Smart Grid IoT
Smart grid IoT refers to the gathering of data, M2M learning, communication, and analytics for remote power management. IoT gives power utilities the following capabilities:
- Data collected in real-time from line sensors, users, and generators can be utilized to enhance control functions. The intelligence that IoT devices in the utilities collects and analyzes can be used to balance power loads, troubleshoot during outages, and manage distribution.
- IoT facilitates peak shaving. During periods of high demand, grid operators can activate alternative energy supplies from renewables or batteries to supplement their power needs.
- Power operators can harness a grid with self-repairing properties. Imagine a grid that detects and repairs issues without human intervention. Think of what would be possible if your grid was set up to alert you when it anticipated a possible breakdown.
Smart grids enable remote power management because they “think” intelligently, anticipating and identifying problems before they become an issue.
