Abstract

The energy infrastructure is one of the crucial aspect in realization of sustainable smart cities. In pursuit of achieving optimized energy supply and demand, the deployment of smart grids is becoming a strategic act in many countries. There is a void of telecommunication and information support in smart grid. Adopting Information and Communication Technology (ICT) and Internet of Things (IOT) will transform the existing grids into a smarter one. In this paper we propose a framework for smart-grid based on IOT and ICT solutions with an aim towards improving energy conservation, reducing operational cost and empowering the customer with usage analytics. A 3 tier cognitive architecture consisting of Perception layer, Attention-Memory layer and Decision layer is introduced. Various ICT and IOT solutions applicable at these 3 layers are discussed. This architecture can pave a way for future intelligent Grids there by upgrading level of urbanisation.
