However, energy-aware communication protocols should be developed to extend network lifetime of WSNs in smart grid environments. In this study, the lifetime of wireless sensor nodes has been analyzed for various smart grid environments, such as 500 kV substation, main power control room, and underground network transformer vaults. In addition, the effects of different operation modes of sensor nodes on node lifetime have been reviewed. © 2017 Elsevier B.V., All rights reserved.trinfo:eu-repo/semantics/closedAccessLifetime AnalysisSmart GridWireless Sensor NetworksElectric BatteriesElectric Power System ControlElectric Power Transmission NetworksGrid ComputingPower ControlPower ManagementPower Management (Telecommunication)Signal ProcessingSmart Power GridsWireless Sensor NetworksEnergy Aware CommunicationLifetime AnalysisMonitor and ControlSmart GridSmart Grid ApplicationsUnderground NetworksWireless Sensor Network (Wsns)Wireless Sensor NodeSensor NodesConference Object10.1109/SIU.2016.74961902-s2.0-84982811012
