Abstract

The increasing demand for sustainable, reliable, and efficient energy systems necessitates innovative solutions. Internet of Things (IoT) technology has emerged as a promising tool, particularly in the context of Smart Grids, enabling enhanced control, efficiency, and sustainability. This paper aims to delve into the potential of IoT in revolutionizing power systems, with a focus on IoT-enabled Smart Grids as a pathway towards sustainable energy systems. We explore various IoT technologies applicable to power systems, discuss their roles in enhancing the functionality of Smart Grids, and provide tangible examples through case studies of successful implementations. Furthermore, we address the challenges involved in integrating IoT into power systems and propose potential solutions. Ultimately, we aim to provide a comprehensive overview of the transformative potential of IoT in power systems, emphasizing its critical role in steering the future of sustainable energy. The findings from this paper are expected to provide valuable insights for policymakers, energy providers, and researchers in their pursuit of sustainable energy solutions.
