Agriculture faces critical challenges caused by changing climatic factors and weather patterns with random distribution. This has increased the need for accurate local weather predictions and weather data collection to support precision agriculture. The demand for uninterrupted weather stations is overwhelming, and the Internet of Things (IoT) has the potential to address this demand. One major challenge of energy constraint in remotely deployed IoT devices can be resolved using weather stations that are energy neutral. This paper focuses on optimizing the energy consumption of a weather station by optimizing the data collected and sent from the sensor deployed in remote locations. An asynchronous optimization algorithm for wind data collection has been successfully developed, using the development lifecyle specifically designed for weather stations and focused on achieving energy neutrality. The developed IoT weather station was deployed in the field, and it has the potential to reduce the power consumption of the weather station by more than 60%.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
