Design and Implementation of an Ultra-Low-Power Hazardous Gas Monitoring System

In order to effectively monitor harmful gas leakage, this paper presents the design of an ultra-low-power IoT-based harmful gas monitoring system. The system is equipped with a custom-designed, low-power microcontroller motherboard, carefully selected low-power sensors, and high-efficiency, low-power communication modules. In addition, the system optimizes data acquisition and processing algorithms to segment gases of different concentrations. While ensuring real-time data acquisition and transmission, it achieves extremely low power consumption. By controlling the concentration of harmful gases and current for sensor performance testing, the experiment has shown that when the concentration of carbon monoxide reaches 500 ppm and methane reaches 2000 ppm, the system will trigger an alarm and upload relevant information; the sensor can detect and respond to the harmful gases within 60 s; and the system's operating current fluctuation range remains within 0.5 mA, with an average power consumption much lower than that of other devices.
