Abstract

A smart grid is the combination of electrical networks and communication-based facilities which include smart metering, automation facilities and time-based monitoring techniques with the existing electrical network. A smart grid represents a two-way power transfer capability from utility to consumer and from consumer to utility. Smart grid infrastructure is also used in industries for continuous monitoring and safety of the electrical equipments and regulation of electrical network. The smart grid does this through a network of transmission lines, smart meters, distribution automation, substations, transformers, sensors, software and more that are distributed to a grid across the city. Internet of Things (IoT) technology in sensible grid provides an approach to collect and retrieve information from all the equipments connected in the system and speed up the informatization of facility system; it is helpful for effective management of the power grid infrastructure. The smart grid with part of IoT Framework give us facilities like remotely monitoring and managing everything from lighting, faults warnings, early maintenance warning and early detection of things like ...
