CHAPTER 1: THE NATURE OF THE PROBLEM AND ITS
BACKGROUND
This chapter expounds the information regarding the researchers’ topic “Merging
of Electric Generators: Solar Panel, Wind, and Water Turbine with Water Purifier and its
Effectivity as a source of Electricity and Potable Water”. These include the rationale of
the problem, setting of the problem, literature foundation, and seriousness of the problem,
general objective, and general purpose. Importantly are the statement of the problem,
scope and delimitations, significance of the study, and notes of the researchers.
Introduction
Attested by U.S. Energy Information Administration (2016), electricity is the flow
of electrical power or charge. Electricity is both a basic part of nature and one of the most
widely used forms of energy. Every individual consumes electricity for communication,
education, entertainment, medication, and transportation that’s why it is very useful to
our daily living. But in the present time, electricity became scarce in the Philippines
through its increasing population and the water became contaminated and polluted. The
researchers came up in creating a device composed of two functional objects; alternative
generator and water purifier. First, they create an alternative generator that uses
renewable energy as source of electricity. The alternative generator is made up of scrap
metals, solar panel, wind turbine, water turbine and direct current motor (DC motor) in
order to generate electricity. Then the alternative water purifier that turn rain into well-
purified and potable water. It will help people in remote areas in particular in Barangay
Caysio, Sta. Maria, Bulacan with their electrical and water consumption.
As cited in Science Daily.com (2017), renewable energy sources (RES) capture
their energy from existing flows of energy, from on-going natural processes, such as
sunlight, wind, flowing water, biological processes, and geothermal heat flows.
Renewable energy is clean source of electricity which has a good impact to the
environment and it can sustain an endless supply of electricity.
Today, our world is facing major environmental problems. Climate change is the
most urgent environmental threat facing people and the planet. The greenhouse gases
responsible for it come from human activity. The most important of these gases is carbon
dioxide (CO2) which is pushing up average temperatures at the Earth’s surface, leading
to more severe weather events – floods, droughts and storms, as well as rising sea levels
and disruption to entire eco-systems. The impact on people across the world could be
catastrophic if we don’t act soon.
To avoid dangerous changes to our climate we must curb rising global emissions
of CO2 within the next decade. As well as doing everything we can to save energy and
use it more efficiently, we need to switch to forms of energy that do not produce CO2 and
there are plenty of them. Renewable energy come from sources that don’t run out like the
sun, wind, tides, waves or plants. These natural sources can be harnessed to create
electricity without adding carbon dioxide to the air
(https://www.foe.co.uk/sites/default/files/downloads/renewable_energy.pdf). The
researchers give emphasis on using solar energy, wind energy, and hydropower as source
of electricity.
Solar energy is the cleanest and most abundant renewable energy source
available, and the U.S. has some of the richest solar resources in the world. Modern
technology can harness this energy for a variety of uses, including generating electricity,
providing light or a comfortable interior environment, and heating water for domestic,
commercial, or industrial use.
Wind energy is now the second fastest-growing source of electricity in the world,
with a global installed capacity of 432,883 megawatts (MW) at the end of 2015. Wind
power utilizes energy in wind and turns it to electricity with the help of wind turbine.
Hydropower is one of the lowest cost forms of energy as it requires no fuel; this
means no mining, no processing, and no transportation cost. Hydroelectricity is produced
by processing and controlling the flow of water through a dam. This is one of the most
encouraging forms of renewable energy. Globally, it generates some 3,500 terawatts of
power and has increased year on year since 2003.
According to Republic Act No. 9513 otherwise known as Renewable Energy Act
of 2008, the exploration, development, utilization and commercialization of renewable
energy resources such as biomass, solar, wind, hydropower, geothermal and ocean energy
sources, including application of hybrid systems and other emerging renewable energy
technologies in the Philippines for the generation, transmission, distribution, and use of
electricity, and fuel generated from renewable energy resources.
Nowadays, the thinning of electrical supply in the Philippines becomes
unpreventable. One of the reasons of this shortage is too much population and limited
supply of energy from power plant such as Calaca 1, Malaya 1, QPPL, GN Power 2,
Malaya 2, GN Power 1, Calaca 2, and Sta. Rita Module 10.

As stated by Morkel (2016), a DC motor is any class of electrical machines that
converts direct current electrical power into mechanical power. The most common types
rely on the forces produced by magnetic fields. Nearly all types of DC motors have some
internal mechanism, either electromechanical or electronics, to periodically change the
direction of current flow in the parts of the motor. Most types produce rotary motion, a
linear motor that directly produces force and motion in a straight line. The DC motor will
serve as an alternative source of electricity because it will help the device to generate
electricity. With the use of renewable energy the DC motor will convert electrical energy
to mechanical energy.
