Internet of Things Integration in Smart Grid

Electricity as the primary source of power for gadgets, computers, machinery, and other electronic goods is used at the home-to-industrial level. Most of the world's Electric Grids operate on fossil fuels which are getting thinner and expected to run out soon, the best solution that is possible to do is Smart Grid. The Smart Grid realized extensive use of information sensing, transmission and processing. Today, IoT technology become a essential role in construction of power grid. This paper reviews the Integration of IoT in Smart Grids. IoT-integrated Smart Grid systems are already deployed, but the full capabilities of instant knowledge and sustainable large-scale data processing have not been exploited optimally. Two of the architectures of IoT integrated Smart Grids is four-layered architecture and Web Enabled Smart Grid. To process and manage the Big Data in Smart Grid, Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA) system can be used and furthermore enhanced with cloud computing. The smart grid is the future of electric grid that solves the problems of information flows, rising energy consumption, energy waste, reliability and security in the conventional power grid.
