Monitoring and Control of PV Microgrid using IoT

A Microgrid (MG) is a small-scale power grid that can operate independently or collaboratively with other power grids. The practice of using MGs is known as distributed energy production (DER). Microgrid refers to the distributed energy sources which in turn can be connected to the main grid network or can be made standalone. IoT presents a solution for improving the performance of power generation in a distributed energy resources (DER) in MG. For multiple MG systems, IoT provides a method to interconnect all the system such that all the MG systems combines together and can be connected to grid simultaneously to support the load demand in peak time, which reduces the overall load on the power generation plant.
