Nowadays such sectors as agricultural, industrial, and private have used for years embedded information and processing technologies that are morally outdated and cannot be adapted to today's requirements. The integration of new wireless sensor network technologies can improve the management of existing infrastructure, enabling real-time control and analysis of information received from monitored devices. Despite the high costs of the system, this technology can be justified by the introduction of the solution from the initial stages. Nowadays, the most topical researches pertaining to wireless sensor networks are grounded on the new optimization of structure of network transmission protocol, the routing optimization in transmission network, optimization of network structure, as a result of which the life circle of wireless network sensors is possible to increase. There are a lot of ready-made solutions that allow to accomplish the simulation process for wireless sensor networks operating mode. As the essential disadvantage of the relevant wireless sensor netrork simulation tool can be considered non-integration of the methods for the optimization of wireless sensor networks lifetime. The integrated methods in simulation systems use inefficient network optimization methods for the design of optimal wireless sensor netrork systems. These include the choice of the capacity of individual battery, the deployment of the node density, the adjustment of power transmitter, the application of energy-efficient data transfer protocol, positioning of network nodes and other methods that are associated with the introduction of additional network costs. This article will discuss the simulation tool for the assessment of a wireless sensor network life circle that ensures the configuration of optimal network and projection/displaying of topology operations by using energy balancing methods.
