Description
Summary:This paper presents a piezoelectric energy harvesting device with anti-interference ability for scavenge energy from power lines. The device can accommodate three energy harvesters, which greatly improves the space utilization. The maximum output power of a single energy harvester operating individually is 71.77 μW with the matched resistance of 29 kΩ when power line current of 100 A is applied. In addition, the device exhibits only 4.94% output fluctuation under strong external interference, showing promising application for harsh environment. Finally, the excellent ability of the device to power the wireless sensor system is demonstrated.
