In view of the problem of low energy collection efficiency and low efficiency of photovoltaic power supply modules in wireless sensor networks, a maximum power point tracking algorithm suitable for photovoltaic power supply of wireless sensor nodes is proposed. Firstly, the photovoltaic cell model is analyzed. Based on this, the traditional maximum power point tracking algorithm is analyzed. Combining with the advantages of disturbance observing method and load current maximization method, the problem of low working efficiency and low energy collection efficiency of functional modules is solved. Current observation method maximum power point tracking algorithm, and complete the relevant hardware circuit design. Experimental results show that the power consumption of MPPT circuit is low, and the efficiency caused by environmental factors is very small. The efficiency is kept above 90% and the overall system efficiency is about 87%, which provides a stable and reliable photovoltaic power supply for WSN nodes.

This paper deals with the Wireless Sensor Network comportment in the south west region precisely Bechar city. Algeria has the highest technical and economic potentials for solar power exploitation in the Middle East and North Africa region. In this paper, the focus is on the behaviour of Wireless Sensor Network (WSNs) supplied by solar panel PV connected to node via boost converter (DC/DC) controlled by maximum power point tracking (MPPT) technique, using the incremental conductance (IC) algorithm to extract maximum power. In Our present work, many tests were carried out. The WSNs are examined under sever and different temperature and irradiation variation. The obtained result is satisfactory for our (WSNs) simulated in a MATLAB / SIMULINK environment. The performances of the proposed strategy controller give a satisfactory simulation results.
