Internet of Things-Based Energy Management, Challenges, and Solutions in Smart Cities

Abstract

Smart cities have an attracted extensive and emerging interest from both science and industry with an increasing number of international examples emerging from all over the world. The promising and increasing trend in current computing, where it focuses on proper energy consumption leading to an increased life span of networks that uses interconnected devices that are technically referred to as the Internet of Things (IoT). These devices facilitate close resource availability on the edge of the network with resource pooling. This study presents a comprehensive survey on the proper Internet of Things-Based Energy Management in Smart Cities. The study shows that the IoTs have increased energy consumption, further the summarized table presented shows the state-of-the-art proposed methods in managing energy on different girds like smart home, smart building, and smart networks among others.
