| Summary: | Energy harvesting becomes more and more important in our life. It refers to the
practice of acquiring energy from the environment which would be otherwise wasted
and converting it into usable electric energy. For this, every kind of energy can be
exploited such as solar, wind or strain and kinetic energy. The idea is to propose a
conceptual design that will carry out a suitable energy harvesting conversion to be
applied for road application. Harvesting energy using piezoelectric generators has
been chosen for this project. The project conduct a simulation analysis using a
piezoelectric generator based on a model by S Roundy and P K Wright. The data
used from a 15 mm x 3.2 mm x 0.14 mm single layer piezoelectric bending element
which produce 0.95mW with a 1.727e6 Nm
of input stress. The simulation is done
using MATLAB-Simulink-SimPowerSystems which also tested with others value by
Luigi Pinna et al.. Piezoelectric generator can be one of the green solutions for
sustainable development in energy generation. |
