Power Generation Using Renewable Energy Sources

From last few decades the use of electronic devices having low power consumption is increased innumerably. The concept of renewable energy is arising due to rise in energy requirement of portable electronic equipments. Aim of the paper is to convert the renewable energy into an electrical energy. In this paper a piezoelectric generator is designed which will generate electrical energy by using applied vibrations and pressure of footsteps during the walking. The renewable energy sources such as piezoelectric material, solar energy and wind energy are used to produce power. These non-electrical energy sources are converted into electrical energy. Programming is done using the MPLAB software. The Hardware is usually the PCB part. It comprises of PIC microcontroller which is the heart of the system PIC16F886 Microcontroller. The system designed is easy to implement and cost effective.
