Abstract
This project aims to revolutionize energy utilization in the textile industry by optimizing Modified Piezo Matrix-based electro-kinetic energy generation from weaving power looms. It focuses on harnessing kinetic energy from two sources—the open-end head frame and the Weaving X-Y Shuttle box—both generating sequential kinetic energy during weaving. The experimental setup employs a specialized configuration: a 4(4x2) matrix piezo for the open-end head frame and a 2(2x10) matrix piezo for the Weaving X-Y Shuttle box. This arrangement efficiently captures and converts kinetic energy, resulting in remarkable energy outputs of 9.51 Hp and 2.60 Hp for the Open end Head frame and Weaving X-Y shuttle box, respectively. To further enhance energy utilization and integration, a second-level DC-DC power conversion approach is employed, utilizing the Super Lift Luo converter(90%η). This strategy ensures efficient energy transfer and seamless integration with the Industrial DC microgrid. The project’s objectives encompass minimizing reliance on fossil fuels, promoting sustainability, and highlighting the potential of electrokinetic solutions for industrial energy optimization. By tapping into previously overlooked kinetic energy sources and maximizing their conversion, this project presents a pioneering effort toward sustainable practices in the textile sector, contributing to environmentally-conscious production methods.
