Smart Seats is a pioneering seating system that leverages piezoelectric sensors to convert mechanical stress into electrical energy. This technology addresses the challenges of limited non-renewable energy sources and rising electricity costs, particularly in remote areas. By capturing and converting forces such as pressure, vibration, or strain into electrical power, Smart Seats offers a promising solution for sustainable energy. The system is particularly well-suited for public transportation, where vibrations can generate substantial amounts of electricity. It employs piezoelectric sensors to create electrical energy, which is then managed
through a quadruple bias flip and a DC-to-DC power converter to adjust voltage and current for optimal use. Additionally, batteries store the generated energy for future use. This innovative approach not only supports the 7th Sustainable Development Goal (SDG 7) by ensuring accessible and reliable energy but also enhances user comfort and provides a green solution for powering small electronic devices. Future research will focus on improving energy conversion
efficiency, expanding the technology for broader applications, and seamlessly integrating it into various environments. Smart Seats represents a significant advancement in energy harvesting, offering a sustainable and efficient way to harness energy from everyday activities.
