Simulation of Power Optimum circuits for 15*(3×3) Piezo Array Installation

The main motive of this project is to improve the output level of piezo arrays using a continuous mode of DC-DC converter. Many countries get their electrical energy from renewable sources because renewable sources are less harmful to the environment. In general, the conversion of solar and wind energy plays an energetic role in renewable energy sources, but both energy conversion processes depend on geographic location and weather conditions. Kinetic energy is available in many forms in the environment. One well-known example of kinetic energy is wind energy conversion but cannot be applied everywhere. Other kinetic energy conversions also present in our day-to-day life. Examples include piezoelectricity from step energy generation and mechanical vibration rectifiers [MVR] from railways. All of these energy conversions are less powerful due to the amount of kinetic energy available and the mechanical structure of the material. Therefore, in this project we will model a piezo array with boost converter operation to optimize voltage levels. Total energy conversion process modeled and verified by using MATLAB-SIMULINK platform.
