A noble model for harvesting energy using piezoelectric material and solar panel: Bangladesh perspective

Abstract

For the development of modern civilization huge amount of electrical power is necessary. To meet the demand of these power scientists is desperately searching for renewable and green sources of energy. This paper attempts to increase up the electrical energy using piezoelectric materials and solar panel together. Piezoelectric materials which can take mechanical stress and convert it to electrical energy and solar panel absorb the sun's rays as a source of energy for generating electricity. In this paper the output from solar panel has been added with outputs of piezoelectric material. Here piezoelectric material has been used in two ways. We have observed that huge energy was produced when piezoelectric crystals and transducer have been used to convert mechanical stress into electrical energy by using pressure and sound on it respectively. Crystals has placed on speed breakers of roadways and transducers have placed near roadside. The goal of this experiment is to generate power not only in day but also in night with the help piezoelectric materials, so that we get sufficient source of voltage to lighten up the street lights for distance than before.

Efficient Method on Energy Regeneration through Speed Breakers

“…The cost of electricity generation and storage per MW from speed breaker is nearly 1cr as compared to Rs 8cr hydro and thermal power station [7] Arnab Et al shares that the usage of combined piezo and solar panels in the electricity generation can help us fulfilling the needs of electrical power necessary for our future. The setup of piezo and solar was attached to a speed breaker, to tame large amounts of electricity which might be used in lighting the street lamps [8].…”

The State of the Art: Application of Green Technology in Sustainable Pavement

“…However, current research on the hybrid piezoelectric-thermal energy system remains in laboratory tests, seldom applied to pavement structures in eld applications yet. Similarly, electric power output can also be signi cantly increased by combining solar concentrators with piezoelectric energy harvesting circuits [89,90]. In order to improve the e ciency of energy harvesting to provide more power for street lights, Arnab et al combined piezoelectric materials with solar panels, as shown in Figure 8(b), to improve energy harvesting e ciency [90].…”

Sathiyamoorthy and Bharathi designed a hybrid energy harvester with solar panels, piezoelectric devices, and wind turbines, aiming at harvesting renewable energy from pavements as much as possible to power tra c lights and houses [91].…”
