ANALISIS DAYA KELUARAN PIEZOELEKTRIK PZT 12 MM DAN 27 MM SEBAGAI ENERGY HARVESTER PADA KEYBOARD KETIK TENKEYLESS (TKL) DENGAN VARIASI JUMLAH KARAKTER TERHADAP PENGISIAN KAPASITOR
As a clean energy source with great potential, piezoelectricity offers electrical energy with the concept of energy harvesting which is the conversion of mechanical energy to electrical energy. This research was conducted using an experimental method using variables in the form of the number of keystrokes typed of 100, 200, and 300 characters. The parameters measured, calculated, and analyzed include current, voltage, and output power. At a maximum load condition of 300 characters, the 12 mm PZT produces an average voltage of 221.533 mV, a current of 0.11 mA, and an output power of 25.006 mW. Meanwhile, the 27 mm PZT shows much better performance with an average voltage of 1513.333 mV, a current of 1.245 mA, and an output power of up to 1886.25 mW. It can be concluded that the diameter of the piezoelectric material has a crucial influence on the energy conversion capability, where the 27 mm PZT variant produces a very different output power relative to the 12 mm PZT with the same number of characters typed.
