IOT Smart Energy Grid: Block Diagram

This project aims to create a smart energy grid using IoT to prevent blackouts. It uses an ATmega controller and WiFi to monitor energy grids and switch transmission lines to an active grid if one fails. It also monitors energy consumption and detects electricity theft by updating information on an IoT webpage for authorities. This allows for continuous power supply and a record of usage and theft.

IOT Smart Energy Grid

Energy generation companies supply electricity to all the households via intermediate
controlled power transmission hubs known as Electricity Grid. Sometimes problems arise
due to failure of the electricity grid leading to black out of an entire area which was
getting supply from that particular grid. This project aims to solve this problem using IOT
as the means of communication and also tackling various other issues which a smart
system can deal with to avoid unnecessary losses to the Energy producers.
IOT Smart Energy Grid is based on ATmega family controller which controls the various
activities of the system. The system communicates over internet by using Wi-Fi
technology. A bulb is used in this project to demonstrate as a valid consumer and a bulb to
demonstrate an invalid consumer. The foremost thing that this project facilitates is re-
connection of transmission line to active grid. If an Energy Grid becomes faulty and there
is an another Energy Grid, the system switches the Transmission Lines towards this Grid
thus facilitating uninterrupted electricity supply to that particular region whose Energy
Grid went OFF. And this information of which Grid is active is updated over IOTGecko
webpage where the authorities can login and can view the updates. Apart from monitoring
the Grid this project has advances capabilities of monitoring energy consumption and
even detect theft of electricity. The amount of electricity consumed and the estimated cost
of the usage gets updated on the IOTGecko webpage along with the Energy Grid
information. Theft conditions are simulated in the system using two switches. Switching
one each time will simulate a theft condition and also will notify the authorities over the
IOT interface. In this way the Smart Energy Grid project makes sure that the electricity
supply is continuous and helps in maintaining a updated record of consumption and theft
information which is quite a valuable information for the energy producing companies.
