    Piezoelectricity harvests electrical energy from mechanical pressure and can be used for energy harvesting. When pressure is applied to certain materials, they generate an electric charge which can then be converted into usable electricity. This effect is being used to generate power from walking motion on piezoelectric floors and tiles. Applications include powering LED street lights, homes, and IoT devices. One installation in Tokyo railway station is able to generate over 1,400kW per day from footfall which is enough to power the station's systems. This provides a renewable and sustainable alternative to remote areas that rely on bulky batteries with associated emissions.

    Energy Harvesting using PiezoElectric Effect

    Team ID: E-024


    What is PiezoElectric Effect?
    When pressure is applied on an object, a negative charge is
    created on the expanded side and a positive charge is created
    on the compressed side. As this pressure is relieved, electric
    current flows across the substance.
    How does it work?
    PiezoElectricity

    Piezoelectricity is electrical energy harvested from mechanical


    pressure such as walking motion.
    Problems?
    Remote Areas
    Bulky Batteries
    Greenhouse Gas Emissions
    ● For each unit of energy, 0.93Kg of carbon dioxide is
    emitted.

    ● On an average, thermal power plant of 2.5MWatt


    capacity which uses lignite coal as the source
    produces 55,800 Kg of carbon dioxide per day.
    The global electricity demand will grow by almost
    80% during the period of 2012-2040 in the
    International Energy Agency’s New Policies
    Scenario.
    Two Days!
    Present Scenario
    1. Each footfall generates up to 7 watts at 12 volts DC, enough
    to run an LED street lamp for 30 seconds.

    2. Pavegen floor tiles, during the peak hours will be stepped


    upon 926-1889 times per hour which produces about 56
    kWh per weekday.
    Innowattech Energy Harvesting Systems
    based in Israel

    Innowattech's solution is capable of producing about


    400 kWh from a 1 km stretch of generators (assuming
    600 vehicles go through the road segment in an hour),
    enough energy to power 600-800 homes.
    JAPAN
    1. Applied Piezoelectric effect on Tokyo Railway
    Station.

    2. Nearly 40,000 people visit the station on an average


    day.

    3. The total amount of floor-space will add up to


    around 25 square meters, and they expect to obtain
    over 1,400kw per day – more than enough to power
    their systems.
