Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

We are pleased to announce a call for papers for a Special Issue of Sensors on "Advances in Flexible Self-Powered Electronics Sensors". Research focused on the field of flexible self-powered electronics sensing has become a hotspot, attracting significant attention from researchers across various disciplines. The multifaceted nature of these sensors, encompassing material synthesis, characterization, processing technology, device preparation, and system integration, presents a vast space for exploration. For these types of sensors, from material synthesis and characterization, processing technology, and device preparation to system integration, there is a huge space for exploration. Here, we call for work that includes but is not limited to the following areas in this Special Issue of Sensors.

We seek contributions encompassing, but not limited to, advancements in flexible sensor fabrication techniques, novel materials for flexible sensing applications, innovative approaches for energy harvesting and storage in flexible sensors, system integration strategies, sensor characterization methods, and applications of flexible self-powered sensors in healthcare, environmental monitoring, and beyond. Researchers are encouraged to share their pioneering work and contribute to the advancement of this dynamic field.

To ensure stable and normal transformer operation, light gas protection of the transformer Buchholz relay is essential. However, false alarms related to light gas protection are common, and troubleshooting them often requires on-site gas sampling by personnel. During this time, the transformer’s operating state may rapidly deteriorate, posing a safety threat to field staff. To tackle these challenges, this work presents the near-field, thin-sliced transformer monitoring system that uses Electromagnetic Energy Transmission and Wireless Sensing Device (ETWSD). The system leverages external wireless energy input to power gas monitoring sensors. Simultaneously, it employs Near-Field Communication to obtain real-time concentrations of light gases, along with the electrified state and temperature. In field testing conducted on transformer relays’ gas collection chambers, the ETWSD effortlessly monitors parameters within warning ranges, encompassing methane gas concentrations around 1000 ppm, leakage voltage ranging from 0–100 V, and relay working temperatures up to 90 °C. Additionally, to facilitate real-time diagnosis for electrical workers, we have developed an Android-based APP software that displays current light gas concentrations, leakage voltage collection values, and temperature, while also enabling threshold judgment, alarms, and data storage. The developed ETWSD is expected to aid on-site personnel in promptly and accurately evaluating transformer light gas protection error alarm faults. It provides a method for simultaneous, contactless, and rapid monitoring of multiple indicators. Full article
