Abstract
The present disclosure is directed to devices and methods for performing power failure detection. A power failure is detected using an electrostatic charge variation sensor that measures variation of electrostatic charge in a surrounding environment. Power failure is detected wirelessly and without being directly connected to the power network. Further, the electrostatic charge variation sensor has low power consumption and allows for customization of detection sensitivity.
