Abstract

Wireless sensor network (WSN) as part of far field energy harvesting system has been designed and implemented to detect failures in the distribution power lines due to natural disasters. Far field energy harvesting system used in detection of the failures for power lines involve antenna, rectifier, and impedance matching sections. The sensor system which is powered by the energy harvesting system using the ambient energy in the ultra-high frequency range (UHF) is tested for various different conditions.
