An IoT Based Framework for Monitoring Power Consumption in Smart Grids

The electrical power system grid in India, commonly referred to as the power grid, has been in operation for an extensive duration. During this time period, there were no significant advancements or alterations documented in the electricity grid infrastructure. The need for electrical power consumption is seeing a significant increase, but the current grid infrastructure is unable to meet these growing demands. In order to meet the demands of future power load, it is imperative to develop an enhanced system that possesses the qualities of reliability, security, intelligence, and efficiency. This study develops a power management system and explains its automation and functionality by utilising smart grid and IoT technologies. The research suggests a method for keeping an eye on consumer power use and controlling the use of electrical devices by putting in place a system that can identify voltage, current, and weather conditions in addition to alerting users in advance of possible problems with power usage. Future system improvements that are region-specific and intended to reduce loads and maximise system performance are made possible by the data collected.
