Design, Deployment and Performance Evaluation of an IoT Based Smart Energy Management System for Demand Side Management in Smart Grid

The Smart Grid (SG) is the technological development that incorporates digital technologies and advanced communication methods to determine respond variations in electricity consumption order revolutionize power distribution, transmission, generation. In conventional electrical grid, customers remain unaware their energy usage patterns not only results loss but also money. consumers’ standards need be regulated improve efficiency (EE). SG utilizes demand side management (DSM) for savings by use of various approaches like financial incentives, subsidized tariffs, awareness alter demand. smart environments (SE), Internet-of-Things (IoT) evolving as a significant partner resource management. DSM must take advantage system (SEMS) developed on meters (SMs) modern IoT. Using SMs with IoT based makes SEMS more effective SG. This paper offers design, deployment, implementation, performance evaluation an SEMS, including well middleware module its related benefits. proposed operates online real-time (RT) load profiles (LPs) suppliers remotely. customers’ LPs allow disseminate regulate incentives incite consumption. Furthermore, these serves input developing numerous approaches. solution installed evaluated at 4 different locations Stylo Pvt. Ltd. Pakistan, which can communicate commands observe supplied utility. Moreover, RT impact using separate SM automated control heating, ventilation air conditioning (HVAC) shown terms case study presents efficacy IoT-based-SEMS.
