Abstract
Internet of Things (IoT) is a connection of people and things at any time, in any place, with anyone and anything, using any network and any service. Thus, IoT is a huge dynamic global network infrastructure of Internet-enabled entities with web services. One of the most important applications of IoT is the Smart Grid (SG). SG is a data communications network which is integrated with the power grid to collect and analyze data that are acquired from transmission lines, distribution substations, and consumers. In this paper, we talk about IoT and SG and their relationship. Some IoT architectures in SG, requirements for using IoT in SG, IoT applications and services in SG, and challenges and future work are discussed.
Highlights
Before talking about the Internet of Things (IoT), it is worthy to explore the evolution of the Internet
The first experimental network of two computers was created between the TX-2 computer by Lincoln Labs of Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) and the Q-32 mainframe operated by the RAND corporations via a dedicated telephone line in 1965 [1]
In 2008, a group of high-tech companies launched the Internet Protocol for Smart Objects (IPSO) Alliance for the following goals [22]: 1. Interoperability: Organize interoperability tests that will allow members and interested parties to show that products and services using IP for Smart Objects can work together and meet industry standards for communication
Summary
Before talking about the Internet of Things (IoT), it is worthy to explore the evolution of the Internet. In the step in the IoT, objects can connect and communicate with each other via the Internet. IoT can be defined as a connection of people and things at any time, in any place, with anything and anyone, using any path and any service [7,8] This implies addressing elements such as convergence, content, collections (repositories), computing, communication, and connectivity in Inventions 2019, 4, 22; doi:10.3390/inventions4010022 www.mdpi.com/journal/inventions. Globalwhich network infrastructure of Internet-enabled physical and objects/entities with web services contains embedded. SG and is a data communications acquired which from transmission distribution substations, on acquired these data, SG network is integrated lines, with the power grid to collect and and consumers.
