In this research study, we investigate the design of a piezoelectric tree-shaped wind power
system. If there is a wind strong enough to bend the piezoelectric materials used in the energy conversion
process, the suggested system will produce voltage. In this work, two distinct types of piezoelectric
materials were utilised to generate electricity using wind-derived energy. and types of piezoelectric
materials were used - PZT-5H, and BaTiO3. The voltage produced under different wind speeds(1–30ms−1
)with various load resistors were tested to determine the maximum power output. A maximum Voltage of
10.6 v was produced when using an optimal load of 10 kohm of PZT-5A at airflow speed of 30 m s−1 .The
findings of this study provide valuable insights into the design and optimization of piezoelectric-based wind
energy harvesting systems. The optimized dimensions and material choices established in this study can
serve as a useful guideline for the development of piezoelectric-based wind energy harvesting systems in
various applications like Structural, health, Environmental, Military and defense monitoring.
