Abstract: The smart grid (SG) is a huge step forward for revolutionising traditional grids. The features of the SG help in solving the complications related with the outdated grids. The SG has the potential to efficiently integrate renewable energy, provide two-way communication, and store electrical power. But still, the SG is considered to be in its nascent stage for getting the maximum benefits from SG. The problem lies within the automation, communication and management of SG. The key for solving this problem is the internet of things (IoT) which itself is a revolution in digital communication after computers and internet. The main focus of this paper is to confer about the IoT and SG systems. It has also shown the power and information flow within the SG systems. Its main aim is to understand the various benefits, features and application areas of IoT-based SG systems.
