Electrical equipment stairs for energy storage

Can electrical energy be used to power stairs?

The electrical energy thus produced can be used to power the lightings available for the stairs. We plan to capture energy from the everyday motion of people traveling up and down a staircase. We can modify a normal stair tread to move a small distance and the vibrational energy will be converted to electrical energy using Piezo-electric Generator.

How does a staircase power harvesting system work?

Instead of looking for new ways to generate energy, we will be focusing on harvesting energy from everyday activities that would otherwise be lost. A person exerts lots of force when they walk down the stairs. The staircase power harvesting system intends to turn this energy into electrical power using a piezo-electric generator.

Can a staircase power harvesting system improve battery life?

A person exerts lots of force when they walk down the stairs. The staircase power harvesting system intends to turn this energy into electrical power using a piezo-electric generator. In this study, which is a first in the literature, we propose an alternative solution to the dynamo and an improvement for the battery lifetime.

Can we generate power while stepping on the stairs?

Therefore, renewable energy such as solar, wind and tidal power are the only options that the world will be left with to survive in the future. In this paper, a mechanism is proposed to generate power while stepping on the stairs which can be stored and used.

Does a staircase generate electricity?

This project is about a staircase that generates electricity when used. The staircase has steps that swivel and lower down with each use, and this motion is amplified using leverage.

What is electrical energy storage (EES)?

Electrical Energy Storage, EES, is one of the key technologies in the areas covered by the IEC. EES techniques have shown unique capabilities in coping with some critical characteristics of electricity, for example hourly variations in demand and price.
