INTRODUCTION
• All the electricity that is known is supplied to households and other respective

containers via intermediate power transmission hubs known as electricity grids.

• But there is a potential of failure that would lead to blackouts.

• Using IOT as the means of communication and to also tackle various other issues,

which a smart system can easily deal with to avoid such scenarios that causes Energy

producers losses.

IOT Smart Grid
• It is based on ATmega family which controls a variety of
activities and communicates over Wi-Fi.
• If and when there is a failure in one of the Energy grids, the
system switches to another grid and facilitates uninterrupted
electricity to that particular region.
• This information of activities that take place is updated over
IOTGecko webpage.

• The system also facilitates advanced features such as
monitoring power consumption and even detect theft of
electricity.
• Theft conditions are simulated in the system using two switches
and the varying factor between them when switched will signify
a theft condition, notifying the authorities over the IOT
interface.
• By monitoring key indicators, such as energy availability and
consumption, down to the meter in real-time, utilities can help
their consumers save money.

Renewable Energy And IOT
• Unreliable transmission and distribution system obstructs the
growth of renewable energy.
• Evolution from one-way transmissions of uniform energy to
varying electricity supply from renewable sources has called
for a development in technology.
• And as we know, renewable energy depends on weather
conditions, so a system that is capable of automated switching
is crucial in order to derive an accurate output and billing.

5
 • IoT has enabled the creation of smart grids that support manual
switching between renewable and long-established power
plants to facilitate an uninterrupted power supply, thus
supporting the varying nature of renewable energy.
• In order to maximize energy production, most of the solar
panels use dual-axis trackers.

• These trackers calibrate the angle of solar panels and help them
receive the maximum solar radiation throughout the day.
• Can give 40% more electricity than a non moving solar panel.
• Lots of moving parts.
• Lower life-span and lower reliability.
• Expensive

• Manual : Some personnel are deployed who adjust the position
of the solar tracker at various times during the day.
• Passive : The solar tracker is fitted with a bulb of liquid, when
exposed to sun, gets heated up and evaporates. This volume
expansion pushes and tilts the attached solar tracker towards the
sun.
• Active : electric motors pr hydraulic cylinders are used to adjust
the position of the tracker.

Prognostics

• In systems such as power grids, real-time information is collected using

specialized electrical sensors called Phasor Measurement Units (PMU) at
the substations.

• The information received from the PMU’s must be monitored in real-time

for estimating the state of the system and for predicting failures.

10
Taking an example of Smart Wind
Mills
• The system collects real-time data from various sensors
installed in the micro-grid.
• The data is then transmitted to a cloud-based platform for
storage and analysis, which enables the efficient and scalable
management of large quantities of data.
• The collected data are then analyzed using complex algorithms
that would then in turn optimize energy output.
• These algorithms adjusts microgrid’s operations in real-time to
maintain a balance between supply and demand.
