An Autonomous Vibration-Sensing System for Power Transmission Lines Monitoring

Abstract

Abstract An autonomous vibration-sensing system including of ring magnetoelectric energy scavenger, an energy management module, a plurality of wireless acceleration sensor nodes and APP mobile terminal for power transmission lines monitoring was presented. The ring-type ferrite/piezoelectric composite with strong magnetoelectric couplings and a coil wound around it is used to scavenge the electromagnetic energy around the conductor, and the energy management module successively fulfill the functions of inductive/capacitive resonance matching, rectification and voltage stabilization and storage/release of the scavenged electric energy, and then provides driving power for signal acquisition and data transmission of 4G wireless acceleration sensor nodes. Testing results show that the collected energy can fulfill the power-supplying requirements of ADXL345, and the real-time as well as historical data curves within a specified time can be acquired through 4G and narrowband internet of things technologies.
