IoT: Powering The World With Renewable Energy

Renewable energy is totally dependent on weather conditions and seasonal characteristics. Their dependence on natural occurrences makes them variable in nature and incompatible with the existing energy grids.

Solar is the most lucrative, efficient, and fastest-growing renewable source of energy. Based on calculations, we can fulfil the global energy demands if we harness just 1 percent of the total solar energy. However, exploiting even this minute amount is very difficult due to several inefficiencies present in energy transmission and distribution systems.

The technology of IoT and the integration of specially built devices has made the traditional grids smart. The smart grid is just a terminology that tells about the capabilities of the grid, once it is infused with IoT. What’s really smart is the use of smart meters in the end juncture of the distribution system that allows utilities to monitor the consumption of electricity in particular localities or neighborhoods.

The IoT has enabled the seamless integration of renewable energy sources into the traditional power grids, resulting in its increased adoption. This inclusion has empowered a cleaner and greener future, driven by an uninterrupted power supply.
