Abstract The major role played by Internet of Things (IoT) in the energy sector cannot be overemphasized. Its application encompasses the development of smart grid, development of electric buildings and integration of grid and renewable energy such as wind turbines, solar panels, hydropower systems, and photovoltaic cells. However, amidst of all these prospects lie some pressing challenges facing the application of IoT technology in the energy sector. This work studied on the recent prospects of IoT in the energy sector and its challenge. Recent works related to the study have it that the most pressing challenges facing the application of IoT in the energy sector are the adoption and the security issues. It is on this light that the work has proposed a conceptual framework using the Technology-organization-environment framework for a sustainable application of IoT in the energy sector in future. Some recommendations for leveraging IoT in the energy industry are also stated in the work.

Abstract The Nigerian government has promoted industrial development based on the area of policy implementation. The development of policy and the use of renewable energy in terms of solar and wind energy generation is very significant because of the role of generating energy from green sources in reducing environmental pollution. The aim is to study the efficiency of the solar-wind hybrid energy generating system and the policy assessment of its operations in Nigeria. This research is conducted via a rigorous literature review that cuts across the solar-wind hybrid renewable energy system, grid integration, and energy storage for solar and windmill systems. An alternative analysis is needed to develop energy sources from solar and Wind sources and to provide a strong policy for utilisation. After identifying the challenges, the study further discusses the challenges and future trends of solar-wind hybrid energy generating systems. Furthermore, to propose a solution, the study examined using the Benchmarking process for sustainable policy development for hybrid power generations via wind and solar. From the findings, the northern section has considerable potential, with a daily horizontal irradiation of 7kWh/m2, making it suitable for large-scale solar photovoltaic (PV). The wind speed varies accordingly, but it has a high wind speed of close to 9.5 m/s, which is also viable for energy generation. Therefore, this study will recommend that the Nigerian government relate with other manufacturing industries that are stakeholders in the energy sector to build a sustainable energy generation farm made of solar and wind energy in Northern Nigeria. These results will increase the development and growth of Nigeria's economy and improve the lives of the citizens.