This device has another feature that will help people or family in water
conservation and purification in remote areas in particular Barangay Caysio, Sta. Maria,
Bulacan. According to Shraddha (2018), water purification or filtration removes
undesirable chemicals, physical contaminants, and suspended solids from the raw water
to make water safe for drinking. In short, water purification ensures that the water you
drink is free of contaminants and fit for consumption. The water supplied to our homes
come from various sources and is not fit for consumption. Without proper purification,
you may be susceptible to harmful waterborne diseases. Purification processes such as
filtration, sedimentation and distillation help in purifying raw water to make it fit for
consumption.
The researchers selected Barangay Caysio, Sta. Maria, Bulacan as the location of
the research being undertaken because Barangay Caysio is housings and Bulacan is the
most populous municipality in Central Luzon and the 5 th most populous in the
Philippines. According to the 2015 census, it has a population of 256,454 people

(https://www.revolvy.com/topic/Santa%20Maria,%20Bulacan&item_type=topic).
Because of its large number of population, they need more supply of electricity for their
daily living.
As stated by Gonzales (2017), the Luzon power grid was placed under “red alert”
status on April 10, 2017 in the afternoon due to insufficient operating power and high
system demand. In an advisory, the National Grid Corporation of the Philippines (NGCP)
said available capacity was set at 9,300 megawatts compared to the peak demand of
9,370 MW. Red alert translates to high power deficiency, which means that electricity
reserves were below the minimum level. NGCP, the agency in charge of the country’s
transmission superhighway, declared the red alert from 1 p.m. to 3 p.m. It was an upgrade
from the “yellow alert” it declared on Monday morning from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. The NGCP
also assured the public that their power transmission services remained “stable” despite
the 5.4 magnitude earthquake that hit northern Samar on Monday morning. “Power
transmission services of NGCP remain normal despite the 5.4 magnitude earthquake
which occurred 89km Northeast of Mapanas, Northern Samar at 8:43am today, 10 April.
The grid remains intact as there had been no reported cases of power interruptions and
damaged transmission facilities in Northern Samar,” it added. This literature intends to
inform that the reserve supply of electricity is insufficient because of an immediate
shutdown of the power plant and natural calamities.
Previous news shows that there is a possibility of sudden shutdown of power plant
due to maintenance and natural calamities. In addition, there is an insufficient supply of
electricity that leads to shutdowns. The issue of having an immediate shutdown of
electricity become more often and it is really a problem not only to the consumer but also
to the suppliers. Knowing that the widest used sources today is non-renewable energy
which has a definite end; it could be a big problem to supply electricity all over the
country in the near future. Since the non-renewable energy is limited, the only thing that
could be possibly resolved and lessen the problem is to embrace the renewable energy
because these kinds of energy are sustainable, can generate endless electricity, and no
harmful effects to the environment. That’s why the researchers conducted a research and
came up with a device that will serve as a prototype that proves the effectiveness of using
renewable energy.
The researchers want to know how this device can resolve electrical problems and
shortage and produce well-purified and potable water in remote areas in particular
Barangay Caysio, Sta. Maria, Bulacan. Moreover, researchers want to know the
efficiency level of this device and recognize the benefits of it. Lastly, researchers want to
prove to everyone that it is a better source of electricity and potable water.
At this avenue, the purpose of this study is to give the people an idea on how the
alternative generator and water purifier would help them to save money, to improve
living standards, conserve water and electricity without harming the environment. This is
also for the purpose of producing well-purified and potable water and generating
electricity for areas if ever electricity shutdown happens.
Statement of the problem
The objectives of this experimental study is to analyze how this device can help
the people in remote areas in particular Barangay Caysio, Sta. Maria, Bulacan and to
determine the efficiency level of the device when it is in use.

Specifically, the researchers want to answer the following sub-problems:
1. What are other alternative sources of electricity available in your locality?
2. What are the impacts of using renewable energy as source of electricity?
3. In what way does this device will become valuable for people in remote
areas?
4. What are the characteristics of the alternative generator?
5. What is the electricity generation capacity of the alternative generator?
6. What are the characteristics of alternative water purifier?
7. What are the benefits of using the alternative water purifier?
Scope and delimitation
This study was focused on creating a device that can help people in remote areas
in particular Barangay Caysio, Sta. Maria, Bulacan during electricity shortage, electrical
problems and its effectivity as an alternative source of electricity and potable water.
