A reliable and secure demand side control for an IoT-enabled smart power system using machine learning

Abstract

As the adoption of IoT-enabled smart power systems grows, the necessity for reliable and secure demand-side control becomes paramount. This paper introduces a robust demand-side management (DSM) engine that leverages machine learning to enhance both the reliability and security of smart grids. This paper presents a novel demand-side control system leveraging advanced machine learning techniques to optimize energy usage in smart power systems. The proposed system integrates IoT devices for data acquisition and employs machine learning algorithms to forecast energy demand, detect anomalies, and enable adaptive control strategies. By harnessing predictive analytics, the system anticipates consumption patterns and adjusts power distribution to maintain stability and prevent overloads. Moreover, robust security protocols are incorporated to protect the system against cyber threats and unauthorized access, ensuring data integrity and user privacy. Extensive simulation results demonstrate the system’s efficacy in reducing energy wastage, improving load balancing, and enhancing the overall reliability of the power grid. This research underscores the potential of combining IoT and machine learning to develop resilient and secure energy management solutions, paving the way for more sustainable and smart power systems.
