An H-shaped framed piezoelectric energy harvester for capturing vibration energy from railway tracks.

This paper presents an H-shaped piezoelectric stack energy harvester designed to capture energy from track vibrations between railway sleepers. The harvester achieved an impressive maximum output power of 29.64 mW, demonstrating the efficient conversion of mechanical energy into electrical power.

Simulation and Experimental Study of a Piezoelectric Stack Energy Harvester for Railway Track Vibrations.

As one of the most important modes of transportation, the safety of running trains and railway tracks is significant. It is essential to power sensors that detect and track health in remote areas. The vibration energy of the track structure is enormous, stable, and not limited by weather factors such as the sun and wind.
