In a smart grid system, utilizing Internet of Things technologies is an important approach to speed up the level of informatization of the system, and it is beneficial for effective management of the power grid infrastructure. Based on the construction and development features of the smart grid in China, this paper introduces the architecture of Power Internet of Things (PIoT), advanced technologies of PIoT, and the applications of PIoT in power generation, transmission, transformation, distribution and consumption in the smart grid.
