Abstract

The Internet of Things (IoT) has emerged as a key technology for converting conventional power grids into smart, efficient, and reliable energy systems. This study proposes an IoT based intelligent power grid control and energy monitoring system incorporating connected devices, current and voltage sensors, relays, and advanced analytics capable of providing dynamic state estimation, protection, control, and optimization of energy consumption. The proposed system gathers real-time data regarding energy generation, distribution, and load parameters at the individual appliance, building, and overall grid levels, and transmits the same using a Wi-Fi module to a web-based platform accessible through an Android device using a unique channel ID. Such data analytics enable dynamic load management, demand response, peak load reduction, and improvement in grid stability, in addition to offering overcurrent and under voltage protection through relay-based mechanisms. The proposed system also provides integration and efficient utilization of renewable energy sources like solar and wind power. Real-time oversight and remote control facilitate addressing issues such as unpredictable loads and load shedding, thus helping to develop smart city energy infrastructure.
