Abstract
The sudden increase in global energy demand has prompted the integration of Artificial
Intelligence and the Internet of Things into the utility grid. The synergy of Artificial
Intelligence and the Internet of Things in renewable energy sources has emerged as a
promising solution for the development of smart grids and a transformative catalyst that
restructures centralized power systems into resilient and sustainable systems. The stateof-
the-art of the Internet of Things and Artificial Intelligence is presented in this paper
to support the design, planning, operation, management and optimization of renewable
energy-based power systems. This paper outlines the benefits of smart and resilient energy
systems and the contributions of the Internet of Things across several applications, devices
and networks. Artificial Intelligence can be utilized for predictive maintenance, demandside
management, fault detection, forecasting and scheduling. This paper highlights
crucial future research directions aimed at overcoming the challenges that are associated
with the adoption of emerging technologies in the power system by focusing on market
policy and regulation and the human-centric and ethical aspects of Artificial Intelligence
and the Internet of Things. The outcomes of this study can be used by policymakers,
researchers and development agencies to improve global access to electricity and accelerate
the development of sustainable energy systems.
