Green Energy Harvesting From Tiles
Project Area of Specialization Electrical/Electronic EngineeringProject SummaryOne of the challenges are the generation of electricity. Various types of power supplies, both intermittent and continuous, are accessible in this generation, but we still cannot meet our power requirements. One of the sources are the population of the encircled people. In this project, we generate electricity by running or walking. Stepping on the tiles can generate energy.The generation of energy using a piezoelectric transducer is an efficient and low-cost method of producing pollution-free electricity. The electric power is generated using a footstep mechanism. This configuration is utilized to create electrical power in order to fulfill the high energy demand as the demand grows. The pressure energy is turned into electrical energy in this project. We now generate electricity from fossil fuels, which pollutes the environment and posses a health risk to us. It is necessary to convert from nonrenewable to renewable energy sources. Our technology will primarily consist of a non-traditional approach of generating electricity by walking on piezoelectric tiles. Every day, every human being takes thousands of steps, and it's a big deal.This proposal would be displayed in densely populated areas, such as train stations, entrances, stairwells, restaurants, and streets. We designed this layout so that we could use embedded technology to create a system that is both efficient and reliable. After placing it in homes, schools, and other areas where people move around, we were able to design a compatible system that helps us in a variety of ways.The technology generates power successfully, and the results have been approve.
Project ObjectivesPakistan is a country where electricity generation and production is not an easy task. We are unable to generate that much electricity to meet everyone’s need. Electricity is very expensive in Pakistan so keeping these parameters in mind, we basically aim to design Green Energy from the piezo plates. Our requirement is to power on the AC load. The selection of AC load will depend on Piezo plates (how much current they are producing and which load is suitable to meet that requirement). This power can be used for small scale purposes.
- Generation can be done as there is no power from the mains and there is less pollution from this source of energy.
- The energy created is Green Energy, which has no negative effects on the environment.
- This is a great way to meet the "growing demand for power."
The piezoelectric sensor is used in the "Foot Step Power Generation" technology. To operate this device, Acrylic sheet put on the piezoelectric sensor and adjusted up and down. It may then create a voltage with each step, generating a substantial quantity of electricity when linked in series and parallel.. It converts acceleration, force, and pressure into electrical impulses via the piezoelectric phenomenon. It might be transforming kinetic energy into electrical energy. It has repaired the tiles and established that a 60.00kg average weight produces 1 watt of power in one minute.In this project ,we take four acrylic sheets.We used 60 piezoelectric sensor from which 30 placed on one sheet or 30 placed on other sheet.As we know that piezolectric sensor produces AC voltages and on other side we have required DC voltages.We placed rectifier and diode in series parallel connection to convert AC to DC.Similarly same process with another acrylic sheet.Then connect one acrylic sheet to another acrylic sheet and placed capacitor with it which stored voltages,amplifier is placed connect to it which increase voltages or current and connect it with BMS 3S which are connected in series so it will charge at 12V and current at 10 Ampere.We run 12 volt DC LED bulb at output also we can run DC for motor of 12 volts. Further, an inverter will change DC into AC and a relay will be connected to the AC load. We will use 5V power supply to power up the Raspberry pi. The purpose of microcontroller is very important because we are usingvoltage sensor to measure the voltage of a battery, current sensor to measure the current and PIR sensor for Human detection of footsteps .A 16*2 LCD is also connected to the output of microcontroller which will display the values of current and voltage.Relay is also connected to the microcontroller along with inverter so that we can automate the AC load by our IOT mobile app. We will also control AC load using Google Assistance voice command.
Benefits of the ProjectThe generation of energy using a piezoelectric transducer is an efficient and low-cost method of producing pollution-free electricity. The electric power is generated using a footstep mechanism. This configuration is utilized to create electrical power in order to fulfill the high energy demand as the demand grows. The pressure energy is turned into electrical energy in this project. We can generate 1MW of power with a hundred floors of piezoelectric sensors, which is enough to power the AC loads. This method of energy generation can be used in public areas.
Technical Details of Final DeliverableEvery human being takes thousands of steps every day, and it is a reality that each individual losses a significant amount of energy when walking, thus we are really repurposing this energy and making electricity from it. We are design a compatible system which generates power sucessfully. We further control AC load using Google Assistance voice command so for this we will use intermediate tool
called IFTTT which will bridge the gap between Google Assistance and IOT app.
