Intelligent IoT Framework for Power Management and Predictive Maintenance in Critical Infrastructure

Abstract

Reliable power supply is essential in critical environments such as hospitals and industrial facilities, where outages can pose severe risks. This study presents an IoT-enabled intelligent framework for automated power management and predictive maintenance. The system integrates IoT sensors to monitor voltage, current, temperature, and vibration in real time, while machine learning algorithms (Decision Tree, Random Forest, and Neural Networks) analyze the data to predict equipment failures and optimize resource allocation. The framework also ensures seamless switching between power sources (mains, generators, and solar), guaranteeing uninterrupted supply to critical equipment. Experimental results demonstrate a 25% improvement in equipment uptime and a 30% reduction in energy costs compared to conventional systems. This scalable and reliable solution enhances operational resilience, reduces maintenance costs, and strengthens power management in critical infrastructure.
