Abstract

The metamorphosis of the traditional power grids into intelligent and autonomous energy systems has become mandatory considering the growing integration of renewable energy sources, electric vehicles as well as distributed energy sources. Current Internet of Things (IoT) technology is important in facilitating real-time monitoring and control of smart energy systems. Nevertheless, the current communication technologies, including LTE and 5G, are limited to ultra-low latency, massively connecting, and however, not integrating intelligences. The 6G wireless communication is hoped to overcome these limitations by providing terahertz communication, AI-native networking, and near-zero latency. In this paper, a Smart Energy IoT Infrastructure 6G-enabled is proposed as a proposal that will be connected to the next-generation power systems. The suggested architecture incorporates IoT sensing, 6G communication, systems edge intelligence, and AI-based energy management. The performance assessment shows that there are great advances of latency, scale, energy efficiency, and fault detection quality than 5G-based systems. The findings verify the hypothesis that 6G-based Energy IoT infrastructure can be successfully used in future smart grids that can be sustainable and autonomous.
