This paper is a practical study about an IoT-enabled dual-model piezoelectric energy harvesting system designed to convert mechanical energy from human footsteps into electrical power that can be used. The system consists of two prototypes: a public infrastructure model, where piezoelectric sensors are embedded under high-footfall areas to power LED streetlights, and a wearable model integrated into footwear for charging low-power electronic devices. Arduino UNO and ESP32 microcontrollers is used by both these models for data collection and wireless transmission, with the collected energy data synchronized with Firebase and is visualized using a Flutter mobile application. The study showcases real-time monitoring and data tracking for both models. According to experimental analysis, the public model produces approximately 11 W of energy that can be used from 4,456 footsteps, while the wearable model generates around 0.48 W from 475 steps. The suggested system provides a cost-effective, portable, and eco-friendly solution for local energy generation, supporting smart infrastructure and sustainable urban development.