Specifically, the study will be focusing on producing well-purified and potable water
through the alternative water purifier and merging three alternative electricity sources
which are solar panel, wind turbine, and water turbine. It also studies the electricity
generation capacity of the device.
In this study, the necessary information should be collected by means of research-
made questionnaires and observation checklist regarding the efficiency of this device.
The study considered remotes areas in particular Barangay Caysio, Sta. Maria,
Bulacan as the research locale of the experimentation because it has massive population
that needs supply of electricity when there is electrical problems and shortage and wants
free but well-purified and potable water to save money.
The limitation of this study is; it will be focusing only in merging the three
alternative electricity sources which excludes the other sources.
Significance of the study
The analysis and findings of the study may provide more valuable understandings
on how we can generate endless supply of electricity out of renewable resources and
producing well-purified and potable water through the alternative water purifier. The
results of this study have extravagant benefits to the following:
Environment, this device can help lessen the harmful effects of using electricity
and it may decrease pollutions because of its renewable sources. In addition, it will help
in the conservation water.
Community, this can boost public health of the community. It will also help to
save money because there will be no payment needed. If this device would be patronize
by the community it may lead to job creation. Moreover, it will result of having clean and
free purified water came from the alternative water purifier.
Squatters, this device will help them to have supply of electricity without paying
any amount and be an alternative source of electricity when there are electricity problems
and shortage. Also, having clean and free purified water came from the alternative water
purifier.
School, this device will be motivate the institution to influence its students to give
their interest and support in embracing the renewable energy and conserving water.
Students, this may help them to recognize the benefits of supporting and using
renewable energy and conserving water.

CHAPTER 2: REVIEW OF RELATED LITERATURE AND RELATED
STUDIES
This chapter includes the review of theoretical framework, relevant literatures,
studies and conceptual framework in which the researchers have emphasize on the topic
undertaken.
Theoretical Framework
Pareto Efficiency Theory
Pareto efficiency, also known as "Pareto optimality," is an economic state where
resources are allocated in the most efficient manner, and it is obtained when a distribution
strategy exists where one party's situation cannot be improved without making another
party's situation worse. Pareto efficiency does not imply equality or fairness.
Water is very important to our daily lives and our body really needs it. Electricity
is the cornerstone of modern life. One of the purposes of our alternative water purifier is
to produce clean and free purified water and the alternative generator is designed to
generate electricity through renewable energy. Both of them are not wasting any
resources which implies the Pareto theory; showing that every water and electricity that is
given off, there is no waste of it.
Real Options Theory
According to Trigeorgis and Reuer (2016), we begin by defining real options,
which amounts to describing what makes them “options,” and then what makes them
“real”. The term option-as opposed to alternative or possibility-is of importance in
understanding the theory’s origins and boundaries and in developing and testing relevant
hypothesis. An option is a right, but not an obligation, to take some future specified
action at a specified cost. At its core is a fundamental decision asymmetry to take a future
decision (e.g., invest) only if it’s beneficial to the decision maker, but not otherwise. In
some organizational contexts, certain rights might be established through contracts (e.g.,
patents, JVs) or preferential access to investment opportunities (e.g., in an equity
investment); alternatively, they might be established through idiosyncratic knowledge
that a firm possesses (e.g., through learning by doing or research and development
(R&D).
Myers (1977) coined the term real options and envisioned bringing the theory of
financial options to the realm of strategic decision making. Real options were seen as
“opportunities to purchase real assets on possibly favorable terms”. These favorable
terms hinge on adjustment costs, market power, or other imperfections in product or
factor markets. Connections to strategic management’s focus on firm heterogeneity and
competitive advantage are readily appreciated. In the case of financial options, an
investor has the right to act to acquire a financial security (e.g., shares of stock) as the
underlying asset, yet in real options, the underlying is a “real” asset. Incremental cash
flows are tied to the construction or scale up of a plant, the development of a product in
an R&D program or the exploitation of a patent, and so forth.
The real options theory is suited to the study being undertaken because our study
is the best option or choice for investment. The more we invest in conserving water and
renewable energy, the more water we can use through the next generations and more
renewable energy projects we can be able to do. Hence, we can conserve more water in a
better way and produce electricity with less generation charges. In addition, this theory
will help the researchers to patent their prototype and bring out it in the market in the
near future.
Sustainable Development Theory
According to Harris (2000), sustainable development is development which meets
the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet
their own needs. The sustainable development has three aspects: economic,
environmental, and social.
