WSN Based Energy-Efficient Protocols for Smart Grid: A State-of-Art Review

The topic of research is wireless sensor network in smart grid systems for monitoring of power system parameters’ safety and stability. The Process of selecting a path for network traffic to travel from its source to its destination across network is difficult, as the unit of data are routed to the base station through a number of nodes. It is important that efficient packet routing with minimal energy consumption must be followed so that the life of the network and battery’s remaining power can be extended. We begin by reviewing literature on location based, data centric and then details in hierarchical base protocols such as LEACH, power efficient PEGASIS, threshold sensitive TEEN, adaptive periodic threshold sensitive APTEEN and cluster based routing HEED. Despite the fact that it can help to increase energy efficiency, the review’s findings indicate that energy consumption is the main issue with WSN.
