  Cite as:

 

A wireless sensor network is a network which consisting of a large number of small sensors called node which has a low-power transceiver that used as a tool for gathering data in a variety of environments based on the network setup. The sensing data collected by each sensor within a network is communicating to a single processing center that uses all reported data to determine characteristics of the environment or detect an incident. The communication or message passing process designed to conserve the limited energy resources of the sensors for the data processing. This article discusses the various methods and operational challenges for batteries used on sensor nodes deployed in various environment with different sensor networks. The article proposed the implementation of the photolytic solar system for wireless sensor network. The proposed system is for in a case study Tanzania that is located Eastern of Africa due to low national grid power but with high energy available from the sunlight throughout a year.

Energy Efficient, Sensor Network, Energy Harvesting, Sensor Node, Network Lifetime

Regarding the WSN communication there is an important to consider the sensor nodes batteries lifetime. From review, investigation indicates that Lithium Rechargeable can have the shelf life for up to 4 years on its operation. The 4 years for operation for WSN is a huge numbers of years for various project using the WSN. The energy wastage and challenges for design the network has investigated to ensure the design of the network that considered difference factors to avoid unnecessary energy wastage and minimize challenges for the energy lifetime.
