Energy harvesting technology applicable to Distribution Line

Abstract

To ensure stable power supply and prevent faults, protective devices and IoT sensors for status monitoring are installed in the distribution line. These devices are powered by batteries and external power sources. There is an energy source that can be harvested in various fields such as electric wire which constant current flows, vibration of a transformer, pressure of a manhole, etc. Distribution lines composed of a working or an underground. We will examine various methods and R & D cases for high-quality power supply by installing the harvesting device to harvest waste energy.