First, an economically sustainable system must be able to produce goods and
services on a continuing basis, to maintain manageable levels of government and external
debt, and to avoid extreme sectoral imbalances which damage agricultural or industrial
production. Then, an environmentally sustainable system must maintain a stable resource
base, avoiding over-exploitation of renewable resource systems or environmental sink
functions, and depleting non-renewable resources only to the extent that investment is
made in adequate substitutes. This includes maintenance of biodiversity, atmospheric
stability, and other ecosystem functions not ordinarily classed as economic resources.
Lastly, a socially sustainable system must achieve distributional equity, adequate
provision of social services including health and education, gender equity, and political
accountability and participation.
The sustainable development theory is fitted to our study because one of the
objectives of our study is to develop an alternative water purifier that helps in conserving
water and alternative generator which use renewable energies as source of electricity. The
researchers hope that this will be the eye opener from the government or even people in
their locality to help in conservation of water, embracing renewable energy and to
develop more projects regarding on it.
Organizational Theory
According to Boundless.com (2017), organizational theory studies organizations
to identify the patterns and structures they use to solve problems, maximize efficiency
and productivity, and meet the expectations of stakeholders. Organizational theory then
uses these patterns to formulate normative theories of how organizations function best.
Therefore, organizational theory can be used in order to learn the best ways to run an
organization or identify organizations that are managed in such a way that they are likely
to be successful.
In order to help in conserving water and to develop more renewable energy
projects, we must consider the organizational theory. In the Philippines, there are lot of
renewable energy companies: Energy Development Corporation, Northwind Power
Development Corporation, Smith Bell Mini-Hydro Corporation, Pangea Green Energy
Philippines Incorporated, Green Innovations for Tomorrow Corporation and so many.
The organizational theory will help different renewable energy companies or
organizations to make clear plans on how their companies or organizations will be the
best and efficient among others.

The Philippine’s electrical problems and its solution
As cited in Infogram.com (2018), there are lot of problem facing in the
Philippine’s electricity like the high electrical bills, sudden electrical blackouts and
outages. People living here and even the foreign who visit Philippine deal with these
kinds of problem. In addition, the government also handle problem about electricity in
which they spend money for foreign trade in fixing such problems.
For the Philippine government and United Nations, installation of solar panel to
the country is good solution to the problem. This solution would help to decrease the high
electrical bills and lessen the sudden blackout and outages. It will also help to lessen the
money spent in paying electricity. It is really good solution because it can sustain enough
power to supply the country and if in the longer time, Philippine will no longer need to
pay electricity and also we don’t have to depend to the other countries. This solution
might not be good to other countries but it would be better to the Philippines.
Electricity and water interruptions
According to Simeon and Rivera (2017), the East Zone Water Concessionaire
Manila Water Co. Inc. and the Department of Energy (DOE) assured Metro Manilans for
enjoying the summer without worrying about supply shortage and power interruptions.
Angat Dam, which supplies 95 percent of water in Metro Manila, remains at a
comfortable level and will not trigger any water shortage in the next few months. The
level of Angat Dam is six meter higher than the same period last year. This result is an
indication for no tightness or shortage of supply. Last summer, the country suffered from
the effect of El Nino phenomenon which affects the water supply throughout Metro
Manila and nearby areas. Sevilla, Manila Water spokesperson said that water supply was
affected throughout Metro Manila and nearby areas. He clarified that the outlook might
change depending on the changes of summer season and rainy season. On the other hand,
the DOE is banking on demand-side management to get by summer without any power
interruptions. The goal is to ensure implementation of an affective demand side
management program for energy supply.
The literature states that there will be no any power shortage in the summer
seasons, but this kind of good news doesn’t last for a long time. There will be always
possibilities of having shutdown. The Angat Dam is in a good state but like in the last
summer, many people suffered from water interruption. One of the reasons is because of
the effects of El Nino. This phenomenon can be lessening by using renewable energies
which has good impact to our environment. In our research, we are focusing on relying to
energy source like renewable energy. If there will a continuous use of fossil fuel, we
might suffer from power interruption in longest time. Furthermore, in this case of water
interruption, our device will takes place in supplying either ordinary water or potable
water.
An article reported by Torres-Tupas (2017), the parts of 4 cities in Metro Manila
will be affected due to maintenance of Meralco from Saturday to Sunday. On June 24, lot
of buildings will experience power outage due to line rehabilitating work. On June 25, the
following areas will be affected by the preventive maintenance and testing work.
