Summary:The electric power sector is making significant changes to the power grid in order to make the power supply more stable, meet rising demand, and optimize the use of distributed generators. The Internet of Things (IoT) and digital technologies are being used simultaneously in smart microgrids, a key strategy for future power grids. IoT -based smart energy monitoring and management systems are a type of technology that uses devices and software connected to the Internet to monitor, control, and manage the energy use of the micro grid. In this paper, IoT-based technology is used to create a smart energy monitoring, management, and protection system for a smart microgrid. The whole system can provide real-time monitoring, control, protection, and efficient management of the microgrid's energy resources, as well as ways to detect electric theft. Using wireless communication technology, the IoT platform can send and receive measured data from the control panel room. Once access permissions to the Blynk IoT cloud software for the ESP32 and ESP8266 modules for the system are set up, micro grid operators can simply monitor all electrical parameters and control relay modules of the control panel room, electric distribution poles, and energy meters using smartphones or personal computers at any-time from anywhere. So, the IoT-based smart energy monitoring, management, and control strategy presented in this research is set up to improve energy use efficiency, reduce energy costs, and improve grid stability through real-time monitoring, control, and protection systems.
