The conversion of mechanical energy created by environmental vibrations into electrical energy is the main advantage of piezoelectric materials. An energy harvester with the help of photoelectric sensor using non-toxic Barium titanate is studied and a model of energy harvester unit is simulated in COMSOL multiphysics software package. This simulation of piezoelectric sensor to detect environmental vibration through rolling noise are investigated and compared for different frequency. In common practices, the rolling noise induces sound wave in the railway track. This rolling noise is a wave which is useless in nature. But, this unwanted rolling noise may be used in a transducer to convert the unwanted form of energy to useful electrical form of energy. In the new era of science, the new ideas about induction of new form energy without harming the environment are needed. This paper is dedicated to use of non- toxic Barium titanate in place of toxic lead zirconate titanate (PZT). In order to improve the performances of the energy harvester, the geometry of the model has to be properly designed. Different geometries were investigated using simulation. The results of simulations are used to find optimum geometry and size of Barium titanate used to develop the main unit of energy harvester. The rail wheel interaction results rolling noise in the railway track. This rolling noise is dynamic in nature. These sound waves can move in the railway track with high speed. The piezoelectric transducers receive the wave and induce electric current. This induced electrical energy can be stored for future use with the help of batteries. These induced electrical energy as well as stored electrical energy may be used to operate various electrical and electronics equipment in the absence of conventional electrical energy.
