    ENERGY CONSUMPTION IN PERPETUAL WIRELESS SENSOR NETWORKS
    (Zaria Journal of Electrical Engineering, 2020) Abdulkarim, A; Oloyede, AA; Olawoyin, L.A.; Faruq, N; Otuoze, Abdulrahaman
    This paper investigates the amount of energy consumed in different configuration for perpetual wireless sensor networks. Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) represent an area of networking that become pivotal in many applications. The use of WSNs for the monitoring of environments, habitats as well as systems within industry and healthcare has made WSNs a crucial area of research within recent years. The principles behind WSNs involve the deployment of remote sensing and relay nodes, able to collect and transmit raw data for processing. Applications such as remote environmental monitoring present new challenges such as the prospect of developing networks that can operate perpetually to collect data for as long as possible. Simulation and theoretical analysis were done using the networking simulator DENSE. DENSE is presented to provide insight into what protocols and energy saving techniques can be employed to establish the possible feasibility of constructing PWSN. The results show that mesh is the most realistic due to its energy distribution and optimization over a large area for a great number of nodes; however, a small single hop based network can provide good result for energy consumption and packet success rates.

    Threats and Challenges of Smart Grids Deployments-A Developing Nations’ Perspective.
    (Published by School of Electrical Engineering, Faculty of Engineering, Universiti Teknologi Malaysia., 2019) Otuoze, Abdulrahaman; Mustafa, Mohd; Ibrahim, Oladimeji; Salisu, S; Mohammed, OO; Oloyede, AA; Gaya, Zubairu
    Considerable efforts in huge investments are being made to achieve a resilient Smart Grids (SGs) deployment for the improvement of power delivery scheme. Unsurprisingly, many developing nations are making slow progress to the achievement of this feat, which is set to revolutionize the power industry, own to several deployment and security issues. Studying these threats and challenges from both technical and non-technical view, this paper presents a highlight and assessment of each of the identified challenges. These challenges are assessed by exposing the security and deployment related threats while suggesting ways of tackling these challenges with prominence to developing nations. Although, a brief highlight, this review will help key actors in the region to identify the related challenges and it’sa guide to sustainable deployments of SGs in developing nations.
