Review on Smart Grid and Power System Management using IOT Technology for Enhanced Efficiency and Reliability

ABSTRACT: The Internet of Things (IoT) enables direct integration of physical systems with computer-based technologies, improving efficiency, accuracy, and reducing human intervention. A smart grid is an advanced power system that connects suppliers and consumers through two-way communication. It ensures efficient and economical electricity usage by incorporating distributed computing and real-time monitoring. In this project, we measure voltage, current, frequency, and temperature of the power grid. The data is sent to a control room using IoT technology. If the temperature increases beyond a safe limit, an automatic cooling fan is activated. A critical situation is indicated on an LCD display, and a buzzer alerts the operator. This system helps in power conservation, reduces human effort, and improves grid management. The smart grid enhances energy efficiency, prevents overuse, and ensures a balanced supply and demand system. This technology leads to a highly efficient and automated power management system..
