Expert guidance on technologies to build the Internet of Things (IoT) from electrical engineering and power industry perspectives

IoT for Smart Grid presents advanced Internet of Things (IoT) technologies that are utilized in various aspects of smart electrical systems, especially monitoring, diagnosis, automation, and industrial evolution, from the point of view of both electrical engineering and power industry facilities and resources.

The book describes how IoT has expanded the use of wireless sensor networks (WSN) to play a vital role in connecting power industry facilities and resources to reduce energy consumption and costs. It also explores concepts of e-mobility that include smart parking, vehicle monitoring, and charging, and considers future challenges such as security and privacy concerns in transactive systems and scalability and standardization issues.

Later chapters describe communication protocols for transactive IoT, smart grid integration, cybersecurity challenges, smart energy management, and more. Relevant examples and practical case studies are included to enrich and reinforce learning.

Edited by a team of highly qualified professionals in the field, IoT for Smart Grid explores additional topics such as:

• MQTT, CoAP, and other protocols in transactive systems and WSN diagnostic tools for ensuring reliability and performance
• The role of sensors and actuators in transactive models and significance of transactive IoT in modern applications
• Remote control and automation in smart grids, utilizing IoT for demand response programs, load shifting strategies, and dynamic pricing models and IoT integration

IoT for Smart Grid is a definitive reference for identifying and applying advanced technologies and concepts and a highly valuable learning resource for students, researchers, consultants, and utility engineers in the design, use, and maintenance of electrical power systems.
