Abstract

Conventional electric networks are extended turned into Smart Grids (SGs) to report concerns such as unidirectional data flow, energy waste, rising energy request, dependability, and safety in the present power organization. Smart Grids, which include power generation, transmission, delivery, and usage systems, allow for bidirectional energy flow amongst facility sources as well as customers. SGs use a variety of instruments for grid observing, analysis, and control, which are widely arranged at power plants, distribution centers, and customers’ homes. As a result, a Smart Grid necessitates device connectivity, automation, and tracking. The Internet of Things is used to accomplish this task. By combining IoT equipment and delivering the necessary data, IoT aids Smart Grid systems in supporting various network tasks during the generation, communication, distribution, and intake of energy. This chapter provides a thorough inspection of IoT assisted Smart Grid systems, including designs, applications, and energy efficiency and security. It also identifies unresolved questions, problems, and areas for further study.
