Objective of the Special Session
The major objective of this session is the bring in the emergence of Internet of Things and AI to
transform the power grids into smart grids. This broader aspect of energy sector can bring in high
requirement of energy storage technologies, demand response modelling at user side, renewable
energy generation. In this perspective, these new era technologies can provide more intelligence
and move the electric grids with dynamic control of grid assets, increase of operational safety and
moreover on reduction of maintenance cost. With respect of IoT applications in this arena looks
in a broad perspective of forecasting the asset failures, great deployment of smart energy
management. This AI and IoT technology can provide greater interest towards electric vehicle load
management, state of charge energy units. Furthermore, the privacy and cyber security are into
greater concerns in regard to cyber-attacks. This special issue mainly focusses on to provide AI
and IoT for smart grids with regard to network architectures, efficient power and communication
networks for operation and planning with realistic case studies.
