Foot Step Micro-Level Power Generation

In this paper, we presented an ideology for designing & implementing micro-level power generation to achieve reliable & sufficient amounts of power by using piezo-electric transducers. Based on the principle of converting mechanical pressure into electrical energy. The main intention is to draw the required amount of power by using the mechanical press through

Micro-Generation

The intent of microgeneration is to allow consumers to offset a portion or all of their electricity needs by generating electricity from renewable or alternative energy sources. Systems are sized based on the last twelve months of consumption, or the projected load if it

Policymakers were accustomed to an energy system based on big, centralised projects like nuclear or gas-fired power stations. A change of mindsets and incentives are bringing microgeneration into the mainstream. Planning regulations may also require streamlining to facilitate the retrofitting of microgenerating facilities onto homes and buildings. Most of developed countries, including Canada (Alberta), the United Kingdom, Germany, Polan
