Piezoelectric Energy Harvesting ARSLAN MAJID ECE DEPARTMENT UNIVERSITY OF UTAH
Overview • Energy harvesting • Piezoelectricity • Future outlook [1]
Energy Harvesting • What is it? • Macro scale- wind and solar • Micro scale- electromagnetic and piezoelectricity [3] [2]
Piezoelectricity • What is it? • Occurs in polycrystalline materials • (For example: Quartz, lead-zirconate-titanate, Rochelle salt, etc.) [4]
Piezoelectricity- Output • Output always different • High voltage, low current • Sample output: [6]
Future Outlook [7]
