Smart grids and the Internet of Things (IoT) are rapidly evolving and intricate domains that are constantly evolving and advancing. This comprehensive new volume delves into the cutting-edge concepts and technologies associated with these technologies, while also exploring innovative ideas and emerging novel technologies and processes.

The Internet of Things (IoT) is a self-organized network comprising sensors, software, and devices that seamlessly communicate and exchange data through the internet. On the other hand, smart grids (SG) are a collection of devices strategically deployed in larger areas to perform continuous monitoring and analysis within that region. Their primary responsibility is to balance the flow of energy between servers and consumers, ensuring efficient power distribution. Additionally, smart grids take care of transmitting and distributing power to the various components involved. The tracking of devices within smart grids is facilitated by the IoT framework, enabling the integration of IoT and SG to develop solutions for real-time problems.

This exciting new volume encompasses all these technologies, providing a comprehensive overview of the basic concepts, challenges, and solutions involved. Whether you are a seasoned engineer, scientist, student, manager, or technician working in the field, this volume is an essential resource for your library. It covers a wide range of topics, including IoT and SG-integrated frameworks, their components and technologies, energy harvesting and sustainable solutions for IoTSGs, privacy and security issues in data processing within IoTSGs, and case studies involving IoTSGs with cloud and fog computing.

By delving into these subjects, this volume aims to provide a comprehensive understanding of the current state-of-the-art in smart grids and IoT, equipping readers with the knowledge and tools necessary to navigate these evolving domains and contribute to their development.
