IoT Based Smart Street Light Control Including Piezoelectric Energy Source

Abstract

The major objective of this project is to tackle the worldwide power problem, while it is not enough to satisfy an excessive demand for electricity but can alter and reduce dependence on traditional electric energy generation methods. This project emphasizes on a never-ending loop for the best outcome of efficiency and minimum rate of cost-cutting. First step of the project is to generate power by human footsteps with the help of PiezoElectric and then store that power in a battery cell. Then the power generation is controlled and monitored by an IoT device to avoid wastage of time and resources. Again with the help of IoT, the load can be controlled (street lamp can be turned on or off). But the IoT device is needed to be charged for continuous monitoring. It will be an extra cost if an outside source is taken to charge the IoT device. So, the charges from that storage battery are used to charge the IoT device. This project can assist terminating power shortage in the city area as well as in the rural area. The worldwide generation of energy from each new technique is encouraged by the necessity for daily living. And this project attends the main motto of that theme.
