IoT and the IoT ecosystem have brought about a drastic change all over the world, social media has taken control over everyone's life and artificial intelligence has revamped various things.
Iot in simple words:
Iot, the abbreviation for the internet of things is the transfer of information between billions of devices having access to the internet.
The internet of things has helped speed up human life. Even a petty task like switching off the light can now be automatically controlled with automation.
IoT platforms have been beneficial on a large scale, especially in the energy industry.
Thanks to IoT data, one can now access their consumption of energy resources.
Smart grid technology is the other thing that has only been possible because of the iot applications and has been advantageous towards the energy system.
What Is Smart Grid Technology?
Smart grid technology because of connections to the internet, collects real-time data which is transmitted to a central point and is monitored and analysed for the distribution system of power supply. It also prevents and heals fault detections.
Moreover the consumer also gets information about the supply of electricity.
It is a two-way technology.
Smart grids have replaced the traditional power grids. Traditional grids are just one way, they don’t have an option to allow the consumers to receive the information. They are slow and not as smooth and efficient as a smart grid. Without iot solutions smart grids would not have been possible.
What is the role of the internet of things in smart grid technology?
The following features in smart grids have been achieved only because of iot.
Self-repair Capacity
Smart grids have the ability to self analyse and evaluate the issues occurring and then automatically respond to these faulty occurrences effectively reducing the workforce and making it highly efficient for humans.
Security
Iot security helps smart grids being responsive to cybersecurity and physical attacks effectively defending these attacks, which is very important in today’s world with a risk of security threats all around. It is helpful in fraud detection. This ensures protection of devices.
High Quality
Various attributes such as smart meters and transformers of the smart grid technology help deliver reliable and high quality power to the consumers unlike traditional grids which are very restricted, disabling efficient transmission of power.
Utility savings
The two way transmission of data and information helps reduce wastage of electricity by monitoring the consumption of energy and then effectively managing their energy usage. It is beneficial, both for saving energy, and bills.
Smart grids being easy to manage and maintain with more reliability is definitely the future of the world.
