Abstract

Where Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) have been widely considered to be an important technology in the 21st century, the group of specialized devices or sensors that are used to monitor different environmental conditions and collect and organize this data at some central location, detect and measure the number of physical conditions such as humidity, temperature, sound, pressure, speed and direction, chemical concentrations, vibrations, pollutant levels. As a tremendous application ranging from monitoring, surveillance, forest fire detection, and many other applications, it is, therefore, a promising technology for achieving energy-efficient, reliable and cost-effective flawless monitoring and control in smart grids. state-of-the-art infrastructure for greater efficiency, reliability, and security with harmonious integration of renewable energy and alternative energy sources through automation control and modern communication techniques. Advances in the field of communication networking are becoming a very interesting and challenging area of networking, with sensors deployed in everyday objects to capture everyday information such as humidity, temperature, heartbeat, motion, and others. With these sensors and microcomputers, the object for integrating the Internet set of things (IoT), becoming intelligent objects. Therefore, this chapter aims to provide an overview of the WSN application in the smart grid, in intelligent transportation, in smart homes, in the same way as Smart Agriculture, and the joint use with IoT and Smart Cities, showing and approaching its success relation, with a concise bibliographic background, categorizing and synthesizing the potential of both technologies.
