Presentation Summary

  • Diagnosis of electrical installations is key to prevent failures. The use of sensors could allow to monitor position, voltage, current, temperature, etc....
  • In some cases it is not possible to add any new wires neither for power supply nor communication. The design of energy harvested wireless sensors is the solution.
  • Since the use of a standard for wireless communication is always appreciated we developed a thermal energy powered ZigBee wireless temperature sensor.
