118 258. Augmenting Live Sensor Data Stream into Digital Twins of the Smart Buildings This project focuses on connecting real-time IoT sensor data to digital twins. The system collects live data from IoT sensors and streams it into a digital twin, allowing users to see and interact with an up-to-date virtual version of the real-world environment. The project ensures seamless data transmission from sensors to digital twins and provides a clear visual representation of the collected data. By linking real-world data with digital models, this project helps improve the monitoring, decision-making, and maintenance of these smart buildings.

Tidal energy offers a predictable and sustainable power source, making it a promising alternative to fossil fuels. The turbine is engineered for optimal efficiency and durability, featuring an aerodynamically refined blade profile and a power transmission system. It undergoes testing in simulated tidal conditions to assess operational performance. The results provide valuable insights into improving turbine efficiency for real-world applications. This project contributes to the development of sustainable and renewable energy solutions.
