<p class="Abstractandkeywordscontent"><span lang="EN-US">Nowadays, the vast majority of information monitoring in industrial plants is still carried out by wired technologies, in which the installation and maintenance cost is high. However, in outdoor applications, such as those used in the oil and gas industry, the use of Wireless Sensor Networks (WSN) is increasing due to mobility, reliability, and low cost of the sensor nodes that make up the network. Moreover, this solution reduces the risks of workers in classified areas (regions with high probability of accidents occurrence) to the extent that the equipment maintenance is optimized.  This paper proposes the development of the EEWES, an energy efficient wireless sensor network embedded system, which can be applied on industrial environments. This development approach significantly reduces the energy consumption of the sensor nodes by using a method that alternates sleep periods of the transceiver/sensor set with data transmission/reception periods, which reduces the duty cycle while keeping the desirable parameters of the service quality (QoS). The results presented in this paper will be confirmed by field tests.</span></p>

The article deals with the distributed system of control over technological objects in oil and gas industry based on a wireless sensor network. There was carried out the study of existing monitoring systems. It should be pointed out that these systems do not provide the required level of reliability. The article presents principles of designing the structure of sensor telecommunicating system, which is an optimal variant for enterprises of gas transportation system. There are proposed variants of constructing distributed systems for monitoring gas leaks on linear sections of gas main, which are based on wireless sensor network technologies. The authors consider a sensor network based on ZigBee technology. To calculate the attenuation of the sensor network signal at different height of the antenna, there was applied the Okumura model which allowed estimating the number of sensors necessary for building a reliable sensor network.
