Due to the problems associated with fossil fuels, scientists andgovernments are investigating alternative energy sources. In recent decades,there has been an increase in interest in initiatives involving the collection ofclean, limitless energy. This paper focuses on two renewable energy harvestingcombination technologies: mechanical vibration utilizing piezoelectric technologyand thermal source utilizing thermoelectric technology. Existing scientific literatureproposes various techniques for producing and modelling each system individually.This study proposes a novel thermo-piezoelectric pavement model with thermopiezoelectriccoupling. Due to no typical experimentation in the scientific literature,a new laboratory experimental prototype proposes to reproduce artificially andsimultaneously heat harvesting on the artificial road surface and mechanical vibrationcaused by passing vehicles. Testing the laboratory-developed prototype has determinedthe efficacy of the thermo-piezoelectric coupling electronic model. This studydemonstrated that a hybrid thermo-piezoelectric system is more suitable for roadpavement applications than a thermo-piezoelectric coupling system. A hybridcombination system can continue to produce energy even if one of the energy sourcesis unavailable or malfunctioning, whereas a coupling combination system cannot.In laboratory testing, the combined thermo-piezoelectrical harvester proposed couldgenerate up to 1.75 W without optimizing the materials and power generation.This innovative study demonstrates the feasibility and applicability of combiningthermoelectric and piezoelectric technology to harvest energy from road surfaces.

Energy transformation requires replacing power plants based on fossil raw materials with renewable energy. Energy harvesting plays an important, although not fully appreciated, role here. Distributed, local power supply systems for small receivers, based on various sources which previously dissipated energy, may contribute to changing the current energy paradigm. This article presents an overview of energy harvesting technologies and various energy sources used in this process. Particular attention was paid to sources of a less conventional nature. The aim of this article is to encourage and direct scientists with the potential to explore this topic to look for new, previously unexploited energy sources and innovative and effective methods of obtaining useful energy in the harvesting process.
