A Systematic Literature Review on IoT-based Smart Grid

The largest potential of IoT implementation is in the smart grid. IoT technology is critical to the smart grid because it allows for large-scale communication between different components of the smart grid on a two-way basis. The Internet of Things can be used in all aspects of the smart grid by accessing real-time data from the power system and then monitoring and analyzing it. A Systematic Literature Review was used in this study to better understand the benefits, architectures, applications, and challenges of IoT-based smart grids. Several steps are taken to produce related articles. There are thirty-four research articles that related to research questions, then reviewed. It can be concluded that the most benefits of implementing IoT in smart grid will be improved reliability, efficiency, and stability of power systems. The major architectures of IoT-based smart grids consists of three layers which are perception, network, and application layers. IoT-based smart grid application can be implemented in every aspect of the power system, right from power generation to end consumer. Some challenges present when IoT is integrated into the smart grid, privacy and security issues become most challenging.
