Improvements in technology result in evolution of smart devices. One of such smart devices is wireless sensor nodes, which consist of a sensing board, a battery supply and a wireless antenna to transfer data. We can collect information from the environment by deploying thousands of these tiny smart devices. These devices can also be used to monitor natural habitats or used in giant machine parts for performance evolution. Energy efficient operation is an important issue for wireless sensor network design and clustering is one of the most widely used approaches for energy efficiency. This thesis study aims to analyze the performance of clustering algorithms for wireless sensor networks. We proposed five clustering algorithms and perform experiments by using real sensor hardware over different topologies to investigate energy efficiency of the clustering algorithms.
