Recently, wireless sensor networks on several challenging topics have piqued researchers’ attention. Maximising a network's lifetime requires just the right combination of cluster size and number of nodes. Data transmission from nodes to cluster leaders is energy intensive, even for a modest number of clusters. If there are several clusters, many leaders will be chosen, and many nodes will rely on long-distance transmission to communicate with the home base. Therefore, in order to maximise efficiency, it is necessary to strike a balance between these two factors. WSN's major challenge is improving its energy efficiency. This is because their energy consumption defines their lifespan, and it is difficult, if not impossible, to recharge their batteries. Therefore, it is crucial to develop algorithms that consume as little energy as possible in order to maximise the network's potential. The perfect clusters are essential for the longevity of the network. Therefore, an algorithm called statistical centre energy efficient clustering approach (SEECA) is presented to increase the network's lifetime while decreasing its energy consumption. The experimental findings show that the proposed methodology SCEECA outperforms the LEACH method by a wide margin, with gains of 32% in Residual energy, 16% in Network Lifetime, and 12% in Throughput.
