Smart grid has become one hot topic at home and abroad in recent years. Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) has applied to lots of fields of smart grid, such as monitoring and controlling. We should ensure that there are enough active sensors to satisfy the service request. But, the sensor nodes have limited battery energy, so, how to reduce energy consumption in WSNs is a key challenging. Based on this problem, we propose a sleeping scheduling model. In this model, firstly, the sensor nodes round robin is used to let as little as possible active nodes while all the targets in the power grid are monitored; Secondly, for removing the redundant active nodes, the sensor nodes round robin is further optimized. Simulation result indicates that this sleep mechanism can save the energy consumption of every sensor node.
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.
