Abstract
With the advancement in nanotechnology and wireless electronic devices, it has become necessary to build an utterly self-powered device that relies on micro-power sources. Due to adverse and complicated conditions of the environment in the sea, supplying energy and voltage to ships, submarines, and other sea equipment has become a very tough task. So, green energy harvesting system has made remarkable progress in this field. Keeping this in view, there is a scope to develop an effective, efficient and stable model for piezoelectric energy harvesting that can withstand the high pressure of flowing water. The main vision of the present system is to offer a renewable source of energy that may not only produce continuous energy from waste flowing water and available energy of surroundings but can be used as a feasible solution to power portable electronic devices. Therefore, in the current proposed work, an effort has been made to design the proposed setup of the piezoelectric energy harvesting structure with hydro-dynamism via mathematical modelling and simulation. Modelling and simulation have been done by ANSYS software by the striking of laminar flowing water with a mean velocity of ‘30 m/s’ on a circular cylindrical structure of length ‘1000 mm’ with diameter ‘200 mm’, containing a rectangular beam and PZT piezoelectric plate at a distance of ‘202.698 mm’ from an inlet of the cylinder. The phenomena of vortex shedding occurred behind the bluff body by striking flowing fluid. Consequently, the piezoelectric beam structure started to oscillate. As a result of this vibration, a voltage of 0.026V has been generated within the beam and piezoelectric patch arrangement, and it can be stored in batteries for future purposes.
