چکیده
In this paper, we present AmICA: a flexible, compact, easyto-program, and low-power WSN platform. Developed from scratch and including a node, a basic communication protocol, and a debugging toolkit, it assists in a user-friendly rapid application development. Our analysis shows that AmICA nodes are 67% smaller than BTnodes, have five times more sensors than Mica2Dot and consume 72% less energy than the state-of-the-art TelosB mote in sleep mode.

متن کاملDesign of a flexible and robust gateway to collect sensor data in intermittent power environments
The development of a Wireless Sensor Network (WSN) gateway is challenging for sites where limited infrastructures lead to frequent power shortages and network unreliability. In this paper, we present a low-power, low-cost 802.15.4 and 802.11 compatible solution which uses open source software to meet local conditions. Using the SunSPOT motes on a system which is mostly platform independent, our...
متن کاملFlexible Power Electronic Transformer for Power Flow Control Applications
This paper proposes a Flexible Power Electronic Transformer (FPET) for the application in the micro-grids. The low frequency transformer is usually used at the Point of Common Coupling (PCC) to connect the low voltage grid and utility network to each other. The conventional 50Hz transformer results in enhanced low voltage-grid power management system during grid-connected operation. In this pap...
