The growing demand for renewable energy has led to the exploration of innovative energy harvesting techniques. This study focuses on a hybrid footstep power generation system, integrating piezoelectric sensors and a solar panel to generate electricity. The proposed system harnesses mechanical energy from footsteps using piezoelectric transducers and supplements it with solar energy from a 9V photovoltaic panel. The generated power is conditioned using a full-wave bridge rectifier, capacitors, and an inverter circuit before being stored in a 12V lead-acid battery. An I2C-based 16x2 LCD display is used for real-time monitoring. Experimental results demonstrate the efficiency of combining piezoelectric and solar energy sources for low-power applications such as street lighting. The study highlights the feasibility, efficiency, and potential applications of hybrid footstep power generation in high-footfall areas like railway stations, shopping malls, and pedestrian walkways.}, keywords = {Hybrid Energy, Footstep Power, Piezoelectric Sensors, Solar Power, Renewable Energy, Inverter Circuit, Energy Storage, Smart Cities}, month = {April}, }
