Design of smart dust sensor node for combustible gas leakage monitoring

In this work we present the results of design of smart dust sensor platform for combustible gas leakage monitoring. During the design process we took into account a lot of combustible gas sensor specific problems such as their huge power consumption, the necessity to work in explosive environment and sensor parameters degradation. To decrease power consumption we designed specific energy efficient algorithms for measurements. The resulting average power consumption of the node is low enough for one year autonomous lifetime. The methods and algorithms which was designed are very promissing for catalytic combustible gas sensors.
