METHODOLOGY Abstract - Electrical power is the rate at which electrical 4Professor,
energy is converted to another form, such as motion, heat, or electromagnetic field. Usage of power turns to be necessity for every work in today's world. To make our daily routines comfortable, the electronic devices are used in large numbers. To generate voltage from footsteps or vehicles the piezo sensors are mounted below the platform. To generate maximum output voltage the sensors are placed in seriesparallel arrangement. This is then given to our monitoring circuitry. The circuit is the micro-controller based circuit that displays output voltage on Liquid Crystal Display. Also, it consists of a USB port where a user can connect cables to charge his/her cell phone. The current is then distributed using (radio-frequency identification) RFID cards so that only an authorized person can access to the system. Thus, we charge a battery using power generated from the footsteps and is display it on LCD using a micro-controller circuit and allow for mobile charging. Major components of our system are Piezo-Sensors, micro-controller ATMEGA328P, LCD and RFID tags.
2.1 Working Principle The system in our project works on piezoelectric effect. It is the ability of certain materials to generate an electrical charge in response to applied mechanical stress. we are using piezoelectric sensors, which is a device that uses the piezoelectric effect to measure the changes in pressure, acceleration, strain, or force by converting them to an electrical charge.
2.2 System Model In the our proposed system we are using piezo sensors and RFID tags. This system is installed at crowded places like railway platforms, roads, shopping malls, schools etc. In this system we have used piezo sensor plate. After applying pressure on piezoelectric plate, voltage is developed across the plate. That voltage is stored in the battery for charging purpose. This is then provided to our monitoring circuitry. LCD is interfaced with a piezo-sensor using a microcontroller that allows the user to monitor the voltage and displaying purpose.RFID(radio-frequency identification) is interfaced with the micro-controller to give access to the authorized users & it consists of a USB mobile phone charging point where the user can connect cables to charge the mobile phone.
Key Words: Piezo-Sensors, ATMEGA328P, LCD ,RFID tags, Rechargeable Battery, Quartz.
1. INTRODUCTION Energy is the ability to do work. Its consumption is increasing rapidly. Electricity is generally generated from resources like water, wind, coal, etc. for generating the electricity from these resources big plants are needed which requires high maintenance and high cost. It is the responsibility of the present development to give alternative solutions for electrical power generation from which the expanding human population that does not affect the natural resources. For an alternate solution to generate electricity there are number of methods by which electricity can be generated, out of these methods piezo-sensor energy generation can be an effective method to produce electricity.
1.1 Aim of project The aim of our project is to generate power using nonconventional method due to shortage of coal, oil, natural gas and utilize the produced power for charging. Fig -1: System Model
