 Advances in technology promote us to use electricity-
driven elements in every aspect of our life.
 The Internet of Things (IoT) is a rapidly emerging field of
technologies that delivers numerous cutting-edge solutions
in various application domains.
 IoT can resolve unavoidable challenges by transforming
conventional energy grids into modernized Smart Energy
Grid system.

 The IoT-enabled Smart Energy Grid system equipped
with intelligent two-way data communication can
significantly improve the operation and control of the
traditional energy grid system.
 These improvements address the reliability, flexibility,
efficiency of the conventional grid system.

LAYER 1: DATA COLLECTION LAYER
 The data collection layer is in charge of collecting the
information from the physical devices with the help of
advanced sensing actuation technologies.
 an actuator can be described as an element that converts an
electrical gesture into the act or controls some external device,
for example, movement.
 The output signal of the sensor could be converted to motion by
actuator or show in any readable display or transmitted over the
network for further processing.

LAYER 2 :DATA COMMUNICATION LAYER
 Data communication layer is responsible for transmitting the
raw information or statistics that is acquired from data
collection section and transfers them to a remotely located
utility for further processing and actions.

LAYER 3:DATA PROCESSING LAYER
 The data processing layer of IoT is responsible for processing
and analyzing the data generated by IoT devices.
 It involves collecting, storing, analyzing, and visualizing the
data to extract insights and derive value from it.

APPLICATION OF IOT
10
 FOG OR EDGE NODE-BASED SCADA SYSTEM:
 A fog or edge node-based SCADA - a system architecture that utilizes
fog or edge computing to process data locally, rather than transmitting all
data to a centralized server or cloud.
 In a traditional SCADA system, data from sensors and control devices
are sent to a central server, where it is processed and analyzed.
 data is processed closer to the source, either at the edge of the network or
in a fog computing layer that is closer to the devices.
 The fog-based smart energy grid SCADA system comprises of four
major parts,
• End or terminal devices
• Fog computing devices
• Cloud
• SCADA system

 IOT FOR AMI CONNECTED DISTRIBUTION SYSTEM:
 The advanced metering infrastructure (AMI) is an architecture for
programmed, bi-directional communication between the consumer
smart meter, and service provider.
 The objective of an AMI is to deliver real-time statistics regarding
power consumption to the utility service providers.
 With the help of the smart meter, the consumer can control their
devicesremotely thus control their energy utilization effectively.

CHALLENGES FACED BY SMART ENERGY SYSTEM
13
 Cyber attacks on IoT enabled smart automation devices running
in non critical premises.
 Cyber attacks on IoT enabled smart automation devices running
in critical facilities.
 Energy theft.

CONCLUSION
14
 The IoT-enabled smart grid is an upcoming grid system that
has the potential to solve various challenges and issues of the
traditional grid.
 The main objective of IoT is to enable ubiquitous and
seamless connectivity to a vast range of devices located all
around the globe.
 The integration of the IoT with a traditional power grid
system turns it into a smart one by enabling it to take smart
decisions during different phases of energy flow
