Abstract
The smart grid has grown to be a major study topic due to the rising need for Renewable Energy Sources (RES) and the requirement to efficiently control energy usage. A smart grid is intelligent and energy-efficient could be developed by integrating cloud-based IoT technology with RES. In order to increase energy efficiency, reduce energy losses, and assure reliable power distribution, this work presented a unique technique for the incorporation of RES utilizing IoT and multilevel converters. The suggested method makes use of IoT devices’ capacity to gather, process, and analyze data in order to improve grid control and track the effectiveness of renewable energy installations. To ensure the grid operates steadily and effectively, a multilevel converter is utilized to optimize power distribution, voltage management, and power quality (PQ). The efficacy and viability of the suggested strategy are demonstrated by the results of its validation utilizing a model for simulation in MATLAB/Simulink.
