Abstract

Energy is important for life and all living things in this era of globalization. It is a choices and decisions in energy affect natural systems on Earth. Throughout modern society 's high demand for electricity, the resources of fossil fuels are rising supplies and the energy prices are growing. Renewable energy should be used to reduce emissions of greenhouse gasses and to reduce the use of fossil fuels. Piezoelectric is a common energy harvesting source that is a process of energy extraction, conversion and storage, which can be produced by heat, vibration, and movement. When pressure is applied, piezoelectric effect will convert mechanical energy to electrical energy. The main goals of this project is to provide such a backup power source and to recharge storage devices such as batteries and capacitors for lighting up the streetlight when needed. This project also will be install and applied at pedestrian. The prototype of the project has undergo an experiment of using a different circuit connection where the data from the prototype project is analyse. As the result, it shows that the output that by using a series parallel connection for the circuit is higher then other connection. This system generate an average output energy around 1.75 volt when it reach 73 step. The retrieved data from the project prototype system is then been analyse, evaluate and kept for further improvements. In conclusion, all the objective for this Piezoelectric Generation at Pedestrian for Street Lamp Application have been successfully achieved.
