conservation. However, industries can make energy conservation a regular process by continuously monitoring their daily energy consumption. Wind turbine monitoring system is a remote monitoring and remote control system for windmills. It helps to monitor some internal and external parameters and control the operation of windmills from a distance. It uses sensors to detect the condition around the windmill and a wireless network to send data to a central server. The central server can then generate reports on the condition of the windmill and send it back to remote locations. The data collected can be analysed to determine the efficiency of the windmill which can also help in predicting any potential problems that might arise, thereby helping in maintaining a healthy windmill. Moreover, the live information from the sensors is shown straightforwardly on a dashboard for distant checking. The control experts can get to this dashboard, whenever required. The information can appear on hourly, day by day, week after week, or month-tomonth premise. It is important for windmills to be monitored because they are expensive pieces of machinery that produce energy for electricity. If not monitored, they could break down and would need repair which would cost more money. The benefits of using IoT in windmill parameter monitoring system includes remote monitoring, reduced operating costs, increased efficiency, improved safety and reduced downtime for maintenance work. Also monitoring and comparing the actual performance outcome of the machine with the expected outcome can help the management to understand the reason for the gap using the data collected from the machine. Industries are using energy monitoring devices to track their energy usage. Typically, energy meters and electrical measuring devices are installed to track this consumption. However, the use of meter-based energy tracking systems has become more complex, requiring a large number of measuring devices. By using an automated system to monitor energy consumption instead of manual data collection, it not only saves time but also enables instant analysis of energy patterns.
a renewable energy source to meet the high demand for power. To produce environmentally friendly energy, it's crucial to implement an effective wind turbine tracking system. Due to their remote locations, monitoring windmills continuously is time-consuming and energy-intensive using traditional methods. However, using digital equipment that consists of sensors and controllers can produce accurate results. In the study "Wind Turbine Monitoring System Using IoT," researchers used sensors installed on a windmill to measure various factors such as temperature, humidity, pressure, object distance, object detection, and rain detection. The output data from these sensors is essential for tracking the wind turbine's characteristics, enabling prioritization and automation of security measures. For remote tracking, the sensor data is displayed on a dashboard, accessible to authorized personnel and recorded for future reference if necessary. Professionals can utilize this information for designing modifications based on material and geometric parameters.

1. INTRODUCTION To meet the requirements of energy necessity, wind energy is utilized as the substitute wellspring of energy. To utilize wind energy adequately, proper maintenance of wind mill is required. At some point shortcoming happens in windmill and it turns into a troublesome errand to reconfigure it. We need a decent method to do it. The Internet of Things (IoT) refers to a network of physical objects embedded with technology to communicate, sense, and interact with their internal states or the surrounding environment. Industries are always looking for ways to reduce energy costs and minimize energy waste, leading them to adopt various energy conservation methods. One of the most widely recognized approaches is performing industrial energy audits. These audits help to identify energy losses in equipment and heavy machinery that consume a significant amount of energy. The findings from energy audits provide detailed information on the industry's energy consumption. By reviewing energy audit reports, industries can take necessary steps to conserve energy. Unfortunately, energy audits are not conducted regularly in most industries,
