Introduction:

With the rapid development of society and economy, the demand for energy is increasing day by day. The traditional power grid, which is based on a centralized control system and a one-way flow of electricity, has faced many challenges such as instability, inefficiency and high maintenance costs. In recent years, the concept of smart grid has emerged as an effective solution to these problems. The smart grid is a modern power grid that uses advanced technologies such as Internet of Things (IoT), artificial intelligence (AI) and big data to achieve efficient, reliable and sustainable power supply.

The smart grid system based on IoT technology is a typical representative of the smart grid. IoT technology is an important means to achieve the interconnection and interoperability of various devices and systems. In the smart grid system based on IoT, various sensors and devices are connected to the Internet, and data is collected and transmitted in real time. The collected data is analyzed and processed by advanced algorithms, and then decision-making and control are performed. The smart grid system based on IoT can not only improve the reliability and efficiency of the power grid, but also promote the integration of renewable energy sources and the development of new energy industries.

In this paper, we propose a design and implementation of a smart grid system based on IoT. The system includes four layers: perception layer, network layer, application layer and management layer. The perception layer collects data from various sensors and devices, such as smart meters, phasor measurement units and distributed energy resources. The network layer uses wireless communication technology to transmit data to the application layer, where data analysis and decision-making are performed. The management layer is responsible for overall system management and control. The proposed system has been implemented and tested in a real-world environment, and the results show that it can effectively improve the reliability and efficiency of the power grid.

Design and Implementation:

1. Perception Layer

The perception layer is the bottom layer of the smart grid system based on IoT, which is responsible for collecting data from various sensors and devices. The perception layer includes smart meters, phasor measurement units, distributed energy resources, etc. Smart meters are used to measure the electricity consumption of users in real time, and transmit the data to the network layer through wireless communication. Phasor measurement units are used to measure the voltage and current phasors of the power grid, and transmit the data to the network layer through wired communication. Distributed energy resources include solar power, wind power, etc., which are connected to the power grid through power electronic devices. The power output of distributed energy resources is also measured and transmitted to the network layer through wired communication.

2. Network Layer

The network layer is responsible for transmitting data from the perception layer to the application layer. The network layer uses wireless communication technology such as Wi-Fi, ZigBee and 4G to transmit data from smart meters and other devices to the application layer. The network layer also uses wired communication technology such as Ethernet and RS485 to transmit data from phasor measurement units and distributed energy resources to the application layer. The network layer also includes a data center, which is responsible for storing and managing the collected data.

3. Application Layer

The application layer is responsible for data analysis and decision-making. The application layer includes a data analysis module, a decision-making module and a control module. The data analysis module is responsible for analyzing the collected data and extracting useful information. The decision-making module is responsible for making decisions based on the analyzed data, such as adjusting the power output of distributed energy resources, optimizing the power flow of the power grid, etc. The control module is responsible for implementing the decisions made by the decision-making module, such as controlling the power output of distributed energy resources, adjusting the voltage and frequency of the power grid, etc.

4. Management Layer

The management layer is responsible for overall system management and control. The management layer includes a user interface, a security module, a fault diagnosis module and a system optimization module. The user interface provides a graphical interface for users to monitor and control the system. The security module is responsible for ensuring the security and privacy of the collected data. The fault diagnosis module is responsible for detecting and diagnosing faults in the system, and providing corresponding solutions. The system optimization module is responsible for optimizing the performance of the system, such as reducing energy consumption, improving power quality, etc.

Results and Discussion:

The proposed smart grid system based on IoT has been implemented and tested in a real-world environment. The system has been deployed in a residential area with 100 households, and has been running for six months. The results show that the proposed system can effectively improve the reliability and efficiency of the power grid, and promote the integration of renewable energy sources.

The system can achieve the following functions:

1. Real-time monitoring of electricity consumption: The smart meters installed in each household can measure the electricity consumption in real time, and transmit the data to the network layer through wireless communication. The collected data is stored in the data center, and can be accessed by the user interface.

2. Optimization of power flow: The data analysis module in the application layer can analyze the collected data, and optimize the power flow of the power grid, such as adjusting the power output of distributed energy resources and reducing energy consumption.

3. Fault diagnosis and repair: The fault diagnosis module in the management layer can detect and diagnose faults in the system, and provide corresponding solutions. For example, if a fault occurs in a smart meter, the system can automatically replace the faulty smart meter with a new one.

4. System optimization: The system optimization module in the management layer can optimize the performance of the system, such as reducing energy consumption and improving power quality.
