“…Different CB configurations were explored for optimised energy harvesting. Abasian et al [9] proposed a CB that features a miniature permanent magnet (PM) at the tip of its free end instead of a non-magnetic proof mass. However, this design is only compatible with AC-based systems as the interaction between PM and the magnetic field will induce vibrations across the CB to generate power.…”

The use of quasi-Z-source inverters (qZSIs) for DC-DC power conversion applications has gained much recognition when dealing with grid-tied renewable energy resource integrations. This paper proposes a novel self-powered dynamic system (SPDS) involving a piezoelectric vibration energy harvester (PVEH) using qZSI to establish interoperability with a DC load rated at 16.15 mW. Based on uncertain output performances from a piezoelectric cantilever beam (CB), the qZSI-based PVEH serves as a dynamic voltage restoration unit that establishes load-following synchronisation. It uses a proportional-integral based boost controller (PI-based BC) to generate strategic ordering of shoot-through voltage amplification into pulse-width modulation (PWM) gating sequences. The SPDS was modelled using two software based on commercially available product specifications: (i) COMSOL Multiphysics to mechanically design and optimise a CB. (ii) PSCAD/EMTDC to electronically design and integrate the qZSI with the optimised CB, while functioning as a testbed to model the SPDS against arbitrary wind speed and structural vibration frequency data collected from an above-ground mass rapid transit (MRT) train station in Khatib, Singapore. The acquired simulation results have depicted desirable transient responses at respective sub-systems, procuring fast settling-time responses, negligible steady-state error, as well as high efficiencies of 94.07% and 91.64% for the CB and SPDS respectively.

Energy harvesting is a process of capturing, storing and conditioning ambient and residual energies for future use. The amount of residual energy captured is very small and can be used for low power load such as wireless sensor nodes. Wireless sensor nodes are used to monitor physical parameters at diverse locations. They find extensive applications in military, health care industries, environmental monitoring and smart grids. One of the major constraints of Wireless sensor node is battery lifetime as battery gets depleted over a period of time. Energy harvesting techniques can be used to overcome this constraint and has the ability to make wireless sensor node self sustainable. This paper provides an overview of energy harvesting techniques used for wireless sensor nodes in smart grid application.

“…Environments involving electrical currents include industrial plant areas, large machinery, power distribution lines, electrical installations of buildings and vehicle power networks. Piezoelectric [16][17][18][19][20][21][22] electrostatic [23][24][25][26], and inductive [27][28][29][30][31][32][33][34] coupling methods have already been studied for this purpose, demonstrating that adequate power density can be achieved by non-invasive coupling, to support wireless sensors with continuous power.…”

Monitoring infrastructure offers functional optimisation, lower maintenance cost, security, stability and data analysis benefits. Sensor nodes require some level of energy autonomy for reliable and cost-effective operation, and energy harvesting methods have been developed in the last two decades for this purpose. Here, a power supply that collects, stores and delivers regulated power from the stray magnetic field of currentcarrying structures is presented. In cm-scale structures the skin effect concentrates current at edges at frequencies even below 1 kHz. A coil-core inductive transducer is designed. A fluxfunnelling soft magnetic core shape is used, multiplying power density by the square of funnelling ratio. A power management circuit combining reactance cancellation, voltage doubling, rectification, super-capacitor storage and switched inductor voltage boosting and regulation is introduced. The power supply is characterised in house and on a full-size industrial setup, demonstrating a power reception density of 0.36 mW/cm 3 , 0.54 mW/cm 3 and 0.73 mW/cm 3 from a 25 A RMS structural current at 360 Hz, 500 Hz and 800 Hz respectively, corresponding to the frequency range of aircraft currents. The regulated output is tested under various loads and cold starting is demonstrated. The introduced method may enable power autonomy to wireless sensors deployed in current-carrying infrastructure.
