This project document describes an IOT based sensor network for smart grid communication. The network monitors voltage, current, and temperature readings from the power grid and transmits the data to ThingSpeak, a cloud-based software. Sensors are placed throughout the power generation, transmission, and distribution systems. If faults are detected, notifications are sent. Readings from the sensors are displayed on ThingSpeak and can be used for power monitoring and control. The project was successfully designed and tested with advanced ICs to integrate all hardware components. It could potentially be used for improved power monitoring and control methodologies in the future.

ABSTRACT
Smart Grid is the digital technology that allows for two-way
communication between the utility and its customers, and the sensing
along the transmission lines is what makes the grid smart.And also the
next generation of electric grids, requires the deployment of monitoring
and control systems to enhance their operational efficiency.
They bring significant advantages such as, (rapid deployment, low cost
and easy scalability).However, the deployment of WSNs in smart grids
have brought new challenges mainly due to the electric grid features.

TRANSMISSION GRID SYSTEM
The smart transmission grid can be regarded as an
included system that functionally consists of three
interactive components: smart control centers, smart
power transmission networks, and smart substations.
The main role of smart grid in transmission grid is that
it shall take in :
Digitalization (monitoring & controlling)
Coordination
Self Healing process

DISTRIBUTION GRID SYSTEM
Distribution grid system, it is the final stage of electrical grid
which helps in distribution of electric power to homes ,
industries , and to many other consumers .
Distribution both delivers the electric power to the every
user on the grid and once delivered, it also reduces power
to safe customer-usable levels.

MICRO GRID SYSTEM
The Micro grid is a combined grouping of electricity
generations , energy storages , and loads .
The users in a micro grid can produce low voltage electricity
using distributed generation, such as solar panels, wind
turbines, and fuel cells.
