5 Internet of things (IoT)-based smart grids
-
Monika Yadav
Abstract
The current grid has only one-way communication system with the load which can be termed as a monologue. This does not allow the grid to communicate with the load side to manage itself. When there is a way communication between the two then we can call it as a dialogue. This makes an ordinary grid “smart grid.” The smart grid represents an unprecedented opportunity to move the energy industry into a new era of reliability, availability, and efficiency that will contribute to our economic and environmental health. To make a grid smart, new sensors and measurement instrumentations will have to be added in the system. These instruments will take real-time data from the grid as well as the demand side which will be then used for proper monitoring and planning. To collect and analyze this real-time data will be stored in cloud and can be made accessible anywhere. For this purpose, Internet of things (IoT) will prove to be very useful. In this chapter we will start from the basics of smart grid and IoT, giving information about each parameter and instruments that we can use in IoT and smart grid. Then we will show some examples from the present-day world where this is used. We will also discuss the advantages and disadvantages of this method.