As this literature stated, there will be a coming shutdowns in parts of four cities in
Metro Manila. This shows that outages are not unusual especially to those who use
electricity from fossil fuel. Outages are not avoidable since the non-renewable energy
have a limited source only and experience maintenance shutdown often. But when we use
renewable energy, shutdown can be lessening because it is in every household who will
manage their usage of electricity.
According to Bongcac and et al. (2017), eight provinces of Visayas has been
trigger due to 6.5 magnitude earthquake in Leyte. The affected areas are Cebu, Bohol and
other provinces in Visayas -Leyte, Southern Leyte, Samar, Northern Samar and Biliran.
The system automatically shut down if something abnormal is detected results to the
shutdown to occur at 4:03 p.m. but at 5:01 p.m. the power was fully restored.
This literature shows that the different calamities such as earthquakes, floods,
landslide and typhoons may affect the supply of electricity. In this article, earthquake that
hit Leyte causes eight provinces to suffer from brownout. It also shows that we cannot
avoid this immediate brownout because these provinces only get their supply of
electricity in one source of distributors. But when they have their own source, it would be
a big possibility to avoid massive shutdown.
Booming of renewable energy
According to Tan Hui Ann (2016), transforming the Philippines into a
powerhouse of renewable energy wouldn’t be easy. Since the Renewable Act of 2008
passed the law, there are now 406 from 22 projects of renewable energy said by Juan
Miguel Zubiri. It was also said there that because of renewable energy, there’s about 3
million jobs for engineers and construction workers which is a sign of a booming industry
in the Philippines, but George Chua, president of Federation of Philippine Industries,

oppose the embracing of renewable energy though we could save more money with
renewable energy. Leandro Leviste, founder of Solar Philippines believed that the solar
energy can be affordable source of energy and instead of relying in dirty fossil fuel; we
can have a cleaner alternative energy source.
This literature states that building a new source of electricity in the Philippines
such as renewable energy is not an easy step. But everyone knows that renewable
energies are better than currently using source. The researchers came up in creating an
easy to make device that will somehow show everybody how renewable energy really
become a good source of electricity. Like in our research, we foresee the increase of jobs
for engineers and construction workers. This literature is also the same as our research
when it comes to what is the goal. We believe also in embracing renewable energy can
change more lives as it can help people as well as our environment.
As cited in Rappler.com (2017), the AC Energy was looking for acquisitions in
the Philippines. They are expected to seal another investment deal involving renewable
energy. It’s not hydro, but still they are looking for other potentials. AC Energy had an
agreement in Indonesia regarding on the development, construction and operation of a
wind farm there. It is the first green offshore investments of AC with the other country.
As the researchers begin the research, like in AC Energy we are not stopping, we
continue to seek for more, that’s why we ended up combining three different renewable
energy sources because we know Philippines has a big potential in having an installations
of renewable projects. But in this literature, they focus in investing to other country
instead of investing to our own and produce more projects here in the Philippines.
As cited again in Rappler.com (2014), the World Wide Fund for Nature stated
that renewable energy is the best long term solution to power crisis. Being the second
largest archipelago, Philippines would have difficult time in connecting all islands in grid
power supply and installing solar panels would make these islands self-sufficient.
Renewable energy must be the primary solution to power development and the
Philippines can learn from its own experience in renewable energy to prove that it is the
best. Much renewable energy is easy to be installed and produce a stable rate, not likely
to fossil fuel which may increase in cost in the next years. Department of Energy (DOE)
expected a shortfall in power supply which may affect the peak load. Other indigenous
renewable energies like hydro and biomass can be used to complement the existing
based-load.
This literature believes in renewable energy as best long term solution for power
crisis. It also said that because of archipelagic country which the second largest in the
world, it is difficult to connect every island. Because of this, our device is suitable to
every Filipinos since it is very affordable and reliable. The literature only focuses to solar
panel installations, but with the merging of three renewable energy sources, it might help
a lot and can generate more electricity. Using this evidence can help every Filipinos and
have a good effect to the environment. The researchers believed that renewable energy is
much better than non-renewable energy.
The Philippines is planning to expand renewable energy. The construction of the
Philippines’ largest solar power project has begun. The project is one of the Southeast -
Asian’s largest solar farms where in 450,000 Solar panels will be installed across 150
hectares and it will be manufactured locally. The project costs an estimated 195m and
produce enough power to supply the entire province’s need. This project shows that
building renewable energy sources costs lower than a coal based power plant, this will
help to achieve a greater energy security since the country is just like the other countries
facing increase of population and big demand
(http://www.climateactionprogramme.org/news/the_philippines_pursues_renewable_ener
gy_expansion).
