Abstract

This paper proposes the application of a hybrid floor tile that generates electricity from two renewable energy resources. This dual-resource tile uses solar PV energy as well as piezoelectric energy. The surface of the tile is formed of solar PV panel that converts sunlight into electricity during daytime. A piezoelectric device is installed within the tile to convert mechanical energy from footsteps into electrical energy at any time according to foot traffic in the place. These tiles can create energy to be used instantly in real time or it can store that energy to be used afterwards. The tile platform design can be used as a sidewalk or pathway placed in areas with high amounts of foot traffic. The main objective for the research is to investigate the implementation of this hybrid tile design in the International Cairo Stadium of Egypt. The research aims to study managing a low-cost, efficient, and clean energy tile design. The research studied the economic and the environmental aspects for the implementation of this hybrid tile over a 1600m2 of the athletics track in International Cairo Stadium of Egypt. The results showed that it is a worthwhile technology to be deployed
