Conclusion
This paper focuses on the automation of boiler processes in thermal power plant using IoT. To the extent of the current knowledge, the paper represents a wonderful idea along with the complete flow of data from one end of the system to the other end. Considering the previous works being done in the field of study, the paper also mentions about the drawbacks of those processes. Internet of Things is imagined a very advanced area for research purpose. But the origin as well as its exploitation is descriptively covered in the paper. It also briefs about the working principle of the boiler and actual requirement of labor in the power plants, which sometimes become mandatory. However, more attention is paid to the conversion of manual task to automated system; the other processes are also explained in a welloriented manner. Hence, the above mentioned details about the working of an automated system will provide help in maintaining the efficiency of the entire power plant without compromising with the cost required to manage the resources. The further study and research in this respect of industrial automation is indispensable.
