Abstract Piezoelectric energy harvesting is considered as an ideal power resource for low-power consumption gadgets in vibrational environments. The extraction efficiency depends highly on the interface circuit, and should be improved to meet requirements. nonlinear circuits discrete components have been extensively explored developed with advantages of easy implementation, stable operation, hi...

Energy harvesting is the process of foraging electrical energy from energy sources available in the environment. This paper reviews energy harvesting technology using PZT as the specific piezoceramic material with its modules to determine the capacitance for optimal energy-storage in piezoelectric vibration energy harvesting (VEH) systems . It reviews various applications of piezoelectric energ...

This study investigates the potential of vortex-induced vibration (VIV) as a renewable energy source, achieved when fluid flow interacts with bluff body, inducing self-sustained oscillations through vortex shedding in wake. While VIV research has traditionally focused on understanding its mechanisms and mitigating detrimental effects, interest harvesting surged means to convert marine hydrokine...

Energy is everywhere in the environment surrounding us i.e. it is available in the form of thermal energy, light (solar) energy, wind energy, and mechanical energy etc. However, the energy from these sources is often found in such minute quantities that it cannot supply adequate power for any viable purpose. In fact, it has not been possible to capture such energy sufficiently to perform any us...
