Abstract

Aiming to come up with strategies for harvesting energy in hybrid power line communication (PLC)-wireless systems, this work focuses on the amount of energy that can be potentially harvested from the additive noise in electric power grids and in the air within residential facilities when the frequencies from 1.7 up to 100~MHz are taken into account. Based on statistical analyses of a residential data set, we show that the average power of the measured additive noise in the power line is higher in the morning than other periods of the day. Also, it is higher than the values from the energy harvested from in the air, in the same frequency band. Moreover, we show that the amount of energy harvested from these additive noises can yields achievable data rates between hundreds of kbps up to dozens of Mbps if hybrid PLC-wireless channels are used for data communication purposes.
