A modern power grid with smart devices, smart houses, smart meter, smart vehicle and transmission lines connected through a network constitute smart grid. Unlike the traditional structure of power grid, a smart grid provides transparency between the customer and distributor and having a property of self-healing and self-monitoring. In this paper, an integrated approach of fog and IOT is presented as a backbone for smart grid structure. Wherein the micro-grid concept is proposed with fog to extend the feature to the end users and efficient load balancing and power consumption technique are being introduced. Private data of smart meter is secured by the use of RSA algorithm at the fog server. Further, smart street light is integrated with fog server for efficient load balancing.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
