Abstract
Due to the lack of alternating electric fields and alternating magnetic fields in HVdc transmission system, there has been no sustainable and stable energy harvesting method compatible with them up to now, hindering the application of HVdc sensors. In this letter, we proposed a novel dc energy harvesting method using corona current, and an energy harvesting circuit is constituted with space ion flow generated by dc corona. The feasibility of the proposed method is increased by adding an artificial corona electrode and placing the load before the corona electrode. In addition, it can flexibly operate at any position in an HVdc transmission system according to actual demand. Then the output power is further maximized by adopting a capacitor with high working voltages. The detailed measurement results based on the experimental system validate the effectiveness of the proposed method, with a stable output power as high as 10.15 mW in a dc system of 22 kV. A detailed discussion of the overall performance is finally carried out.
