Smart Grid in IoT-Enabled Spaces: The Road to Intelligence in Power

Rethinking Power with IoT-Enabled Smart Grids

The modern energy landscape is shifting—demand is rising, renewable sources are growing, and outdated grids struggle to keep up. Smart Grid in IoT-Enabled Spaces: The Road to Intelligence in Power brings together the key technologies, architectures, and security considerations needed to build energy systems that are more responsive, efficient, and resilient.

Authored by Fadi Al-Turjman and a team of expert contributors, this volume explores how the Internet of Things is transforming power generation, distribution, and consumption. From energy monitoring and harvesting to vehicle-to-grid storage and smart city integration, each chapter tackles a critical piece of the puzzle.

What You’ll Find Inside

The book’s twelve chapters map out a practical research agenda for the next generation of smart grids. Highlights include:

• An overview of IoT-enabled smart grid concepts and architectures
• Energy monitoring and harvesting techniques for grid-connected devices
• Storage systems and vehicle-to-grid (V2G) technology
• Data traffic management and mobile courier networks
• GIS and structural health monitoring for bridges in earthquake-prone areas
• Smart parking, medium access control, and demand response authentication
• Cyberattack analysis and security frameworks for IoT-enabled cities
