Fullpower Renewable Energy Solutions


Dynamic Sensor Networks
Personal mobile computing devices such as the iPhone or the iPod Touch can be thought of as nodes in a broadly distributed sensor network. They are wirelessly connected and include numerous sensors together with a programmable operating environment. Fullpower has focused on the challenges of managing dynamic sensor networks made out of collections of mobile devices. The dynamic nature of these networks offers new opportunities in the field of energy and renewable energy management. Fullpower has developed advanced dynamic sensor network management solutions based on state of the art approaches.

Large Distributed Sensor Network Management
Sensor-network-based surveillance applications must be designed for life-cycle optimization. Fullpower has developed protocols for node sleep scheduling that guarantee a correct sensing coverage while maximizing network life-cycle. Fullpower deep-sleep and cat-nap scheduling ensures rotation of resources so that each point in the environment is sensed within algorithmic latency tolerances. The Fullpower algorithms for multi-phase sleep scheduling achieve minimal surveillance delay within energy consumption constraints.

SensorWeb Life-Cycle Management
SensorWebs are collections of low-power intermittently-connected sensors that are dynamic in nature in that nodes "come and go." The industry will see extraordinary growth of such SensorWeb Networks. Life-Cycle management and lowering the costs of operations and maintenance are critical. Examples of such networks are single-purpose local or global warning systems for Hurricanes or Tsunamis or SensorWebs that monitor oil or gas pipelines. Such systems present significant management challenges as they are most useful before and during catastrophic events. Fullpower Life-Cycle management solutions for SensorWebs help solve such challenges.