It was said that the Philippines has a plan of expanding renewable energy. There
will be a project of building 450,000 solar panels in 150 hectares. This shows that
building this kind of electric generators will cost lesser amount. As we do in our study,
we included solar energy because we know it is very sustainable source of energy. We
also know that as the time passes by, the demand of electricity is getting higher because
of the increasing population. This renewable energy will secure our electricity supply for
the longest time.
Solar energy
An article written by Rivera (2015), states that experts believed that Philippines is
more than ready to join the world wide revolutionary of solar energy. Since the
Philippines is located at tropical zone, it has a strong potential in harnessing solar energy.
The archipelagic geology of Philippines is a unique challenge in distributing energy but
aside that adapting solar energy system is not that hard. Building solar energy system
should have proper infrastructure, maintenance and connection to make it work. Using
solar can be much greater that fossils fuels, hydro and wind as a source of electricity.
The literature shows that the Philippines is ready to the revolutionary, one reason
why we conducted a research creating a device which use renewable energies like
hydropower, solar and wind energy. Since we are archipelagic country, this device is very
suitable to everyone. Unlike the usual source of electricity, every consumer has one
supplier only, if something happened and that source has been damaged, it may affect all
the consumers. But if every household has their own device, they don’t have to depend
to other source.
As stated by Lozada (2016), after super typhoon Yolanda hit the Philippines; it
left a severe damage to the country. In Iloilo, a 41 year old fisherman told everything him
and his co-workers they have experienced. His house was made of light materials that are
why their supply of electricity was also damaged including the most part of the province.
It would take 3 months before the electricity was restored in their area. The good thing is
the BBMA organization was the beneficiaries of solar panels. Fishermen used to buy
kerosene for electric generators, but because of renewable energy they just have to use
the money to other more important purposes. The solar panels helped them as they
survive from such as tragedy.
This shows that renewable energy is very useful to everyone. Like in our device,
it is also useful for a calamity. We all know that we often experience typhoons and every
typhoon leaves a severe damage to any part of the Philippines. One of the damages is the
electric supply. After a powerful typhoon hit, it may leave some electrical post broken
down in the street resulting to an outage. Clearly this device can help become a solution
to that problem`.
Hydropower
An article written by Magno (2017), said that renewable energy shared at least
26.44 of the country’s total power production from different renewable energy sources.
The plan of National Renewable Plan (NREP) is to triple our renewable energy
production sources we could make it even earlier. There are several factors that can help
us grow like we’ve been the world’s second largest producers of geothermal. The good
news is the technology producing energy from renewable energies progressed for the past
few years. Since we are archipelagic country, we opt to create mini hydro powers plants
unlike China which has three George Dam built. Instead building large capacity
hydropower plant, we could build many mini hydro power plants will be more
competitive than water and wind.
The techniques stated in the literature is the same as our device used. Because the
archipelagic location of the Philippines and there are thousands of island which are
surrounded by different bodies of water, creating mini hydro power is a better choice.
That’s why we included hydro power to our prototype because we know what kind of
country is the Philippines.
According to Adriano (2017), there will be two more hydropower plants planning
to build in towns of Solsona and Nueva Era. Engr. Neil Guillen and Mirable May Perez,
Filinvest Development Corporation (FDC) representatives, paid for a courtesy call to
Sanguiang Panlalawigan members to seek their support for this project. The said places
have potential sites for run-of- river type hydroelectric power development project. This
kind of power plants is cheap and clean unlike the wind power farms which need a black
start power from the National Grid Corporation of the Philippines (NGCP). Hydropower
plants generate power depending on the volume of rain fall that flows down the river.
Knowing that the Philippines has a potential for hydro powers because of having
thousands of islands, as a researchers it is a good reason to include hydro power to our
prototype. Like in our device, our hydro power also depends to the flow on rainfall, if the
flow of water is fast; the rotation of wind turbine gets faster.
Wind energy
According to Bautista and et.al (2017), Wind turbines are helping the Philippines
diversify its energy sources beyond fossil fuel and generating not only power, but jobs,
revenue and interest among thousands of union tourists. Wind power is slowly taking off
in the Philippines, which faces a huge challenge to find cheaper, cleaner and more
efficient ways to power what are one of the world’s fastest growing economies and
swelling population of over 100 million people. Creating wind turbines also supports
livelihoods like making wooden souvenirs of mini turbines. Wind energy is a work in
progress and farms like this produce only a fraction of the countries installed capacity.
