Internet of Things Based on Smart Grid

Smart grid is one of the features of smart city model. It is energy consumption monitoring and management system. Smart grids are based on communication between the provider and the consumer. One of the main issues with todays outdated grid deal with efficiency. The grid becomes overloaded during peak times or seasons. It is also possible to hack the system, and basically, take free electricity. By using smart grid consumer and owner gets daily electricity consumption reading and owner can cut electricity supply remotely through internet if bill is not paid. One more thing, the data collected from the smart meters should not be accessed by any unauthorized entities. In case meter tempering is happened then owner and consumer get message and then owner can take the action accordingly. Fitting the circuit on customer energy meter, from that energy consumption data can be acquired. After acquiring of data, that data can be updated on cloud service, so that consumer and provider can access that data through internet.

The main part of project is smart grid meter. When LED in smart meter gives 3200 blinks this means one unit is consumed. Second feature of this project is one micro switch which is fitted in meter. This is to prevent meter tempering. There is one hidden switching circuit in that, whenever any person tries to open the meter, a switch will get popup and controller sends the message to owner and consumer. Third feature of project is control meter; if bill is not paid by customer then owner can cut the meter. The fourth feature is to use Omron D6T sensors. The D6T thermal sensors that is able to detect the presence of stationary humans by detecting body heat and also be able to monitor the temperature of a room, which plays a major role in saving electricity.

The Smart Grid (SG), the intelligent power grid, could be seen as the largest instantiation of the IOT network in the next future. The aim of the smart grid is to keep a real-time balance between energy generation and consumption, by allowing a fine-grained monitoring and control over the power chain, This paper analyze the various accepted application requirements of Internet of Things deployed in Smart Grid and provides an effective proposal about diverse technologies and standards and of Smart Grid and it also provides an overview about several applications and driving factors of Smart Grid. Acquiring of data needs human resources, we can save this critical resource by using smart grid application.
