Imperative Role of Internet of Things in Power Plant Monitoring

Internet of Things is utilized by multiple applications in field of energy generation power plants. This study discusses about the implementation of IoT based smart systems with power plants i.e., solar power plant, wind power plant, geothermal power plants and hydropower plant. The study discuses about monitoring of the function parameters of power plants while resolving the real-time fault detection in systems. The paper further emphasizes on IoT features about better access of data, decision-making, sustainability, greater collaboration of technologies of sensors, micro-controllers and communication protocols; whereas self-healing IoT devices with auto calibration which improves reliability of systems gives the further point to researchers to create something new.
