Lifetime Improvements of Smart Sensors Maintenance Protocol in Prospect of IoT-based Rampal Power Plant

In the 21st century, the power quality and availability with customer demands to the society is the main challenging factor right now. Therefore, the gird monitoring system become a vital issue to monitor power grid system. The current smart grid system mainly focuses on smart metering system and improving the customer utility communication system. On customer management side, although those advancement provides an extra benefit, in spite of, the management of a grid system is one of the major dominating field in the era of Internet of Thing (IoT). From the field of industry and academia researches, Wireless sensor networks (WSNs) is getting to much popularity for monitoring power grid. Moreover, saving node energy enhance the lifespan of whole monitoring network. Due to lack of energy making policy, unnecessary activating all participate nodes consume node energy drastically, which is the main reason for shortening the lifetime of monitoring system. To solve this issue, maintenance technology provides the best opportunity to preserve node energy. This study investigates the issues that are associated with energy consumption using maintenance protocols in prospect of Rampal, Bangladesh power plant data. The modelling data has been collected through literature survey. Extensive simulation work has done for monitoring Rampal power using WSN. Finally, a comparative study of maintenance protocols were performed to maintain optimal network correction and thereafter extending the lifetime of monitoring network.
