        abstract = {A Wireless sensor network (WSN) has important applications such as remote conservation monitoring and object tracking. These sensors are equipped with wireless interfaces with which they can communicate with one another to form a network and these sensors that are smaller in size and smart. As sensor nodes are generally battery-powered devices, the critical aspects to face concern how to reduce the energy consumption of nodes, so that the network lifetime can be improved to reasonable times. In approach first, describe the power consumption for components of a typical sensor node, and discuss the main directions to power management methods in wireless sensor networks. Our main goal of Power management in wireless networks which deals with the process of managing energy resources by means of cluster head selection, adjusting the transmission power, and dedicated paths for the real-time and delay sensitive application so as to increase the lifetime of the nodes of desired wireless network. Since, most of the sensor nodes in the network are equipped with low power batteries, it could be difficult for a sensor device to maintain for a long time if it send and receive data more often. In this paper we purpose the features of ZRP protocols and compare with QHCR..we propose a technique to minimize the consumption of energy as well as increase the lifetime of network .},
