“…Especially, in terms of reliability and power density, energy harvesting using magnetic fields has been reported as the best way to provide energy to applications. 7,8 Compared to solar and wind energy sources, magnetic field energy is less affected by environmental or weather conditions because it is only dependent on power line current. The focus of this paper is therefor on harvesting magnetic energy near power line.…”

Recently, magnetic energy harvesting technologies have been studied actively for self-sustainable operation of applications around power line. However, magnetic energy harvesting around power lines has the problem of magnetic saturation, which can cause power performance degradation of the harvester. In this paper, optimal design of a toroidal core for magnetic energy harvesters has been proposed with consideration of magnetic saturation near power lines. Using Permeability-H curve and Ampere’s circuital law, the optimum dimensional parameters needed to generate induced voltage were analyzed via calculation and simulation. To reflect a real environment, we consider the nonlinear characteristic of the magnetic core material and supply current through a 3-phase distribution panel used in the industry. The effectiveness of the proposed design methodology is verified by experiments in a power distribution panel and takes 60.9 V from power line current of 60 A at 60 Hz.

“…KEH is an applicable method for both indoor and outdoor domains, as there is a variety of sources that can be conveniently exploited to drive low-power wireless autonomous devices. However, constituting a generalized harvesting system, especially for vibrating sources, is an ongoing issue, because the conversion efficiency highly varies with the resonant frequency of the vibration, which makes necessary a specialized design for each source (Moghe et al, 2009;Sudevalayam and Kulkarni, 2011;Zhao et al, 2013).…”

“…E-field EH is simply based on obstructing the free charges that are being emitted by a conductor with voltage potential and draining them via the displacement current. E-field EH was first tried on high and middle voltage overhead power lines by utilizing the E-field in abundance (Moghe et al, 2009;Moghe et al, 2015;Zhangl et al, 2009;Zhao et al, 2013). First results revealed the potential of this method in powering wireless devices placed for condition monitoring procedures and accordingly encouraged further efforts for building advanced Smart Grid services.…”

Figure 1.1.1 Smart city architecture. key areas of the cities, such as power grids, water and underground systems, oil and gas pipelines, railways, roads, schools, hospitals, stations, airports, and so on. The application areas of the smart city are diverse, and they connect every corner of the city to the Internet. This provides global intelligence over the management, and it paves the road for "Internet + Internet of things = smart planet" (Zhang et al., 2010). The smart city is the application of the concept of the smart planet to a specific region. The surveillance of infrastructure and environments of the city with the help of sensor technology achieves intelligent urban management and services (Su et al., 2010). The features of the smart city provide development of efficient urban strategies such as construction of smart homes, wireless cities, and smart transportation systems (Su et al., 2010). The use of IoT to realize the smart city vision brings important challenges. With IoT technology, it is estimated that the number of devices connected to Internet will reach to 16 billion in 2020 (EU, 2010). Due to this increase, wireless data traffic that is being fulfilled in cities will reach excessive levels, and the available spectrum will become scarcer. Ever-growing demand in wireless communications has also increased the spectrum scarcity problem. Furthermore, fixed allocation of the spectrum worsens the problem of inefficient spectrum use. While the licensed spectrum bands are underutilized, the unlicensed ones are crowded, and the wireless communication is no longer feasible in these bands. To overcome the spectrum inefficiency and scarcity problems, CR technology is proposed (Mitola and Maguire, 1999). CR-capable wireless devices can access the licensed spectrum bands opportunistically and hence increase the spectrum utilization efficiency (Haykin, 2008). On the other hand, wireless nodes in these systems are resource constrained. Even though the majority of sensor nodes have duty cycling, a conventional battery in a sensor node depletes in less than a year. Therefore, an auxiliary or even a completely distinct source, such as heat, light, motion, and electromagnetic (EM) waves must be exploited to ensure sensors' operation. In this regard, EH technologies come into prominence to build wireless sensor networks (WSNs) that are free from battery constraints (Sudevayalam and Kulkarni, 2011). Hence, these challenges promote

There are two simple methods of supplying power to a wireless, low-power sensor in an aircraft: a battery, or direct access to the aircraft power line. In the former, the battery will eventually need to be replaced whilst the latter option, which is highly intrusive and difficult to retrofit into existing aircraft, increases the weight and presents installation issues when large numbers of sensors are deployed. This paper presents initial experimental results of a nonintrusive method of harvesting energy by induction from aircraft power lines, in order to supply power to an aircraft wireless sensing application. The harvester comprises an inductive coil wound around a magnetic core, with the complete setup clamped around a single-phase AC power line.
