What is a 'Smart Grid' in the context of IoT applications?
Smart grids integrate smart meters (AMI), IoT sensors, and automated controls to optimize electricity generation, distribution, and consumption dynamically.
Which communication protocol standard is defined by ISO/IEC 15118 for Vehicle-to-Grid (V2G) Electric Vehicle (EV) charging communication?
ISO/IEC 15118 defines the international standard for V2G communication, enabling automated bi-directional charging and secure authentication.
What protocol is standardized by Open Charge Alliance (OCA) for communication between EV Charging Stations (EVSE) and Central Management Systems?
OCPP (e.g., OCPP 1.6 / 2.0.1) is the global open standard protocol for managing EV charging infrastructure.
In Smart Grid Advanced Metering Infrastructure (AMI), what device automatically records electricity consumption and transmits data to the utility provider via IoT?
Smart meters allow two-way communication between the meter and central utility systems for automated billing and grid management.
What is the function of a Software Agent in resource management for IoT networks?
Multi-agent systems (MAS) utilize intelligent software agents on IoT nodes to coordinate resource scheduling and energy management.
