Application of Internet of Things in Smart Grid Power Transmission

Utilizing Internet of Things (IoT) technology in smart grid is an important approach to speed up the informatization of power grid system, and it is beneficial for effective management of the power grid infrastructure. Disaster prevention and reduction of power transmission line is one of the most important application fields of IoT. Advanced sensing and communication technologies of IoT can effectively avoid or reduce the damage of natural disasters to the transmission lines, improve the reliability of power transmission and reduce economic loss. Focused on the characteristic of the construction and development of smart grid, this paper introduced the application of IoT in online monitoring system of power transmission line.
