Generating Hydroelectricity using Recycled Water

Abstract

Renewable energy, such as solar, is one of the main reasons for changing the scope of the electricity sector. However, their availability depends on the climate so they cannot be a constant source of producing electricity. Considering all these aspects, water is considered a steady source for generating power. The main motive of the system, proposed in this paper, is to generate hydroelectricity by utilizing wastewater through the recycling process. Different chambers are provided with exclusive features to make the recycling process for getting reliable and sustainable energy. One motorized pump has been incorporated to maintain the constant water flow during the recycling process and this DC motor has been powered by the solar panel accordingly giving energy based on the utilization of sunlight. By utilizing this prototype device, a succeeding amount of electricity can be generated as an output with continuous recycling of water. Approximately, 119.3 mA of electricity and 12.69 volts DC controlled output can be measured after the proper implementation of the project. Therefore, 1.51 watts of power is possible to generate by utilizing this prototype device. Furthermore, one of the main utilizations of this project is to install it in the mosques where ablution water will be used as a flow of source as this water is not too much contaminated. Thus it can be a possible source for generating hydroelectricity.
