 INTRODUCTION

 INDIVIDUAL ELEMENTS OF BLOCK DIAGRAM.
 ADVANTAGES.
 APPLICATIONS & CONCLUSION.
 Wastage of energy increased in many ways.
So reforming of energy back to usable form is
the major solution. Power generation using
conservative methods became deficient. To
overcome this problem, the energy wastage
can be converted to usable form using the
PIEZOELECTRIC sensor. This sensor converts
the pressure on it to a voltage. So by using
this energy saving method , that is footstep
power generation system we are generating
power.
 This project is used to generate voltage using
footstep force. This project is very useful in
public places like bus stands , theatres ,
railway stations, shopping malls, etc. so
these systems are placed in public places
where people walk and they have to travel
on this system to get through the entrance or
exits.
 Then these systems may generate voltage on
each and every step of a foot.
 Forthis purpose, piezoelectric sensor is used
in order to measure force, pressure and
acceleration by its change into electric
signals. This system uses voltmeter for
measuring output.

A Piezoelectric sensor is an electric device
which is used to measure acceleration,
pressure, or force to convert them into a
electric signal. These sensors are mainly used
for process control, quality assurance,
research and development in various
industries.
 Lead acid battery is used in PV systems due
to low cost and easily available everywhere
in the world.
 Available in both sealed and wet cell
batteries.
 High reliability to with stand over charge,
over discharge & shock.
 Tested using COMPUTER AIDED DESIGN.
 used in UPS SYSTEM & INVERTER.
 This is the MICROCONTROLLER used.
 Features:
 8K bytes ROM, 256 bytes RAM.
 3 timers.
 32 input pins.
 One serial port.
 8 interrupt sources.
 We are using this microcontroller to
display the amount of battery get charged
when we place our footstep on piezoelectric
sensor.
 An ADC is a device that converts analog to
digital signal.
 This may offer isolated measurement.
 This is an electronic device that alters an
analog input like voltage or current to a
digital output, which is related to the
magnitude of the voltage or current.
 Nevertheless, some partially electronic
devices like rotary encoders, can also be
considered as ADC’s.

 It is used to remove the ripples from the
output of the DC which is received from the
filter, & it is constant until the load and
mains voltage is kept constant. Though , if
either of the two is varied, then the received
DC voltage at the point changes. So a
regulator is applied at the output stage.
 Aninverter is an electrical device that
converts direct current to alternating
current; the converted alternating current
can be at any required voltage & frequency
with the use of applicable control circuits,
transformers and switching.
 Voltage sampler or sample and hold circuit is an
essential analog building block and the
applications of voltage sampler include switched
capacitor filters and analog to digital converters
. The main function of sample and hold circuit is
to sample an analog i/p signal and hold this
value over a particular length of time for
subsequent processing . Sample and hold circuit
is designed using only one capacitor and one MOS
transistor . The working of this circuit is straight
forward . When CK is high , then the MOS switch
will be ON , which in turns permits output
voltage to track input voltage . When CK is low
then MOS switch will be OFF.
 Asterm indicates this circuit lets only one
direction current flowing. They are DIODES &
THYRISTORS. In this diode(D=1N4007) is used
as a unidirectional current controller. The
main function of the diode is, it allows the
flow of current in only one direction while
blocking current in reverse direction.
A 16*2 LCD display is used in the footstep
power generation project to display the
voltage status. It is also provided with a
contrast adjusting pin.
 Eco friendly.
 Waste of energy reduction.
 Less maintanance cost.
 Ultra low noise.
 Wide dynamic and temperature range etc.
 Used to drive both AC and DC loads according
to the pressure we have applied on the
piezoelectric sensor.
 Street lighting.
 Mobile charging.
 Used in power failure situations.
 The application area of this mainly include
public area like temples, streets, metros,
railway stations. Thus this is all about the
footstep power generation system using
microcontroller which is affordable,
economical.
