Design of Efficient Energy Management Solution for the Internet of Things-Based Smart Microgrid

Abstract:

Energy Management Solution (EMS) sounds familiar in recent days for its advantages and solution to monitor and analyse energy consumption. EMS plays a vital role in the energy sector and in the field with bottom-line business priority. This paper proposes an EMS solution to the smart microgrid through an Internet of Things (IoT)-based unified framework. The IoT-based unified framework provides energy efficient optimization and scheduling to the smart microgrid. This work also discusses the energy harvest and energy trading in the rural area where the smart microgrid has been installed. The advantages of the proposed IoT framework are it provides adequate control on the renewable energy resources and optimize the load scheduling based on the energy harvest. To prove the EMS using the developed framework, a simulation analysis has been carried out. The obtained simulation results show the essential requirement of energy management solutions and the optimal performance of the proposed IoT framework.
