Abstract: This paper has addressed the distributed energy/power change in Wireless Sensor Network (WSN). With new technologies WSN evolving with efficient and new features, because of this live field for research and development oriented work have turn out to be more in the field of WSN. The main components of WSN are, each node is deployed with required software and hardware system and limited energy usage in terms of power consumption for particular work assigned to the sensor hub which uses energy for the work. Each hub is embedded with resources like memory, microcontroller, and antenna. Where memory is use for storing and forwarding of data, whereas microcontroller is used for processing and providing data security using encryption and also used to maintain and updating of routing protocols. Antenna is used for signal detection and for transmission (receiving and broadcasting signals). Sensor hubs uses large amount of energy, to have life time of node in the network .it is important to increase its lifetime in the group. There has been enormous effect to increase the life of hub further in the network by providing new techniques and changes to various sensor node layer for better life in the network group. In paper different approaches have been come upon based on usage of energy by the sensor
