GERAÇÃO DE ENERGIA ATRAVÉS DA PIEZOELETRICIDADE

Abstract

This work addresses the generation of electrical energy through piezoelectricity. Such an approach is justified due to the dependence on electric energy due to technological advances. The objective of this work is to analyze the variations obtained when submitting a prototype with variations in its configuration. Thus, it will be possible to identify which configuration will optimize energy generation and reduce the cost of developing an applicable model. This task will be performed when submitting piezoelectric materials to pressure tests and their results will be measured through the oscilloscope. Initially, it will be verified through preliminary tests the generation of electric energy in an individual tablet. The results will enable the development of theoretical models that will serve as a basis for comparison for prototypes with different types of connection between parallel, series and mixed. With the results of the practical tests it was verified that the prototypes had great variation between the connections, the connection that obtained the best performance was the connection in parallel. Another point observed is regarding the curvature of the graph, the current graph has greater linearity, it is assumed that using intermediate values it is possible to establish, with the aid of mathematical tools such as linear regression, an equation that governs this phenomenon.
