Abstract

Information and communication technology has wide applications; nowadays, the focus is on use of ICT services in multiple areas for easy and rapid communications. Renewable energy systems are in greater demand, and experimentation is going on in optimization, efficiency improvement, development of fault-tolerant architectures, etc. Recently, a trend is seen to use ICT-enabled services in renewable energy applications. In this manuscript, an overview of ICT-enabled services in renewable energy applications is presented. ICT-based facility makes easy towards monitoring the plant conditions, faults, abnormalities, end applications, etc. Advancements in IoT will be proved to be cheap, easy and user-friendly way for remote power plant monitoring.
