ZigBee Based Wireless Sensor Network for Energy Efficient Buildings

In recent years the problem of how to use the energy efficiently has attracted the attention of researches in a wide selection of fields including the buildings. Buildings in Europe consume 40% of the total energy[I], which is more than the energy demand of industry or transportation. The tendency shows that the total energy consumption has been rising since 1990 and it will continue increasing if strong actions are not taken. The eDIANA (Embedded Systems for Energy Efficient Buildings) project [2], funded by the European Commission through the ARTEMISIA framework, addresses the need of energy efficiency in buildings through innovative solutions based on networked embedded systems. In this paper, we considered an apartment (a Cell) where a umber of IEEE 802.15.4/ZigBee devices (hereafter denoted as nodes) are distributed in given positions and a personal area network (PAN), managed by a Zigbee Coordinator (ZC) located at the CDC, is formed in the Cell. Owing to the complexity of the application, different circumstances should be studied. For instance, when a eDIANA compatible device is turned on, the data transmitted by the iEi to CDC should be received with a certain reliability and a limited delay. Also energy consumption of iEi if it is battery operated could be an important issue. Therefore, to demonstrate the applicability of ZigBee to the eDIANA scenario, we evaluated.The increasing demand of oil and gas supplies frequently requires the design and execution of very large production and processing plants over remote locations with harsh environmental conditions and challenging logistics. The adoption of cabling to fully interconnect machines and monitor/control large number of processes is becoming unfeasible due to the high fluctuations of installed industrial wiring costs. The opportunity to replace cabling by deploying a wireless sensor network (WSN) is now becoming of strategic interest for most oil contractor projects. The installation of wireless sensors may give significant cost savings for a variety of typical plants such as revamping/expansions of existing facilities, storage tanks, utilities like water treatment, interconnecting lines, manifolds, high stacks, etc ... In addition, the full plant coverage with WiFi (or) WSN opens the door to many new applications which are going to be requested by the end users in the near future.here we deployed zigbee based WSN is less expensive and cost effective when compared with WIFI. Wireless telemetry systems are now becoming a relevant topic in the field of critical process control in industrial plants and oil/gas refineries. In contrast to wire line communication, wireless links are inherently unreliable. This unreliability depends critically on the propagation environment of the radio-links as the layout of scattering objects (pipes and metallic structures) influences the strength and the fluctuations of the received signal power. The development of next generation critical process control systems using the wireless technology calls for the design of advanced network architectures. Here we use level sensor for

continuously monitor the oil in storage tanks on the other hand we monitor any gas leak in gas storage tanks using gas sensors .hence up to n nos networks can established using zigbee technology which in turn supports WSNs. The installation of wireless control networks in oil&gas refinery plants is expected to give significant cost/logistic savings in several applications.
