The design and study of piezoelectric energy harvesters for wireless sensor networks (WSNs) includes the creation of effective energy solutions to increase the operating life of sensors without requiring frequent battery changes. These harvesters are intended to capture energy from piezoelectric sources. This study focuses on providing a sustainable power supply for WSNs through the use of piezoelectric materials. These materials can transfer mechanical vibrations from surrounding sources into electrical energy. The primary goal of this study is to maximise the quantity of energy that can be captured by maximising the piezoelectric harvester’s design parameters. These parameters include material selection, geometric arrangements, and the harvester’s positioning in various circumstances. Sophisticated modelling approaches and analytical models are used to forecast the harvester’s performance across a range of vibrational frequencies and amplitudes. In addition, experimental validation is performed to ensure that the theoretical models are accurate. The investigation reveals the primary factors influencing the efficiency and feasibility of piezoelectric energy harvesters. These considerations include resonance tuning, power conditioning circuits, and integration with energy storage systems. Both of these factors are well examined. Not only does this comprehensive approach highlight the potential of piezoelectric harvesters to significantly improve the energy autonomy of WSNs, but it also lays the groundwork for future advances in low-power, self-sustaining sensor networks.
