Biography

Xiwei Yang was born in P.R.China in 1965, earned B.S. degree in the field of electronic instrument & measurement in 1986 from Jianghan Petroleum Institute and M.S. degree in the field of computer sicence in 2006 from Huazhong University of Science and Technology, Wuhan city, P.R.China.
Before joining HBUT, he was a senior engineer at The 3rd Petroleum instrument Plant of China National Petroleum Corporation(CNPC) for 15 years. During this period, he designed nearly 10 kinds of instruments mainly used for oil field development. He is now a vice professor at the school of computer sicence, Hubei University of technology(HBUT) . Recently he has published research12 papers and 1 book in the area of Computer Science. At the present time, he takes part in some research projects in the area of industry measure and contral.
Prof. Yang won the Jianghan Petroleum Administration Technology Progress Award four times, a utility model patent No. ZL200820183238.2 and a Hubei Science and Technology Progress Award No. 2008J-251-2-063-030-R06.

Low-power Wireless Pressure Transmitter and Net of Oil-well Based on Zigbee

By Xiwei Yang Changyun Li

DOI: https://doi.org/10.5815/ijitcs.2010.01.07, Pub. Date: 8 Nov. 2010

The paper introduced a low-power wireless pressure transmitter for measure pressure and temperature of oil-well. To avoid wiring cables onsite, ZICM2410 was adopted to construct Wireless Sensor Network (WSN), and powered by Li-Ion battery. To reduce the power consumption, MSP430F477 and other low-power chips were used to construct the hardware, and energy conservation strategies were designed in the software. One strategy was turning off the power when some chips or modules were not on duty. Another strategy was working, sleeping and timer waking up. The SNAP wireless network solution of Zigbee was used to compose WSN. By analysis and test, the power consumption of the transmitter is very low, and the transmission range of it could be up to 300m. It could longtime continuously work for the low power consumption ability. The transmitter could fully meet the actual requirements, and could be applied to other industry situations easily.
