Abstract

In the high demanding energy of modern society, the resource of fossil fuels are getting decreases in supplies and causing the increasing of energy costs. New renewable sources of energy and alternative method need to be explore for the future in order to reduce global oil crisis. Energy generates using mechanical energy convert into electrical energy for purpose use to harvest energy through storage system and provide renewable energy to utilize for road light. Piezoelectric materials have property to provide energy and have ability to convert a mechanical vibration strain into an electrical energy potential for harvesting energy. Piezoelectric can generate energy and convert the energy of mechanical vibrations into electrical energy that can be found in environmental such as movement of vehicles and vibrations of vehicles. Main purposes of this project is to generate energy from being waste and sustain the energy remain resources in the earth. Selection of piezoelectric materials is vital to choose the most suitable piezoelectric sensor based on the specifications and suitable energy output. Thus, the piezoelectric energy harvesting system needs to be developing for renewable energy and uses to harvest the energy normally lost in environment and convert it into electrical energy supply for road lamp system. The piezoelectric energy harvesting system reduces the dependency on the non-renewable energy and develops a self-generate system. Furthermore, project focuses on the design and development of piezoelectric energy harvesting system for the road lamp system.
