Economics and Environment Assessment of A Coupled Solar-Piezo Electricity Generation for Environmentally Friendly Hybrid Charging System

Abstract

In this paper, a combination of renewable and free energy sources is proposed and studied to implement an efficient way to power generation. The energy harvesting plays a vital role in supplying the energy to various applications compared to conventional works. Footstep's pressure and photovoltaic (PV) panel are the input sources for proposed converter. This paper presents the simulation and prototype consideration and reliability of a coupled of solar and piezo electricity generation for hybrid charging system. This project also designs a Simulink model of Solar and Piezoelectric Hybrid Charging System for simulation and data analysis. Due to their accessibility and inexpensive price, renewable resources such as solar energy have seen a growth in demand in recent years. The goal of this project is to find a method to overcome smartphones charging problem when people are spending time outdoors or when they are on the go, with an economical approach.
