So the power generation by the food step with the help of piezoelectric sensors also one of the method among the various methods of power generation in minute level. This power generation not a continuous production which depends on the persons used the corresponding footsteps. So continuous monitoring of this power generation is leads to waste of time and resource also. This problem identifica- tion can be cleared with the help of an IOT (Internet of things) control arrangement on it. The correspond- ing system connected with IOT leads to avoid continues monitoring and separate resources to control the power production which also help to maintenances for the correct time of need from wherever and whenever.

Introduction There are so many power production methods available such as thermal power production [1], nuclear power production [2], hydroelectrically power production [3], solar power production [4], windmill power production etc [5]. But in this investigation is based on the power production by the human energy applied in the footsteps which converted into the power generation with the help of the sensors and produced energy can be stored in to the bat- teries [6–11]. Also the current technology used to monitor and maintain the total system named as internet of things [12–16]. The required data of the corresponding systems can be updated with the help of the internet connected systems [17], laptops [18] and smart phones [19] to identify the current position and condi- tion of the system in anytime and everywhere [20–24]. 2. Experimental setup The power generation set up concept with piezoelectric sensor setup is clearly shown in Fig. 1 as a flow chart [25–31]. It consists of piezoelectric sensors [32], unidirectional diode [33], DC to DC booster [34], super capacitor [35], storage device (12 V battery) [36], DC to AC inverter [37], Relay [38] and supply to AC load [39]. The above mentioned parts were clearly connected as per the Fig. 1 produce the power by the applied load on the piezoelec- tric transducer [40–43]. The applied load creates electricity on the piezoelectric sensor which is transferred to the unidirectional diode [44,45]. Then the diode supplied the electricity to the DC- DC booster to increase the direct current level and passed to the super capacitor [46,47]. The super capacitor used to intermediate of the storage device [48,49]. Then the stored power can be inverted by the inverter as AC from DC then the relays used to operate the AC loads [50,51]. The above mentioned piezoelectric setup is up to super capaci- tor were placed in every step in as per the Fig. 2 to create the series connection of the piezoelectric setups [52,53]. There are twelve steps considered for this investigation. This series connection is connected with the storage device of 12 V capacity battery [54,55]. There is a connection also available to use the produced power from this arrangement. The piezoelectric setup further con- nected with analog to digital converter to convert the piezoelectric sensors sensed power converted from the analog to the digital out- puts then the connections continues through the ATMEL AT89552 and ends with the relay. This arrangement is clearly shown in https://doi.org/10.1016/j.matpr.2020.04.782 2214-7853/Ó 2020 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
