Piezoelectric Energy Harvesting in Roadways and Railways

Abstract

Electricity has become major need nowadays and everyday a new research is conducted to find alternate sources of energy mostly focussed on non-conventional sources of energy. Nearly every aspect of our lives relies on using energy .Energy consumption is a huge part of our daily life and almost everything starts with energy .But, the sources which provide energy in present time are going to be depleted in next 50-100 years so we need alternative energy resources . Since the population is expanding at fast rate and traffic on roads has become impossible to handle, it can be taken as an opportunity to generate energy in the form of electricity from piezoelectric materials .This paper emphasis on electricity generation using piezoelectric materials .These materials produce electricity when stress is applied on them.
