As other energy sources have become increasingly important, hydrokinetic turbines are one of the best energy production systems, and monitoring the state of hydrokinetic turbine power generation plays an important role. Ensuring proper condition-based monitoring, climate changes, stability aspects, turbine drive train status, and power outages should all be adequately monitored for remote turbines. Hydrokinetic turbines are capable of monitoring from any remote location. A condition monitoring system is a group of sensors that continuously collect performance data from hydrokinetic turbines, such as blade position, vibration, wind speed, humidity, temperature, structural alignment, drivetrain condition, vibration, rotor position, and generator state, and transmit it. If there is any error or omission, the controller responds promptly to avoid interruptions from any kind of defect that may damage and disrupt system performance. This is an innovative and novel idea, as the Internet of Underwater Things is a very niche area that is integrated with the hydrokinetics turbine, which is a comparatively new method of generating electricity. The erratic data or errors created as a result of disability are monitored for further processing of hydrokinetic turbines and related parameters. When the parameters are monitored, it will be easy to improve the performance of the turbine without causing any damage. The primary intent of the research is to establish an real-time monitoring system based on Internet of Things for a hydrokinetics turbine that will receive the data from the sensor network and send it to the seashore with the aid of an acoustic modem. From there, it will upload the data to the cloud for condition monitoring. The results shown in this paper are verified by node-red, an IoT-based platform that will show the data in real time.

Various building blocks of industry 4.0 comprise of autonomous robots, simulation, cyber security, big data analytics, augmented reality, additive manufacturing, Industrial Internet of things (IIoT), horizontal and vertical system integration. The IoT remote monitoring system fulfills the above-mentioned building blocks of industry 4.0. In many industries, data logging is not advanced with IIoT. The contact-less ultrasonic liquid level sensors, which use pulses of ultrasonic sound to calculate liquid levels by sending the ultrasound waves, which is versatile and extremely reliable. This system can be used for continuous level measurement of liquid and records real-time data, pre-alarm generation, and data logging. Moreover, this data is also made available on personal computers & smartphones with multiple authorized log-in facilities to enable accessibility continuously at any place, and at any time. Liquid level maintenance is the main problem associated with the chemical industries, petroleum industries, cement industries, etc. Thus, with the help of IIoT, the level could be maintained properly. Further, IIoT helps in data collection, alarm management, analysis, prediction of future values, and preparation of the report. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Internet of Things (IoT) based applications are gaining much of the limelight in recent days. This paper mainly focuses on how to run IOT based technologies with the use of software. IOT based technologies on today's era are gathered a lot of buzz. With the upbringing of ubiquitous computing, these devices could be powered from anywhere around the globe. IOT is powered by Artificial Intelligence for making quick and effective decisions as well as machine learning to make predictions based on the past data. A software emulation application interface which enables us to build logical networks which works as a blueprint for physical infrastructure as well. This paper mainly builds on the idea of running IOT based technology, making use of this software application. The software application is used by making a connection between different IOT devices and a home portal gateway. The main objective of Smart Home Networks is by connecting the devices at our home together so that one can control all the devices from a single device such as a mobile phone. It can be easily checked if the devices are functioning in a correct manner by going to the web browser and then typing the IP address of the Home Gateway. An interface then allows us to check the working of these networked devices. The model depicted in this paper indicates a Smart Home network including a solar panel and battery as well. For this, Cisco Packet Tracer software is used to control the IOT devices by connecting it to a home portal gateway. It is discussed elaborately how to run IOT devices in real life environment by connecting a solar panel and battery as well. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Driver's irresponsible driving habits lead to accidents on the road frequently. Schools, parks, hospitals, hills, and highways are where accidents occur most frequently. A prototype model of automatic speed control system of a vehicle has been developed in an effort to lower the frequency of accidents. Particularly around the restricted area, if the vehicle's speed rises, the proposed automatically adjusts the vehicle's speed to fit the surroundings. A radio frequency transmitter is mounted on the side of the road, and a radio frequency receiver is installed inside the car. The radio frequency transmitter broadcasts the needed limiting speed to the receiver installed inside the vehicle when it travels through the restricted area. By this implementation, the zone limit is communicated to the vehicle's microprocessor and vehicle speed is obtained by placing a speed sensor placed inside the vehicle. The microprocessor compares the received signal with the actual speed of the vehicle and it also controls when sparks are used to ignite the gasoline and when fuel is to be injected into the vehicle to increase speed or slow down using fuel injection technique. The fuel valve is integrated with the actuator and is managed by an electronic control unit in this fuel injection method. This technique uses a servomotor attached to the fuel valve to determine when to open the fuel valve partially or completely, to control the vehicles speed. Hence the vehicle speed is controlled and enhanced the safety measures to reduce the number of accidents. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
