Abstract—IOT based Smart Grid is an evolution of the existing electricity grid. Advancement in high speed communication and low cost sensor coupled with the increased deployment of the advanced provide utilities with better information to manage the grid. It comprises of a twoway communication where electricity and information are exchanged by the consumer and utility to maximize efficiency. The control center ensure the smart grid optimize circuit VAR flow and voltages, there by power theft location can be monitored with help of the smart transformers and smart energy [1] meters.
pi communication hub, which has a wireless connection to every smart meters in that area. The zigbee module which transfer the smart meter data to the hub. The entire digital data is sent to the azure cloud platform (internet) through raspberry pi. The electrical bills a automatically generated in the internet(cloud). This system aslo helps the consumers to monitor their daily usage of electricity through internet. He can able to control the heavy appliances to reduce his electrical billing. The communication between the consumer and utility increases the efficiency and reliability.
INTRODUCTION
BLOCK DIAGRAMS Introducing Raspberry Pi in the electrical grid makes the grid as smart grid. The important information are sent to cloud (Azure), collected by various sensors by using Raspberry Pi. So the Data Analytics is performed by the Azure cloud, which gives the performance and characteristics of the electrical grid. This paper proposes Smart grid systems consist of digitally based sensing, communications, and control technologies and field devices that function to coordinate multiple electric grid processes. A more intelligent grid includes the application of information technology systems to handle new data and permits utilities to more effectively and dynamically manage grid operations. The information provided by smart grid systems also enables customers to make informed choices about the way they manage energy use.

The smart grid is more advance than the normal electric grid. The demand of electric power is increased today. In some of the area’s the power theft is frequently done, this can be reduced if we area of power theft. The identification of the location can be done as a part of smart grid [2] through VAR acquisition. By using the IOT technology the grid can be digitalized and detect every changes in it. The system has a two communication between the consumer and utility. The Raspberry Pi which is used for controlling and data transfer between sending end and receiving end side through cloud.
