is a collection of smart meters, communications networks, and data management systems that have been specifically designed to facilitate the effective integration of energy resources. As AMI continues to become more complex and integrated with advanced functionalities, additional questions about cyber security must be considered. The security of an AMI is of critical importance. The implementation of secure protocols and the enforcement of strict security requirements may be able to stop vulnerabilities from being exploited. This research analyses AMI from a security standpoint. It also discusses potential flaws related to various smart meter attack surfaces, as well as the security and threat implications of these flaws. Threat modelling is an engineering undertaking that helps identify security threats, potential vulnerabilities, and their criticality and prioritize corrective or countermeasures. The results show how threat models, specifically STRIDE and LINDDUN, can be used in the case of an AMI and demonstrate the dangers connected to this AMI configuration.
