“…These two layers are attached to each other by bonding, and the piezoelectric layer is shocked electrically at the desired resistance via external circuitry [10]. The number of PZT harvesters may vary according to the application (i.e., unimorph PZT configuration [233] and bimorph PZT configuration [234]). A quantitative analysis (summary) of various cantilever beam mechanism-based piezoelectric energy harvesting schemes is expressed in Table 5.…”

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.

“…15. Flowchart of the proposed algorithm by Mukhanov [19] The above suggested result is also presented by Roundy et al which concluded that the resonant frequency of a system that operates at the 31mode is much lower and leading the system to drive in the natural environment at resonance and thus providing more power [18,64]. Jiang et al research states that a stack configuration that contain a large number of thin piezoceramic wafers as stack with the electric field applied along its length provides an increased output and also concluded that both the resistive load and the voltage output are much more manageable than in a monolithic configuration [58].…”

Piezoelectric elements are inevitable in modern day physics playing a vital role in many applications. Any piezoelectric element requires compression to produce energy in the form of a weak electrical ac signal. Mechanical vibrations are known to cause deflections which are enough to produce energy from the piezoelectric materials. In this paper, a review of the piezoelectric materials is made on their basic modes of excitation for producing energy. Also, various mechanisms and techniques used to harvest energy recently are presented and discussed extensively. Piezoelectric energy harvesting using MEMS is emphasized much as this is the era of micromechanical systems. Most of the piezoelectric energy harvesting systems relies on cantilever-oriented deflection to produce maximum vibration. In general cantilever beams fitted with piezoelectric materials produce electrical energy from mechanical vibration when deflected; hence detailed review on the different shapes of cantilever is also submitted. Significant parameters contributing to improved performance are dealt with special importance.
