        abstract = {The increasing demand for sustainable and renewable energy has led to the development of micro-energy harvesting systems. This paper presents the design and implementation of a piezoelectric-based footstep electrical energy harvesting system that converts mechanical energy from human footsteps into electrical energy. The system utilizes a piezoelectric sensor array arranged in a series-parallel configuration to enhance output performance. The generated AC voltage is rectified, regulated, and stored in a rechargeable energy storage unit. An Arduino-based monitoring system is integrated to measure voltage in real time. Experimental results show that output voltage increases with applied pressure and number of sensors. The system is eco-friendly, cost-effective, and suitable for high-footfall areas such as railway stations and smart infrastructure.},
