Dynamic Wireless Power Transfer for Cost-Effective Wireless Sensor Networks using Frequency-Scanned Beaming
摘要： A simple adaptive 1D frequency-s scanning method is proposed for radiative Wireless Power Transfer (RWPT) systems in low-power Wireless Sensor Networks (WSN). As a proof of concept, a directive leaky-wave antenna that scans 1 W output RF power in the angular range from ±10° at 2.4 GHz to ±37° at 2.5 GHz, is used to power a WSN covering an area of 1.2 m x 1.2 m. It is shown that, using a frequency-scanned antenna, a wider area than using a non-scanned directive antenna can be powered without additional expensive equipment. The WPT protocol is described, showing that any sensor in the WSN can select the optimum transmission channel in the 2.4 GHz band, based on Received Signal Strength Indicator (RSSI) measurements, as the coordinator performs a scheduled frequency hopping phase. This maximizes the WPT beaming efficiency and thus the transferred DC power. The optimum channel selection can be performed periodically, which makes the system robust against channel state changes.

An Energy Efficient Clustering using Firefly and HML for Optical Wireless Sensor Network
摘要： An Energy Efficient Clustering using Firefly and HML for Optical Wireless Sensor Network. In this paper an energy efficient and dynamic cluster formation technique is proposed. Cluster formation is the first and the main priority for any Wireless Sensor Network (WSN). In our work, the proposed technique is combination of Firefly algorithm and Hierarchical Maximum Likelihood (HML) for an Optical Wireless Sensor Network (OWSN). It utilizes the unique property of Firefly algorithm and overcomes the problem of it by introducing HML in it. As a result the parameters of the network changes with respect to the requirement of suitable position of nodes. The power distribution in the nodes is also accurately done as HML works on the property of maximum likelihood property. It means the nodes become active when they are selected based on the closest value of source node to form a cluster. The cost function also minimized.

Design of Real-Time Slope Monitoring system using Time-Domain Reflectometry with Wireless Sensor Network
摘要： Slope monitoring systems using WSN is an efficient technique to track slope movements or failures. Instability in slope contributes greatly in hazards caused to lives and property in mining areas and operations. Electronic instrumentation like wire-line extensometers, piezometers, total stations etc. are used for sensing the slope stability. The available wireless monitoring systems like SSR, LiDAR, Laser monitoring techniques are more expensive. In order to overcome this, efficient and economically feasible measurement systems for slope monitoring are needed. This paper presents the design, development and field implementation of an online, cost-effective wireless system for real-time slope monitoring which gives visible warning of a possible slope failure. The system is designed on Arduino board as a platform with RF module (ZigBee) for wireless communication. Additionally, using python the database and GUI are implemented. The experimental field TDR data is also verified with the total station monitoring system.

Wireless sensing for a solar power system
摘要： Wireless sensing is an excellent approach for remotely operated solar power system. Not only to get the sensor data, such as voltage, current, and temperature, but the system can also have a proper control for tracking the Sun and sensing real-time data from a controller. In order to absorb the maximum energy by solar cells, it needs to track the Sun with proper angles. Arduino, H-bridge motor driver circuit, and Direct Current (DC) motor are used to alter the tilt angle of the solar Photovoltaic (PV) panel following the Sun while the azimuth and the elevation angles are fixed at noon. Unlike the traditional way, the tilt rotation is proposed to be stepped hourly. The solar PV panel is tilted 7.5? in advance of current time to the west to produce more output voltage during an hour. As a result, the system is simple while providing good solar-tracking results and efficient power outputs.

An On-Line Low-Cost Irradiance Monitoring Network with Sub-Second Sampling Adapted to Small-Scale PV Systems
摘要： Very short-term solar forecasts are gaining interest for their application on real-time control of photovoltaic systems. These forecasts are intimately related to the cloud motion that produce variations of the irradiance field on scales of seconds and meters, thus particularly impacting in small photovoltaic systems. Very short-term forecast models must be supported by updated information of the local irradiance field, and solar sensor networks are positioning as the more direct way to obtain these data. The development of solar sensor networks adapted to small-scale systems as microgrids is subject to specific requirements: high updating frequency, high density of measurement points and low investment. This paper proposes a wireless sensor network able to provide snapshots of the irradiance field with an updating frequency of 2 Hz. The network comprised 16 motes regularly distributed over an area of 15 m × 15 m (4 motes × 4 motes, minimum intersensor distance of 5 m). The irradiance values were estimated from illuminance measurements acquired by lux-meters in the network motes. The estimated irradiances were validated with measurements of a secondary standard pyranometer obtaining a mean absolute error of 24.4 W/m2 and a standard deviation of 36.1 W/m2. The network was able to capture the cloud motion and the main features of the irradiance field even with the reduced dimensions of the monitoring area. These results and the low-cost of the measurement devices indicate that this concept of solar sensor networks would be appropriate not only for photovoltaic plants in the range of MW, but also for smaller systems such as the ones installed in microgrids.

摘要： Energy savings optimization becomes one of the major concerns in the wireless sensor network (WSN) routing protocol design, due to the fact that most sensor nodes are equipped with the limited nonrechargeable battery power. In this paper, we focus on minimizing energy consumption and maximizing network lifetime for data relay in one-dimensional (1-D) queue network. Following the principle of opportunistic routing theory, multihop relay decision to optimize the network energy efficiency is made based on the differences among sensor nodes, in terms of both their distance to sink and the residual energy of each other. Specifically, an Energy Saving via Opportunistic Routing (ENS_OR) algorithm is designed to ensure minimum power cost during data relay and protect the nodes with relatively low residual energy. Extensive simulations and real testbed results show that the proposed solution ENS_OR can significantly improve the network performance on energy saving and wireless connectivity in comparison with other existing WSN routing schemes.

摘要： In this paper, a discrete version of weighted centroid localization algorithm (dWCL) is proposed for a wireless-sensor-network-based indoor positioning system. Under this architecture, a wireless device can estimate its own position based on the location information of connected wireless sensor nodes in the network. Unlike other weighted centroid localization algorithms, dWCL classifies the sensor nodes into a number of groups and assigns them weights taken from a set of discrete values. With the weighting function and the range information decoupled, the dWCL framework is flexible to adjust its performance in accordance with the requirements. Its capability to generalize some existing weighted centroid localization algorithms is also demonstrated. In addition, the performance of dWCL is characterized by the error distribution in terms of accuracy and precision. Further enhancement is achieved by optimizing the system parameters. Finally, the simulation results are presented to validate the proposed scheme and analytical framework.

摘要： Zonal occupant level is of great practical interest for building energy saving under normal operations and for fast evacuation under emergency. Though there are many existing sensing systems to estimate this information, the problem is still challenging due to the privacy concerns, the random human movement, and the accumulative error. In this paper, we consider this important problem and focus on infrared beam systems that monitor the zonal arrival and departure events. We make the following contributions. First, a rule (i.e., Rule 1) based on the stay time is developed to reduce the accumulated estimation error in each zone. Second, a rule (i.e., Rule 2) is designed to coordinate the estimation among neighboring zones. A decentralized estimation method is then developed using these two rules. Third, the advantage of this method is demonstrated through simulation results and ?eld tests. We hope this work brings insight to zonal occupant level estimation in buildings in more general situations.
