Prototype of Electrical Generator Device from Piezoelectric with Serial Configuration-Based on Mechanical Pressure

Abstract

Abstract This study discussed about of prototype of electrical generator device from piezoelectric with serial configuration - based on mechanical pressure. A prototype of a piezoelectric-based power plant that is able to convert mechanical energy (footing) or object load on piezoelectric into electrical energy was the aim of this research. The piezolectric generation system can be applied to serve limited loads and can be a support system for a distributed generation system. The method of research was device design and experimental testing. The experimental testing was carried out by varying pressures on piezoelectric to produce the desired output voltage. In testing, the pressure was generated by two different objects, a human footing and a object load with varying weight. The average voltage produced on human footing was 9.736 V for 60 kg body weight. The average voltage produced on object loads was 1.33 V for 5 kg object weight. This research has succeeded in making a prototype of a power plant using piezoelectric.
