Abstract | The recent research efforts in smart grids and residential power management are oriented to monitor pervasively the power consumption of appliances in domestic and non-domestic buildings. Knowing the status of a residential grid is fundamental to keep high reliability levels while real time monitoring of electric appliances is important to minimize power waste in buildings and to lower the overall energy cost. Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) are a key enabling technology for this application field because they consist of low-power, non-invasive and cost-effective intelligent sensor devices. We present a wireless current sensor node (WCSN) for measuring the current drawn by single appliances. The node can self-sustain its operations by harvesting energy from the monitored current. Two AAA batteries are used only as secondary power supply to guarantee a fast start-up of the system. An active ORing subsystem selects automatically the suitable power source, minimizing power losses typical of the classic diode configuration. The node harvests energy when the power consumed by the device under measurement is in the range 10W÷10kW, which also corresponds to the range of current 50mA÷50A drawn directly from the main. Finally the node features a low-power, 32-bit microcontroller for data processing and a wireless transceiver to send data via the IEEE 802.15.4 standard protocol. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
