Research on WSNs Topology and Application of Lightning Monitoring in Distribution Lines

Abstract:

Wireless Sensor Network (WSN) is used for such tasks as surveillance, widespread environmental sampling, security, and health monitoring widely. In this paper, a WSNs topology is proposed for lightning monitoring of distribution lines, which decides the number of nodes, routing protocol and power efficiency. The WSNs is deployed along the distribution line with nodes mounted on tall towers, which is used to monitor the lightning activities and accomplish fault diagnosis. At last, a monitoring system based on WSN is fabricated.
