Proceedings of the World Congress on Engineering 2012 Vol II WCE 2012, July 4 - 6, 2012, London, U.K. Modeling and Simulation of Piezoelectric Energy Harvesting Ahmed Telba Member, IAENG, Wahied G. Ali  materials exhibiting the piezoelectric effect are called the Abstract—Energy harvesting has received growing attention piezoelectric materials. The piezoelectric effect is usually over the last decade. The research motivation in this field is divided into two types as the direct and the converse of due to the reduced power requirement of small electronic piezoelectric effects. components, such as the wireless sensor networks used in In the simplest terms, when a piezoelectric materials is structural health monitoring applications. The ultimate goal in this research field is to power such small electronic devices by squeezed (mechanically strained) electric charges collects at using the vibration energy available in their environment. If the electrodes located on its surface. This called the direct this can be achieved, the requirement of an external power piezoelectric effect and it was first demonstrated by the source as well as the maintenance requirement for periodic Currie brothers in 1880[1]. If the same material is subjected battery replacement can be minimized. In this paper, the to a voltage drop (i.e. an electrical p
