An IoT-enabled smart grid: definitions, characteristics, challenges, and future directions
The IoT-enabled Smart Grid (SG) could be viewed as a large Cyber-Physical-System (CPS). The Smart Grid is considered to be part of the vital critical infrastructure for many communities worldwide. Globally, the energy market is considered the biggest market for any country to grow economically and therefore Smart Grids are one of the biggest applications of IoT. The evolution of an Internet of Things-enabled Smart Grid affords better automation, communication, monitoring, and control of electricity consumption. It is now essential to supply and transmit the data required, to achieve better sensing, more accurate control, wider information communication and sharing, and more rational decision-making. However, the rapid growth in connected entities, accompanied by the increased demand for electricity, has resulted in several challenges to be addressed. This research helps better depicts and understand the challenges of Smart Grid implementation. Identifying the challenges is considered a pre-requisite pillar to understanding whether the applied implementation and design approach can be employed to foster the IoT-enabled Smart Grid. To the best of the author’s knowledge, no previous study addresses sufficiently and comprehensively the challenges of the IoT-enabled Smart Grid.

Abstract
The IoT-enabled Smart Grid (SG) could be viewed as a large Cyber-Physical-System (CPS). The Smart Grid is considered to be part of the vital critical infrastructure for many communities worldwide. Globally, the energy market is considered the biggest market for any country to grow economically and therefore Smart Grids are one of the biggest applications of IoT. The evolution of an Internet of Things-enabled Smart Grid affords better automation, communication, monitoring, and control of electricity consumption. It is now essential to supply and transmit the data required, to achieve better sensing, more accurate control, wider information communication and sharing, and more rational decision-making. However, the rapid growth in connected entities, accompanied by the increased demand for electricity, has resulted in several challenges to be addressed. This research helps better depicts and understand the challenges of Smart Grid implementation. Identifying the challenges is considered a pre-requisite pillar to understanding whether the applied implementation and design approach can be employed to foster the IoT-enabled Smart Grid. To the best of the author’s knowledge, no previous study addresses sufficiently and comprehensively the challenges of the IoT-enabled Smart Grid.
