Electrical Energy Harvesting From Mechanical Pressure of Vehicles Using Piezoelectric Generators

Abstract

The paper is intended to forecast the present condition of energy utilization and the usage of the resources in the generation process. According to International Energy Agency's New Policies Scenario demand of global electricity consumption will grow by almost 80% by 2040.The contribution of renewable resources in accordance with power generation will increase up to 33% by 2040. The rapidly-increasing contribution and importance of renewable resources in power generation field has led to developments of several sustainable technologies. It's an opportunity to generate a clean and green energy using the resources what we have in present. Piezoelectricity is a very old discovery not much been developed yet and not much trusted due to its inefficiency. The recent research and development in the electronics sector and its applied streams of electricity production and storage techniques have made possible to capture the energy that was always unnoticed so far. Energy which is in fact invisible energy which can be generated by applying pressure on specific substances with varying pressure produced by the on road moving vehicles. Thus, making the Piezoelectric effect a sensible concept. It is a new concept and has greater prospects in the maintainable energy circles. It is relatively inexpensive and easy to install, and recycles otherwise wasteful forms of energy. Here we mention that the conditions presented are approximations and recent practices have shown that greater amount of energy can be generated from such practices.
