The cooling fin of a radiating fin, heat-conducting layer 21 and heat exchange layer 23 are made of high thermal conductivity material, such as the metal materials such as copper, aluminium,
To realize maximum temperature difference in 22 both sides of thermoelectric material layer.
Power supply system during normal operation, the maximum temperature of power cable reaches as high as 80 DEG C, in the case of an overload most
High-temperature is up to 170 DEG C, and high-temperature cable can even work at a temperature of up to 210 DEG C, and ambient temperature usually exists
Even 40 DEG C hereinafter, by environment temperature be 40 DEG C calculating, for power supply system normal operation in the case of, in thermoelectric material layer
22 both sides at least may exist the available temperature difference of Δ T=40K.
Certainly, due in supply line load can constantly change, can, along the temperature of power cable and non-constant, supplying
When loading extremely low in electric line, display is measured by testing, power cable still can keep the temperature of 5K-10K with environment temperature
Difference.In general, the energy density of thermoelectric generator is about 3500 μ W/cm under the 40K temperature difference2, it is about then 3.5 μ W/ under the 5K temperature difference
cm2.In general, the distributed wireless sensor node continuous collecting and power consumption for sending power supply system state parameter is about 100mW,
Here, it will be assumed that the efficiency of DC/DC converters is 40%, energy-storing efficiency 80%, distributed wireless sensor node

Can estimate makes the length of the energy collecting device 20 needed for distributed wireless sensor node normal work, as shown in table 1 below.
The length of required energy collecting device under 1 different condition of table
As can be seen from the above table, in the case where wireless sensor node is run 5 seconds for every 15 minutes, even if in supply line
It is upper load it is extremely low when, also only need the energy collecting device of 4.2-6.3cm long, so that it may so that the normal work of wireless sensor node
Make;In power supply system normal operation, even if only needing the energy of 3.8-5.7cm long if wireless sensor node continuous service
Collection device, so that it may so that wireless sensor node works normally, therefore, be received from supply line itself by energy collecting device
Integrate thermal energy to be feasible as wireless sensor node power supply.
As shown in figure 3, the embodiment of the present invention additionally provides a kind of monitoring system for power supply system, may include nothing
Line sensor node 31 and energy collecting device 32, wherein wireless sensor node 31 power supply system for collecting and sending
State parameter, energy collecting device 32 be used for wireless sensor node 31 power, energy collecting device 32 can be as above
Energy collecting device described in text.
Monitoring system according to the ... of the embodiment of the present invention for power supply system, by energy collecting device from supply line from
Body collects thermal energy to power for wireless sensor node, without executing huge maintenance task and of low cost, and applied field
Scape is extensive, can be applied to direct current or ac power supply system, is particularly suitable for DC power-supply system.
