IoT Narrow Band for Smart Grid

Because to their superior characteristics of low energy, long range, and large capacity, low energy wide area networking technologies, which are currently embracing a flourishing period with the expansion inside the Internet of things (IoT), can offer a completely new answer for present Smart Grid (SG) connectivity. The services and the gadgets must have rising of services connections that are secure and reliable for the mission-critical SG interactions (QoS). Due to the busy license-free spectrum, this is challenging for unregistered systems to accomplish. As a licensed LPWAN system, Narrowband IoT (NB-IoT) was created based on the LTE services and requirements already in place. As a result, it can offer cellular-level QoS, making it an attractive alternative for SG communication. In this study, we bring NB-IoT to the SG and compared its data rate, latency, and range performance with that of the current represented communication technologies (CT) inside the context of SG communication. The total needs of connections in the SG are thoroughly analyzed from both statistical and subjective aspects, and each is rigorously evaluated for NBIoT. We investigate the SG's typical uses in further detail and assess the viability of NB-IoT in those contexts. Additionally, using Monte Carlo models, the efficiency of NB-IoT in typical SG connectivity situations, such as urban and rural regions, is extensively assessed.