As we conducted the research, we foresee the possible help we could get from
renewable energy. Aside from energy resources, we could create more jobs and
investments. The researchers included water turbine in creating this device because it is
clean, efficient and cheaper.

Benefits of renewable energy
Union of Concerned Scientists (2017), renewable energies; wind, solar,
geothermal, hydroelectric, and biomass provide substantial benefits for our climate, our
health, and our economy. Renewable energy prevent climate change. Human activity
contributes harmful effects especially to our atmosphere. Emission of carbon dioxide can
damage our environment. But with the use of renewable energy, that comes from
different energy from our nature does not make nor create any kind of pollution to our
Mother Earth. Renewable energy improved public health and environmental quality. The
air and water pollution emitted by coal and natural gas plants causes some of the different
diseases while wind, solar, and hydroelectric systems generate electricity with no
associated air pollution emissions. In addition, wind and solar energy require essentially
no water to operate and thus do not pollute water resources or strain supply by competing
with agriculture, drinking water systems, or other important water needs. It is very
helpful to everyone to rely on renewable energy. Renewable energy is vast and
inexhaustible energy supply. Renewable energy sources are limitless and sustainable
unlike non-renewable energy; it only has a limit source of energy. Renewable energy is
kind of energy that we can rely on, because it is abundant and eco-friendly. Renewable
energy produces jobs and other economic benefits. Renewable energies source like water
turbine, wind turbine, and solar panel may help our community in terms of giving people
different jobs like installing such renewable energy sources in different types of buildings
and establishments in their community. Renewable energy has stable energy prices-since
the renewable energy is reliable and sustainable, energy prices are stable. Unlike fossil
fuels which are limited that results in changing energy prices anytime.
All of the related literature has similar aims in embracing the renewable energy.
They all make plans, acquisitions and partnership for installing the renewable energy
systems. They are all stating the potential that the Philippines has and also the advantages
of using this energy like the possibilities to attract more tourist, create more jobs, large
investments, cheaper electric bill payments and the recommendation to stop using non-
renewable energy. On the contrary, most of these literatures differ in their source of
renewable energy. Some of them focus in solar energy that pertains to the high
temperature we are getting from the sun. Some focus in creating hydro power plants
because the water doesn’t have an end like the flow of the river. Lastly, some of them
opted to create wind turbine because there are places in the Philippines where land is
higher elevated which means high speed of wind they can get.
Bio-sand filter
According to Vigneswaran and Sundaravadivel (2013), water is very important as
it is of paramount importance to our health. When water has some impurities, it has to be
purified. We now have numerous technologies used in purifying it but in the developing
countries, they find it difficult to use. There are other techniques in purifying water
includes winnowing, through cloth, clay vessels, clarification and filtration through plant
material, jumping stone filter method, horizontal flow coarse media filter and up flow
gravel filter.
In conformity of Stauber and et al. (2006), many people in developing countries
don’t have an access to clean drinking water. Point of use (POU) household water
treatment technology lets people to treat their drinking water even at home. One of these
is the slow sand filter or bio-sand filter. Some experimentations, confirmed the 94% was
the reduction of E. coli. But there are still need further study to determine the factors
contributing to microbial reductions.
These literatures simply relate the needs of the researchers to happen for those
who don’t have access to clean drinking water. The results of the conducted test will
support the proposed objective which is to let people have their own alternative water
purifier at home. Furthermore, it gives foundation or basis that bio-sand filter is a good
alternative water purifier.
Review of Related Studies
De Sá Paiva (2012) conducted a study entitled Integration of Renewable
Sources into Hybrid Renewable Energy Systems. The results showed that the
integration of different renewable energy sources into a unique electric energy generation
system improves generated energy quality as well as it increases the generation system
economic value, as it allows to provide power and energy according to well defined rule.
