The application of IOT in power systems

Based on the analysis of smart grid's framework, the key functions and requirements of the smart grid are discussed. The concept of the internet of things in power systems(IOTIPS) is set forth using the IOT and RFID techniques. The definition, the functions, the contents and the key techniques are discussed. IOTIPS is an intelligent network based on network technology, database technology, communication technology and so on. Its application will significantly improve the power system's stability and security, as well as protect the environment and meet the sustainable development requirements. Moreover, the level of the power system will be promoted.
