presents a pioneering invention for
Parasitic Energy harvesting. We provide
genuine environmental benefits where parasitic mechanical energy on roads, highways,
railways and airport runaways, are harvested and transferred back, in a process
by which the energy is captured, stored and reused.
The
system is based on piezoelectric generators; the piezoelectric effect converts mechanical
strain into electrical current or voltage. The constitutive relations for piezoelectric
materials are based on the assumption that the total strain in the actuator is the
sum of the mechanical strain induced by the stress; the thermal strain caused by
temperature integrated in the piezoelectric effect, and the controllable actuation
strain caused by the electric voltage.
Piezoelectric generators with various dimensions, from a few centimeters
to large surfaces, are investigated, developed and demonstrated. The generators
are embedded between the superstructure layers, and usually supposed to be covered
with an asphalt topping layer. The generators are mounted with electronic cards
supplying the storage system. Assimilation of the present system, generators and
electronic cards, is planned to be performed during paving of new roads or in the
course of the maintenance work.
is the first company to demonstrate a green alternative for electricity production
up to industrial size. The parasitic energy of busy roads, railroads and runways
near population centers can be converted into electrical energy that can be supplied
back to the customers either by light or back into the national electric grid..
estimation shows a potential of about hundreds till thousand kilowatts per hour.
It is designed to encourage the generation and use of additional renewable energy
sources for electricity generation.
