As smart grids develop rapidly, low-cost monitoring systems for pole-mounted transformers increase in demand. Even though battery-powered wireless monitoring systems appear to provide optimal solutions, they consume large amounts of energy for continuous sampling and data transmission. Operation and maintenance costs then increase owing to reduced battery lifetime and battery replacement. To overcome this problem, this paper presents an event-driven battery-powered wireless monitoring system that monitors abnormalities of a transformer and transmits data only if an abnormality occurs. When the proposed event controller detects an abnormality, it enables a root mean square (RMS) converter and a peak detector for sampling and transmitting the maximum RMS value of the abnormal signal and then falls into sleep mode until the next event to save energy. Simulation and experimental results show that the proposed system enhances battery lifetime by up to two orders of magnitude compared to a conventional battery-powered wireless monitoring system.

A structural health building monitoring system is invented, achieved and attempted using Wireless Sensor Networks .Ambient vibration of the structure is audited and is implemented to identify the health status of the structure. With WSN, low cost monitoring is possible without intruding with the action of the structure. In this cluster head is heavily loaded since it gathers information from all other member nodes and integrate then and forward to sink either directly or through intermediate other cluster head. I near future cluster head drain and we need to select another cluster head via re clustering. The re clustering also led to energy loss to select the cluster head based on weight age value.WSN consumes less power and it is used to track slow targets .WSNs covers only small distance. WSN has high failure rate and we have to plant excessive nodes. Hence redundant nodes dissipate more power. To avoid this, sleep mode and scheduling algorithm is used in this paper. The objective of the paper is to design a scheduling algorithm to trace data with target rate. The proposed scheme is a kind of an adaptive/Cyclic on–off scheduling scheme in where sensors nodes use only local information to make scheduling decisions.

For the railway wireless monitoring system, energy efficiency is important for prolonging the system lifetime and ensuring the successful transmission of the inspection data. In general, decreasing the size of the data packet is conductive to declining the transmission energy consumption. Hence, the inspection data packets should be processed before being transmitted. However, the energy consumption of data processing may also be considerable, especially for the vision-based monitoring system. Therefore, we propose an optimization methodology to address the trade-off of the energy usage between data processing and transmission in railway wireless monitoring systems. In addition, the various data types and transmission distances of the sensors may cause the unbalanced energy consumption, and it will shorten the system lifetime due to the failure of some sensors. To address this challenge, in our proposed optimization framework, we adopt customized compression ratios for each sensor to balance its energy consumption. On this basis, the system lifetime can be extended by minimizing and balancing the energy consumption simultaneously. Finally, we use several generalized numerical examples to demonstrate the superiority and practicality of the proposed strategy. Compared to previous methods in the literature, our proposed approach can increase service lifetime of wireless monitoring systems using equal and less energy.


In the present work, we have designed a health monitoring system based on Node MCU to monitor temperature, heart rate and oxygen saturation level (SpO2) signals, sensed by respective sensors. The necessary signal conditioning circuits have been designed in our laboratory using off-the shelf electronic components. A Data acquisition system has been designed using ESP 32 Node MCU. The designed system is a low-cost alternative to the commercially available USB controller based health monitoring systems. Firmware has been developed and deployed into the Node MCU using arduino IDE. The acquired data has been displayed on OLED display. The result shows maximum errors in the measured parameters within 2%. The designed system helps to achieve portability, high functionality and low cost which makes it an easy accessible tool for public, hospital, sports healthcare and other medical purposes.

Abstract Monitoring systems are essential for the energy-efficient and comfortable operation of buildings. However, today's monitoring solutions are relatively expensive in terms of purchase, installation, and maintenance. At the same time, there is a need for low-cost monitoring systems, especially for smaller buildings. To address this need, a novel do-it-yourself, low-cost building monitoring system based on open technologies has been developed. The system is intended to be assembled and put into operation by laymen in accordance with given instructions. Accordingly, all work stages must be simple and obvious. This paper describes the low-cost monitoring system and its prototype implementation.

The presented paper describes the creation of a “low-cost” monitoring security system based on the IoT platform connecting to the cloud. We focused on heat exchanger station, which is used in a block of flats. A simulation solution was devel-oped together with 3D visualization and a practical test. Final monitoring system informed the operator about the current state of the heat exchanger station and operator can intervene in time so that heat exchanger station is not suddenly damaged or cause some damage. Such monitoring system will find application in practice, but also in the teaching process, as the preparation of graduates for the modern monitoring systems, which are increasingly used in practice, will be improved. The presented paper is a scientific and methodological publication.

Weather controlled laboratories such as blood banks, plasma centers, biomedical, research, pharmacy and healthcare always require a portable, low cost and web-based centralized wireless monitoring system. However, it has become more stringent to monitor various weather controlling devices of these laboratories in order to reduce the risk of non-compliance with accreditation requirements. In literature, it is inferred that the majority of existing event detection approaches relies only on precise value to specify event thresholds, but those values cannot adequately handle the imprecise sensor reading. Therefore, in this work, one of the soft computing technologies, fuzzy logic is adopted to demonstrate that fuzzy rule based value significantly improves the accuracy of event detection. The prototype built is tested in a physical laboratory as a personal mobile weather station for monitoring and analyzing the environmental conditions using fuzzy simulated values.
