摘要：
Systems and methods for operating a fluid supply system. The methods comprise: using a micro-turbine and an Energy Harvesting Circuit (“EHC”) to harvest energy from a fluid flowing through a pipeline； operating a switch to disconnect the EHC from the micro-turbine when an amount of energy harvested reaches a threshold value； detecting by a sensor device an amount of natural fluid flow through the pipeline while the EHC is disconnected from the micro-turbine； and operating the switch to reconnect the EHC to the micro-turbine after the amount of natural fluid flow has been detected.
