Abstract: We all know how Wireless Sensor Network (WSN) is making its way in the modern world and how its application is growing effectively. It has been useful technology which helps to transmit and receive the data. In WSN, all information of physical parameter is sensed and processed by the sensor nodes. Along with the growth of technology in WSN, growth of sensor node is also in progress, it means that size of sensor node is getting reduced. Due to this dimension of the battery of the sensor node is also decreases. Hence Power storage of the battery is also reduced which is a demerit in WSN. But in sensor network replacement of battery is not possible. So we can increase the energy efficiency of sensor node by using LEACH protocol. This protocol helps us to increase life span of network. For heterogeneous network, LEACH produces greater unstable region. To the network stable the paper proposes another protocol is Stable Election protocol (SEP). In this paper LEACH and SEP protocol are tested with MATLAB simulation and comparison of both has done.
