Abstract


In today’s era necessity of Non- Conventional energy has increased as the requirement of power is also increasing gradually. Renewable sources such as solar, wind etc. are used to deal with this human necessity of power. However these sources are not enough and alongside the wastage of energy are increasing by several means. To overcome this problem we intent to employ the power released by human locomotion by engineering the floors with piezo electric sensors specially in more populated areas. These sensors sense the pressure of footsteps and convert the same into electrical energy. This will neither adulterate the environment, nor can the change in climatic conditions affect this. This kind of technology is an economical way of power generation and has ample of applications.

 

Keywords: Piezoelectric sensors, inverter, microcontroller, power conversion
