Experimental and Simulation Validation of Piezoelectric Road Energy Harvesting

This project strived to develop a prototype road piezoelectric energy harvester RPEH system using five Lead Zirconate Titanate (PZT) PZT 5H modules (stacks) that are embedded in the by means of housing unit harvest from vehicles stressing modules. The work is an extension our previous published same journal. design considered many factors optimize harvested energy. proposed first captures mechanical designed module transfers stacks. Then captured will be converted into electrical phenomenon. stored storage device, then analyzed oscilloscope through acquisition voltage, current, power, and When testing with wheel tracking machine, varying resistor loads where connected output address optimum power delivered load. load was found 950 k?, optimal recorded as 45 uJ.
