Abstract:
This paper presents different energy capture methods with application to the piezoelectric sensors, such as in small power electrical sources in applications. Piezoelectric material elements of sensors convert mechanical energy into electrical charges, due to the direct piezoelectric effect. Collecting energy from the environment is a major area of interest to the development of unconventional renewable energy sources and creates electrical energy, comparatively with the classic one. Potential energies sources from the environment could be successfully used. The photostrictive devices incorporate intelligent materials, illumination sensing and self-production of drive or control voltage.
