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.

1. INTRODUCTION
The miniaturization of embedded electronic equipment continues to increase while they are destined
to accomplish more and more complex tasks. Due to their small size and the high energy consumption
imposed on them, the Constituents of sensor networks can not compete with computers, smart phones, tablets
or other handheld terminals in terms of processing capacity of data, storage and communication. It is
therefore important to be able to consider energy consumption very early in the cycle of design and
development of embedded systems [1, 2].
This study focuses on a particular case of these types of miniaturized equipment these are
the wireless sensor nodes. These are electronic devices communicating with each other with wireless links,
and whose primary functions areto collect and transmit data in a completely autonomous way in energy.
These communicating systems thus constitute the network and are called nodes sensors. They are necessarily
each equipped with a catchment unit to observe the environment in which they are placed. The association of
these nodes forms the wireless sensor network (WSN). Sensor nodes can be immobile or mobile.
Their position in the network is not necessarily predetermined because they can be randomly dispersed in
a geographical area (with an algorithm and a self-organizing protocol) or their positions can be specified and
organized in a targeted area (pre-configured topology) [1, 3]. A sensor network is connected by a point to
a host system. This connection point is called the well. All data collected by each node are routed to
the well or collection point via a multi-hop architecture or only a jump according to the topology of
the network [1, 4].
