The talk will introduce the non-conventional rural generation system that extracts energy from extra-high voltage transmission line corridors. The system was designed for a 230-kV transmission line to attend a 100-kW load and consists of a special 20-km collector line and an innovative substation. The energy is coupled to the collector line and supplied through a resonant circuit. There is no physical contact with the transmission line. A detailed electromagnetic study will be described, assuring there is no disturbance to the transmission line and that the rural system delivers high-quality energy. The simulations were performed with PSCAD. This system can be replicated at both sides of the TL to feed small remote loads like indigenous villages or become an additional supply source for existing rural systems. Important results regarding cost evaluation of the system are <a href="http://provided.Speaker(s):" target="_blank" title="provided.Speaker(s):">provided.Speaker(s):Cristina, Sebastian Smart Park Innovation Hub, 100 Innovation Drive, Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada, R3T 6A8
