Abstract
This article presents a non-conventional voltage-transforming system that extracts energy from transmission line (TL) electrical field. The generation system consists in a 20 km collector line built within the right-of-way of a 230 kV transmission line to attend a 100 kW load. A non-conventional substation is conceived to provide adequate voltage regulation. This voltage-transforming system can be replicated at both sides of the TL to feed small remote loads or become an additional supply source for existing rural systems. No intervention on the existent line is necessary. Important results regarding transient, quality and reliability indexes cost evaluation of the system are provided. (AU)
