A smart microgrid is becoming a popular approach for power generation due to the scarcity of fossil fuel, increasing air pollution, increasing demand for cleaner energy resources, and better energy utilization. Presently, sensor technology, big data, and data analytics are the hot topics for research for optimizing business operations, such as efficient and balancing supply versus demand as customers connect to a smart microgrid. These advancements based on smart devices and their connectivity via the Internet have given rise to what is now being known as Industrial Internet of things (i.e., industrial IoT or IIoT). These devices help to maximize operational efficiency, optimize business operation, and protect the system. This chapter presents detailed discussion of the concept of IIoT, history and applications of IoT, developments in the energy sector, introduction to renewable energy, role of IoT in developing …
