The goal of this paper is to review current methods of energy harvesting, while focusing on piezoelectric energy harvesting. The piezoelectric energy harvesting technique is based on the materials’ property of generating an electric field when a mechanical force is applied. This phenomenon is known as the direct piezoelectric effect. Piezoelectric transducers can be of different shapes and materials, making them suitable for a multitude of applications. To optimize the use of piezoelectric devices in applications, a model is needed to observe the behavior in the time and frequency domain. In addition to different aspects of piezoelectric modeling, this paper also presents several circuits used to maximize the energy harvested.

“…Extensive research material was presented, but the results are generally not of an application nature, but only cognitive in relation to specific test conditions. Based on the articles [7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18] published in 2012-2022 and other analyzed publications, it was estimated that in typical piezoelectric systems the range of energy obtainable from a single system is 1-100 mJ per single-vehicle pass.…”

An important contemporary challenge regarding sustainable development is the analysis of the possibilities of obtaining and recovering energy, also from unconventional areas. One such issue harvests energy from roads. This idea seems to be so attractive that numerous scientific teams around the world conduct research in this area. The author's systematic analysis of review articles from the last decade raises the question, whether harvesting energy from roads is really as attractive and promising as many researchers predict in their publications. The author hypothesizes that in last decade basically no significant progress has been made in the development and improvement of energy harvesting from roads methods and systems. In many cases, the solutions presented are more technical than scientific novelties. Known solutions are modeled and tested again and again, the systems are complex and expensive, and the energy and economic efficiency is relatively low. In this article, the author focuses on critically revealing the flaws, shortcomings, weaknesses, and erroneous assumptions of large part studies conducted in this field. Based on the criticism, it is aimed to indicate prospective directions of development and encourage researchers to look for innovative, effective solutions in the field of energy harvesting from roads.

“…An asphalt pavement PE harvester (Yang et al, 2017) was tested in the lab and on the roadside in China. A road-traffic harvester (Gareh et al, 2016) was proposed with PE transduction for such applications. A self-powered weight-in-motion system using vibration energy of pavement utilizing PE transduction is a solution to enforce weight regulation and keep the roads and bridges safe (Birgin et al, 2023).…”

Vibration energy has the advantage of abundant availability in the environment of the bridge structure due to consistent traffic flow and high-speed wind blowing. The vibration energy present at the bridge site can be harvested for powering the wireless sensors mounted on the bridge for health monitoring and making the system self-powered. The bridge vibrations are usually low frequency and low acceleration excitations, therefore, its transduction to useful electrical energy is a challenge. However, several techniques are being utilized to harvest the bridge vibration and a variety of bridge energy harvesters are being developed for this purpose. This work has reviewed energy harvesters claimed to be designed for bridge vibrations. The study is split into two categories, first section discusses the energy harvesters developed for bridge vibrations tested only in-lab environments. The second section is about the harvesters that have been characterized on real bridge structures to verify their effectiveness. The study reveals that the bridge energy harvesters can extract enough power to operate the wireless sensors for the health monitoring of bridge structures. Moreover, the architecture, fabrication, input excitation, and output performance of the reported harvesters with modeling techniques are discussed.
