“…If the input voltage is a 10 V sine wave, the voltage doubler rises the output of the first stage to almost 20V in the next stage. Then the full wave bridge converts the doubled sine wave into an almost DC voltage of 17 V and this voltage is used to charge the battery [14].…”

The goal of this paper is to review up to date energy harvesting techniques, while focusing on energy harvesting with piezoelectric materials. A classification of various energy harvesting sources is provided in order to properly locate piezoelectricity. Piezoelectric energy harvesting uses the special material property that exists in many single crystalline materials: the direct piezoelectric effect. Those materials are generating electric potential when mechanical stress is applied. There are two types of mechanical stress suitable for piezoelectric energy harvesting: hitting and vibrating. The hitting method involves the direct transfer of energy to piezoelectric modules, so it generates more power than the vibrating method. This kind of energy harvesting is used to drive low energy consuming devices and is suitable for applications where replacement of battery or maintenance is unpractical, like sensors in the human body, for powering portable devices or it can be used for improvement of a smart building concept. If the piezoelectric transducers are placed in the floor of a crowded area or in shoes, it can theoretically generate 4.9 J/Step; therefore, this energy can be used to replace the chargeable batteries. This review is useful for a proper positioning of this type in the IoT broad context and mainly as an alternate energy source for wearables.

“…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].…”

A wide range of literature on predominant green technologies for sustainable pavements is summarized in this paper. It covers two major aspects: energy harvesting technologies and permeable pavement systems. Fundamental mechanics of energy harvesting techniques and possible designs of energy harvesters are described, with the evaluation of energy conversion efficiency, and advantages and disadvantages. In addition, the designs of permeable pavement systems are discussed, along with their advantages and disadvantages. The latest technical innovations are highlighted. It is found that green technologies are promising for developing more sustainable pavements. Application issues are also pointed out, including construction challenges, durability, and life-cycle cost-benefit assessment. Future research directions are suggested to address practical challenges, such as efficient design, construction challenge, timely maintenance, and life-cycle performance assessment.

In the last few years, there has been intensive research in the field of human motion and environment energy harvesting. That kind of energy harvesting used for power supply self-regulation in eWALL system (e WALL for Active Long Living) would contribute to increased energy efficiency of the system. The paper will represent possible methods and ways of energy harvesting in eWALL system. Statistical evaluation of the harvested energy will be given. The paper will also consider other, possible undeveloped ways of energy harvesting in terms of the practical implementation of the system. These methods and statistical estimates may relate to eWALL system, but also to other systems such as e.g. smart homes. Energy accumulation can be achieved from user motion, differences in ambient temperature, vibrations, radio frequency radiation and other technologies that are available to eWALL users.I.
