INTRODUCTION Ambient energy is abundantly available within our natural surroundings in diverse forms such as thermal energy, solar energy, mechanical energy, etc. With the upcoming energy crisis, techniques pertaining to ambient energy harvesting will be of extreme importance and valued. Piezoelectricity is electrical energy produced from piezoelectric effect enables the conversion of mechanical strain(including motions such as walking or force) to electric voltage which can be either stored or directly utilized. This mechanical strain can come from various sources and so piezoelectric elements can be embedded into various articles of our daily lives to harvest the mechanical strain into piezoelectricity. Once the pressure is relieved it may caused the electrical current flows across the material. Piezoelectric materials are being more and more studies as they turn out to be very unusual material with very specific and interesting properties. In fact in these materials have the ability to produce electrical energy from mechanical energy, for example they can convert mechanical behavior like vibrations into electricity application of stress. Conversely, it is development of an induced strain which is directly proportional to an applied electrical field. Another method of energy harvesting is performed using piezo-composite generating element (PCGE) [1-2] which can exchanged mechanical energy into electrical energy. Previous result proved that the thicknesses of piezoelectric element are the fact that will increased the output energy during triggered stress [3]. The most criteria to maximize the output power are to match the load of the converter circuit [4]. The output power of the piezoelectric devices also depends on the load connected when simple rectifier is used which has been investigated by many researchers. The equivalent circuit techniques have been used as modeling work energy harvester [5, 6, 7]. Renewable energy is one of the sustainable energy that going on focusing in global issue. In future, conventional energy sources should be reduced then alternative ways to replace the power is come from renewable energy, an approach will be introduced in generating the amount of power from human being’s interactions. Interested research in piezoelectric harvesting energy has seen growing. Software tools simulation was established (ECM) by using combination of FEA and SPICE simulation software [8]. An approached Rayleigh-Ritz theoretically of piezoelectric harvesting energy to investigated the power around single vibration mode [9]. The idea was proposed of performing numerical simulation of suppression the vibration and investigation how the system works when energy supplied regularly from outside [10]. However some researcher focused about the use of transducer voice or pneumatic tools that could be collecting a waste energy from vibration material [11-13]. Although this method could effectively suppress vibration, it was designed suppression by external force. Piezoelectric Stacked Generator shown that the piezoelectric generator produces electrical power with higher efficiency, and energy harvesting circuit can harvest energy from the piezoelectric generator effectively [14]. A modeling and simulation of piezoelectric power supply LTC 3588-1 of linear technology by using simulink simulation [15].based on above method an optimal rapid energy store using LTC 3588 for the stackable piezoelectric was proposed to obtain 15mAH Ni-MH battery could be fully charge within two hours [16]. However the infinite software is great powerful tools, the system not appropriate with the easier monitoring output display in digital number Storage circuit and energy harnessing were not interacted between each other. Among of the researcher were established of many combination interface circuit to obtain maximum output power from the devices [17]. Introducing the regulation circuit using rectifier [18], however this connection not successfully because the characteristics of rectifier and the storage system are simplified pure resistance. Although the rectification’s nonlinearity was not fully explored recently, thus an optimization method were structure the energy storage circuit and approached the method including difference mechanical structure, the inspection have been made to increase the output power [19].
