Abstract

Renewable Energy Harvesting to power sensor nodes has been a very sensitive issue of discussion in recent years. With the emerging MEMS(Micro Electro-Mechanical Systems) Technology, the wireless sensor nodes have gained wide importance and the process involved in continuous powering of these nodes is also challenging. The supply to the sensor nodes as applied to the monitoring of A C Transmission lines needs to be addressed separately other than the battery technology. This paper presents the Simulink model to measure the magnetic flux that can be extracted from the Sub-transmission system i.e., 33KV, 66KV, 132KV and 220KV and the simulation results are quiet promising to power up the sensor nodes.
