IoT-Enabled Smart Grids for Sustainable Energy Management in Hong Kong

Abstract

The rapid urbanization and growing energy demands in Hong Kong have intensified the need for innovative solutions in energy management. This paper explores the integration of Internet of Things (IoT) technologies in the development of smart grids to enhance sustainable energy management in Hong Kong. The study examines how IoT-enabled smart grids can optimize energy distribution, reduce wastage, and improve grid reliability through real-time data monitoring and analytics. By leveraging IoT sensors and smart meters, the proposed smart grid system aims to provide detailed insights into energy consumption patterns and facilitate dynamic energy management strategies. The paper evaluates the potential benefits of such systems, including increased efficiency, reduced environmental impact, and improved consumer engagement. Additionally, it addresses the challenges and considerations related to implementing IoT-enabled smart grids in the context of Hong Kong's unique urban and regulatory landscape. The findings suggest that IoT-enabled smart grids offer a promising solution for achieving sustainable energy goals and can significantly contribute to Hong Kong's efforts towards a greener and more resilient energy infrastructure.
