Internet of Things Role in the Renewable Energy Resources

Abstract The concept of Smart Cities is becoming a reality as it evolves from conceptual models to developmental stages. Resilient, reliable, efficient and seamless energy and electrical power flow are essential parts to energize and power the services of smart cities such as smart hospitals, smart buildings, smart factories, smart traffic and transportations. All of these smart services are expected to run without interruptions by the use of smart energy and electrical power grids which are considered among the most important pillars for such cities. To keep the services of smart cities interconnected and in sync, the Internet of Things (IoT) and cloud computing are key in such transfers. The paper presents the role of IoT in renewable energy resources integration to electricity grid.
