IoT-based smart grid system design for smart home

Smart Grid and Internet of Things (IoT) are two technologies that become highly developed lately. In the perspective of energy saving, smart grid is an excellent solution to optimize the energy consumption while the IoT can be a solution that offers consumers the convenience of having a realtime method to control and monitor energy usage in a home. In this paper the authors propose the design of smart grid system design based on IoT for smart home. The architecture of the proposed protocols to be used, the working of the system, and the challenge in the system design are analyzed so that the proposed design can improve the optimization of the system Smart grid itself.
