“…Energy that can be harvested from PZT patches from the movement of different human organs are expressed in Figure 15, and are elaborated in Table 4. The joints of the human body are in a continuous state of motion in a fixed axis, providing an excellent opportunity to harvest energy utilizing this motion as an input mechanical source [217,218]. The human body is capable of generating 2-20 W of power from foot strike, 66.8 W from ankle movement, 36.4 W from knee movement, 38 W from hip movement, 2.1 W from elbow movement, 2.2 W from shoulder movement, and 20 W from the center of gravity [217,[219][220][221].…”

From last few decades, piezoelectric materials have played a vital role as a mechanism of energy harvesting, as they have the tendency to absorb energy from the environment and transform it to electrical energy that can be used to drive electronic devices directly or indirectly. The power of electronic circuits has been cut down to nano or micro watts, which leads towards the development of self-designed piezoelectric transducers that can overcome power generation problems and can be self-powered. Moreover, piezoelectric energy harvesters (PEHs) can reduce the need for batteries, resulting in optimization of the weight of structures. These mechanisms are of great interest for many researchers, as piezoelectric transducers are capable of generating electric voltage in response to thermal, electrical, mechanical and electromagnetic input. In this review paper, Fluid Structure Interaction-based, human-based, and vibration-based energy harvesting mechanisms were studied. Moreover, qualitative and quantitative analysis of existing PEH mechanisms has been carried out.

“…Cui et al developed a biomechanical energy harvesting sidewalk block for producing electricity from human walking. A detailed review on walking energy harvesting by piezoelectric materials was provided by Nia et al They concluded that, for this application, even though electromagnetic technology could produce higher output, the piezoelectric technology is more feasible due to its advantages such as simplicity and flexibility.…”

Summary Energy harvesting from pavements has been a topic of extensive research in the recent past. This domain has attracted not only the research community but also the industry and governmental authorities. The various sources exploited for energy harvesting from pavements and roadways are solar radiation, mechanical energy dissipated due to moving vehicles and pedestrians, geothermal energy, rainwater, and wind. This article presents an exhaustive and updated review of all potential means of energy harvesting from these sources. Following the introductory section, the article sequentially covers the energy harvesting methods and their research progress, materials, development of practical systems, commercial status, comparison of technologies, challenges, and concluding remarks. This study reveals that there is wide scope for further research and feasibility studies, which could lead to a wide‐spread implementation of the various technologies for energy harvesting from pavements and roads.

“…Several different forms, though certain pavement plates are created for the gathering of electricity, are found on the body of the consumer to collect kinetic energy. The paper concludes that the pavement that has been fitted with harvesters is more confident as it is independent of anatomical parameters than the technology used inside the bodies [11]. Patlins et al presents a process of generating electricity by power generating paving slabs.…”

Many countries have initiated strategies to produce energy from alternative sources, reduce the economic dependence on conventional sources, and limit dioxide carbon emissions. Algeria is one of the countries producing conventional energy sources (petrol and gas), the growing of fossils energy consumption in Algeria reduces its oil product exports. This paper focuses on a comprehensive view of the global electrical energy situation and exactly the renewable energy sector in Algeria with specific details of the electrical network named Pole InSalih-Adrar-Timimoun (PIAT). Also, three renewable energy centers were revised completely technically, Also, an investigation of the Algerian renewable energy plan in horizons 2030 was attained in this paper
