Piezoelectric Energy Characterization: Materials and Utilization

Abstract

This article exposes a new form of alternative and clean power generation. Being its objective to characterize, the models and use of the existing materials that comes to be more useful to generate energy. Bibliographic research was used as a method for data collection, through the study of existing articles that open the piezoelectric system. From the evaluation of the existing data, it was observed that to quantify the energy generation of these materials, besides simulating in software the amount generated is made the prototype for accurate measurement of the generated energy values. However, this is a task that requires a lot of study, so that, finally, it can reach usable values ​​to supply the desired electrical systems. The results show that the amount of energy generated is different for each method used, which depends on the type of material and the harvesting procedures performed, among the most used materials is the "cantilever" being the best in relation to the generation of Therefore, it is evident that the present article seeks to demonstrate the existing modes of generation through the use of this piezoelectric effect. Thus, it is expected to draw attention to this type of electricity production.
