 INTRODUCTION

Modern societies are seeing an unprecedented surge in

the number and range of devices deployed and used in
day-today applications, including mobile phones, tablets,
wearable devices, and other connected sensing and
actuation devices, collectively referred to as the Internet
of Things (IoT). They represent an unprecedented
opportunity to develop contextually intelligent
applications with far-reaching societal implications. On
an estimate, by 2020, 50 billion such devices are expected
to be deployed. Such a massive number of IoT devices
will be continuously or periodically making the data they
generate available on the Internet

 IoT Devices
Internet of Things (IoT) is an
ecosystem of connected
physical objects that are
accessible through the
internet. The ‘thing’ in IoT
could be a person with a heart
monitor or an automobile
with built-in-sensors. The
embedded technology in the
objects helps them to interact
with internal states or the
external environment, which
in turn affects the decisions
taken.

 WORKEING OF IoT DEVICES

Sensors/Devices
First, sensors or devices collect data from their environment.
 Connectivity
 Next, that data is sent to the cloud (what’s the cloud?), but it
needs a way to get there! getting data to the cloud.
 Data Processing
Once the data gets to the cloud, software performs some
kind of processing on it.
 User Interface
 Next, the information is made useful to the end-user in
some way.

 Big Data
Big data is a term that
describes the large
volume of data – both
structured and
unstructured – that
inundates a business on a
day-to-day basis. It’s what
organizations do with the
data that matters. Big
data can be analyzed for
insights that lead to
better decisions and
strategic decisions.

 Power sector

Power is one of the most critical components of infrastructure

.Crucial for the economic growth and welfare of nations.
India is world’s 4th largest energy consumer, accounting
for 3.4% of global energy consumption, with Maharashtra as
the leading electricity generator among Indian states.
Growing population along with increase in electrification and
per capita usage to drive the growth in power consumption to
1894-TWh in 2022
Indian power sector is undergoing a significant change that
has redefined the industry outlook. Sustained economic
growth continues to drive electricity demand in India.

 Power sector and IoT

Internet of Things (IoT) is billed as the next industrial

revolution, Industry 4.0.
 At a high level there are three use-cases of IoT in the
power sector:
a) Resilience-gathering data from sensors
 b) enablement- utilities use that data to actively manage
resources
c) optimization- stakeholders are able to make informed
decisions about power usage and generation.

 The IoT in the electric power industry

 SCADA(supervisory control and data acquisition) is

composed of sensors and actuators communicating with and
controlled by a central master unit, and provides a user interface
through a human-machine interface. The system captures time-
stamped data for later analysis.
 AMI(advanced metering infrastructure) is a two-way
communication system of smart devices on both the utility and
customer sides of the meter. Consisting of home area networks,
in-home displays, energy management systems, smart meters,
communications networks, and data management systems.

10
 Intelligent grid

 moderating demand and aging infrastructure to environmental

mandates and the proliferation of distributed energy resources
(DER)—requires an increasingly flexible and robust grid.
 The grid is evolving from a one-way system where power flows
from centralized generation stations to consumers, to a platform
that can detect, accept, and control decentralized consumption
and production assets so that power and information can flow as
needed in multiple directions

11
 The Information Value Loop

 The suite of technologies that enables the IoT promises to turn

almost any object into a source of information about that object.
 value loop is a loop: An action—the state or behavior of things in
the real world
  information passes through a netwok  so that it can be
communicated, and standards—technical, legal, regulatory, or
social—allow that information to be aggregated across time and
space.

 Maximizing its benefits!

 The power sector has been the beneficiary of two

recognizable early consumer-oriented applications of IoT:
Smart meters and smart thermostats
 The line monitoring and real-time control in all aspects of
the grid operating parameters
 Predict the health and impending failure of the assets, and
determine the optimal time to perform maintenance
IoT is optimal use of generation assets to increase the
efficiency of production.

 Conclusion

IoT can effectively integrate the infrastructure resources in

communications and electrical power system and improve the
utilization efficiency of the system.
  Building a smart grid means securing the future of energy supply for
everyone in a rapidly growing population with a limited power
production capacity. The grid topology needs to adapt and shift from a
centralized source to a distributed topology that can absorb different
energy sources in a dynamic way. There is a need to track real-time
energy consumption and demand to the energy supply: this goes with
the deployment of more remote sensing equipment capable of
measuring, monitoring and communicating energy data that can be
used to implement a self-healing grid, increase the overall efficiency,
and increase the level of self-monitoring and decision making.
