Traditional power grids are being transformed into Smart Grids (SGs) to address the issues in existing power system due to uni-directional information flow, energy wastage, growing energy demand, reliability and security. SGs offer bi-directional energy flow between service providers and consumers, involving power generation, transmission, distribution and utilization systems. SGs employ various devices for the monitoring, analysis and control of the grid, deployed at power plants, distribution centers and in consumers' premises in a very large number. Hence, an SG requires connectivity, automation and the tracking of such devices. This is achieved with the help of Internet of Things (IoT). IoT helps SG systems to support various network functions throughout the generation, transmission, distribution and consumption of energy by incorporating IoT devices (such as sensors, actuators and smart meters), as well as by providing the connectivity, automation and tracking for such devices. In this paper, we provide a comprehensive survey on IoTaided SG systems, which includes the existing architectures, applications and prototypes of IoT-aided SG systems. This survey also highlights the open issues, challenges and future research directions for IoT-aided SG systems. energy in accordance with the needs of the consumers within the constraints of power systems. Nearly, all the generation, transmission and distribution of electrical energy is owned by the utility companies who provide electrical energy to consumers and bill them accordingly to recover their costs and earn profit.The traditional power grid worked very well from its inception in 1870 until 1970 [1]. Even though the consumers' demand for energy grew exponentially, it was still rather predictable. However, there has been a dramatic change in the nature of electrical energy consumption since 1970, as the load of electronic devices has become the fastest growing element of the total electricity demand and new sources of high electricity consumption have been developed, such as Electric Vehicles (EVs). The power grids endure a significant wastage of energy due to a number of factors, such as consumers' inefficient appliances and lack of smart technology, inefficient routing and dispensation of electrical energy, unreliable communication and monitoring, and most importantly, lack of a mechanism to store the generated electrical energy [2]- [4]. Furthermore, power grids face some other challenges as well, including growing energy demand, reliability, security, emerging renewable energy sources and aging infrastructure problems to name a few.In order to solve these challenges, the Smart Grid (SG) paradigm has appeared as a promising solution with a variety of information and communication technologies. Such technologies can improve the effectiveness, efficiency, reliability, security, sustainability, stability and scalability of the traditional power grid [5]. SG differs from traditional power grids in many aspects. For instance, SG offers a bi-directional communicat...

“…This changes the urban energy sector from a set of centralised supplies and decentralised demands to an interconnected set of distributed supply and demand networks. The central part to be played by IoT in the future development of these interconnected systems and smart grids is emphasised in [124].Based on a Malaga use-case, [125] highlights the importance of voltage regulation strategies with a large renewable penetration. This is an area where demand response [126] and coordination [65] can play a significant role.…”

Within the context of the Smart City, the need for intelligent approaches to manage and coordinate the diverse range of supply and conversion technologies and demand applications has been well established. The wide-scale proliferation of sensors coupled with the implementation of embedded computational intelligence algorithms can help to tackle many of the technical challenges associated with this energy systems integration problem. Nonetheless, barriers still exist, as suitable methods are needed to handle complex networks of actors, often with competing objectives, while determining design and operational decisions for systems across a wide spectrum of features and time-scales. This review looks at the current developments in the smart energy sector, focussing on techniques in the main application areas along with relevant implemented examples, while highlighting some of the key challenges currently faced and outlining future pathways for the sector. A detailed overview of a framework developed for the EU H2020 funded Sharing Cities project is also provided to illustrate the nature of the design stages encountered and control hierarchies required. The study aims to summarise the current state of computational intelligence in the field of smart energy management, providing insight into the ways in which current barriers can be overcome.

“…The requirement of an energy efficient communication model has gained significant attention from researchers in recent years. An important attribute of 5G in solving this issue is green communication [111][112][113][114][115][116][117][118]. This is achieved by finding the minimum number of small cells that are required to be active at various times in order to meet user demand as well as minimize the power consumption.…”

Wireless cellular networks are emerging to take a strong stand in attempts to achieve pervasive large scale obtainment, communication, and processing with the evolution of the fifth generation (5G) network. Both the present day cellular technologies and the evolving new age 5G are considered to be advantageous for the smart grid. The 5G networks exhibit relevant services for critical and timely applications for greater aspects in the smart grid. In the present day electricity markets, 5G provides new business models to the energy providers and improves the way the utility communicates with the grid systems. In this work, a complete analysis and a review of the 5G network and its vision regarding the smart grid is exhibited. The work discusses the present day wireless technologies, and the architectural changes for the past years are shown. Furthermore, to understand the user-based analyses in a smart grid, a detailed analysis of 5G architecture with the grid perspectives is exhibited. The current status of 5G networks in a smart grid with a different analysis for energy efficiency is vividly explained in this work. Furthermore, focus is emphasized on future reliable smart grid communication with future roadmaps and challenges to be faced. The complete work gives an in-depth understanding of 5G networks as they pertain to future smart grids as a comprehensive analysis.Energies 2019, 12, 2140 2 of 17 a need for an information system network that covers all the substations connected with the user facilities and the utilities. This provides the required system analysis with the needed reliable communication systems, which is an important building block of smart grid visibility.According to the communication standards, different communication technologies [11,12] can be classified based on either wired and wireless communications. Presently, wireless communications are preferred over wired communications for various reasons and in distinct applications with the reliability of cost at lower rates. This enhances infrastructure and provides readily available connections, even in remote areas. There are diverse factors, such as operational costs, environmental concerns, and availability of resources, to consider when choosing a proper, stable communication system. The voluminous and steady growth of communication technology over past decades is clearly explained in Figure 1. The development of new communication infrastructure with the existing wireless technologies can be more advantageous in smart grids. This provides advanced infrastructure where the need to spend additional cost and time [13] can be avoided. This establishes up-gradation of new wireless communication technologies for future smart grid communication systems [14][15][16][17][18][19]. For the past four decades-and marching towards the new wave of the technological era-growth of communication technologies has been an inevitable part of all modes of applications. To address prominent issues for developing new generation cellular communications, certain para...
