Abstract

Smart parking is common in contemporary cities. These smart parking lots are outfitted mostly with wireless sensor networks (WSNs), which are used to detect, monitor, and collect data on the availability status of all existing parking spaces in a given area. Sensors make up WSN, which may gather, process, and transmit informations to the sink. However, the power and communication limitations of the sensors have an effect on the performance and quality of the WSNs. The decrease in the battery and the energy of the nodes causes a decrease in the life of the nodes and also of the entire WSN network. In this article, we present a routing protocol that implements an efficient and robust algorithm allowing the creation of clusters so that the base station can receive data from the entire WSN network. This protocol adopts a reliable and efficient algorithm allowing to minimize the energy dissipation of the sensors and to increase the lifetime of the WSN. In comparison to alternative parking lot management protocols already in use, the simulation results of the proposed protocol are effective and robust in terms of power consumption, data transmission reliability, and WSN network longevity.

Abstract

Experimental validation is essential in renewable energy emulators and energy storage systems to ensure reliability, accuracy, and practical implementation. However, the high cost of AC/DC converters, measurement circuits, and microcontroller-based control platforms limits access to experimental validation, particularly in developing regions. This paper proposes cost-effective hardware and software solutions for validating renewable energy systems and storage management. The proposed approach is based on affordable power converters, low-cost voltage and current measurement circuits, data acquisition tools, and open-source control platforms. The methodology includes the design, implementation, and experimental testing of these low-cost solutions under different operating conditions. The obtained results demonstrate satisfactory measurement accuracy, stable behavior, and acceptable error margins, confirming the feasibility of the proposed setup for experimental validation. These solutions provide a scalable and accessible alternative to expensive laboratory platforms, enabling researchers and institutions with limited resources to perform reliable experimental studies and contribute to the advancement of sustainable energy technologies.
