IoT Based Power Monitoring System for Smart Grid Applications

Internet of Things (IoT) is widely used in smart energy monitoring, industrial automation, and a variety of applications. At various stages of Smart Grid (SG), IoT devices are deployed to monitor and control grid statistics for reliable and efficient delivery of power. Although IoT integration in the SG domain provides manifold benefits, the challenges in IoT-SG integration needs to be solved for the efficient operation of the grid. In this paper, firstly an overview of SG and IoT based SG system is provided. This project describes the IoT based power monitoring system that is capable to measure and analyze the electrical parameters such as voltage, current, active power, and energy consumption of loads. IoT based software application ‘ThingSpeak’ is used to obtain the real-time electrical data of consumers. Based on this data, the consumer and electric power companies in the SG paradigm can better manage their consumption to reduce billing costs.
