Performance Evaluation of RPL Routing Protocol for IoT Based Power Distribution Network

Power distribution automation plays an important role in the smart grid world. With the development of Internet of Things (IoT) technology and fog computing capability, real time streaming analytics and efficient monitoring of the grid is possible. So towards this an IoT based Power Distribution system integrated with Fog been proposed. 6LoWPAN which is IPv6 over Low Power Personal Area network been integrated into smart meters, pole transformer Intelligent Electronic Devices (IEDs) and distribution line sensors of the IoT based system for transmitting data wirelessly using 6LoWPAN communication network to fog which acts as a 6LoWPAN gateway.
