Smart Grids and Internet of Things

Internet of Things (IoT) is a self-organized network which consists of sensors, softwarec and devices. The data is exchanged among them with the help of the internet. Smart Grids (SG) is a collection of devices deployed in larger areas to perform continuous monitoring and analysis in that region. It is responsible for balancing the flow of energy between the servers and consumers. SG also takes care of transmission and distributing power to the components involved. The tracking of the devices present in SG is achieved by the IoT framework. Thus, assimilating IoT and SG will leads to developing solutions for many real-time problems. The wireless communication protocol helps data transmission between the devices involved in IoTSG, and cloud and fog computing helps to process the edge servers with low latency and avoid congestion between the devices which are geographically dispersed. The voluminous data present in the edge servers needs an efficient big data analytics procedure, in order to avoid computation overhead, which in turn helps to save the energy of the devices deployed. In addition to energy harvesting, intelligence of the devices could be improved by incorporating Machine learning (ML) techniques. This also helps IoTSGs to automate the things in a sensible way for real time applications.
This exciting new volume covers all of these technologies, including the basic concepts and the problems and solutions involved with the practical applications in the real world. Whether for the veteran engineer or scientist, the student, or a manager or other technician working in the field, this volume is a must-have for any library.
