POWER GENERATION USING PIEZOELECTRIC EFFECT

Abstract

Now-a-days Several number of power sources are present both renewable and non-renewable but still we
cannot overcome our power needs. The demand for the electricity is more than generation. To solve such types
of problem, we try to develop electricity generating techniques with the help of wasting human energy for our
better future. In this paper, we are generating electrical power through non-conventional method and utilizing
energy from the surroundings. Piezoelectricity is a fascinating phenomenon, can generate an electric charge in
response to mechanical stress or pressure.
When mechanical stress or pressure is applied to the piezoelectric material, such as when someone steps on
piezoelectric tile, it causes the material to deform slightly, leading to the separation of charges within the
material, creating an electric potential difference, which is essentially voltage. In this paper, we are utilizing
this power to supply the Automatic Street Lights. By placing the piezoelectric titles on walkways or busy areas,
the kinetic energy from people footsteps can be transformed into electrical energy. This energy can then store in
batteries and utilized to automatically power street lights when it gets dark.