The study also showed that reinforcement of the economic value for hybrid generation
units based on renewable sources is obtained through the attribution of control services to
grid operators. Similarly, Eziyi (2013) also conducted a study entitled Distributed
Renewable Energy System for Sustainable Rural Development. The results showed
that the combined Photovoltaic (PV)/Battery/Biomass/Air Gap Membrane Distillation
(AGMD) is a simultaneous production of uninterrupted electricity and pure water, which
meets the energy and clean drinking water need of the rural population. Therefore, this
system should be adopted for rapid implementation in the rural districts to ascertain its
effectiveness in sustainable development of the community. Another research conducted
by Kofi-Opata (2013) entitled Alternative Energy and the Developmental State in
Ghana showed results that the reorientation of the state as a developmental one
particularly for developing countries provides an effective avenue for the successful
development of renewable energy. In addition, a research undertaken by Cordero (2015)
entitled Optimization of Hybrid Renewable Energy Systems showed results that it
develops a methodology for optimal design of stand-alone HRES and micro grids for
remote communities. It was shown that under certain conditions a combination of
standalone HRES and micro grids is the most cost-effective solution. Consequently, one
of the more significant findings to emerge from this study is that the best alternative to
find the optimal design for the power generation infrastructure in group remote
communities is to consider the use of micro grids. It was also shown that valuable insight
is obtained when analyzing several communities with a single methodology. For instance,
we were able to determine the characteristics (i.e., climate conditions; and energy
consumption) of the remote communities where the implementation of HRES would have
the best performance. Therefore, this methodology is a valuable tool to inform policy
makers. A research conducted by Srivastava and Giri (2016) entitled Optimization of
Hybrid Renewable Resources using HOMER exhibited results that PV, Diesel
Generator with battery and inverter is most economical solution for all three cases for the
load of laboratory of MMMUT. PV, Wind Turbine, Diesel Generator with battery and
inverter system is also a very good alternative solution having little higher cost of
electricity and net present cost. Although the cost of electricity from the proposed system
is higher than the cost grid electricity but due the necessity of environmental protection
and farseeing the current living standard of rural communities such hybrid system will
play a very good role for the country like India having deficit electricity. Moreover,
Berglund and Engstrom (2014) conducted a research entitled Power to the Philippines -
A life cycle assessment study comparing renewable and non-renewable off-grid
energy supply systems exhibited results that the hybrid system is the best alternative for
the humanitarian aid village, as it can provide cheap energy with high energy security at a
relatively low environmental impact. Therefore, the “Power to the Philippines” project
can be deemed to be of interest to the humanitarian aid villages, as long as the energy
load of the humanitarian aid village is not solely provided by Power towers. A
hybridization of Power towers with the existing diesel generators can help lower the
environmental impact of the existing energy system, while simultaneously lowering the
cost of electricity.
These studies are similar to the study being undertaken because they both
embraced the use of renewable energy as an alternative source of electricity. The stated
studies above are the same with our study because they both focused in optimization and
integration of hybrid renewable energy systems (HRES). Optimization or integration of
hybrid system is a process to select the best combination of component and there cost that
are able to provide cheap, reliable and effective alternative energy resource. Similar to
the present study, they want to have best quality design for HRES. These HRES take part
in producing clean and endless electricity without harming our environment.
Tiwari (2016) conducted a research entitled Feasibility of Renewable Energy in
Remote Destinations in Nepal displayed results that rural electrification along with grid
extension and locally installed capacity of solar power, bio-gas as well as micro-hydro
are the best solution to overcome total energy shortage in rural communities. In addition,
Badgley (2009) conducted a research entitled Community Development through Wind
Energy: Lessons from Wind Developments in Remote and Small Island Nations
revealed several key lessons that can enhance the penetration of wind energy in
developing contexts. Truly sustainable and beneficial applications of wind energy require
more than just funding or technical precision. The findings suggest that not only can
small island nations overcome the technical barriers to implementing wind energy
projects, but that certain models of wind development can indeed enhance development.
This study is parallel to the study being undertaken because they both give
emphasized in using renewable energy as an alternative source of electricity and proving
that renewable energy is the best solution in electricity shortage especially in remote
areas in particular Barangay Caysio, Sta. Maria, Bulacan . In addition, renewable energy
will take part in prevention of climate change because it doesn’t emit carbon dioxide and
other greenhouse gases.
Lipana (2008) conducted a research entitled When Incentives Are Not Enough:
A Study on How the Philippine Government Can Attract Foreign Investments in
Renewable Power showed results that renewable powers may not only lower the rates of
electricity in the Philippines. It can also achieve the government’s goal to be less
dependent on imported fuels and be more self-sufficient in energy supply. Moreover,
renewable powers are the answer to the pressing concern about climate change. Having
said these, attracting renewable power investments to the country is a vital concern of the
government. This is because of the country’s lack of financial resources as well
advancement in RE technology; hence, the need to turn overseas for these much-needed
investments. Another research conducted by Thomas (2016) entitled Benefits, Barriers,
and Opportunities for Renewable Energy Outreach in Extension: A Mixed-Methods
Needs Assessment revealed a need and demand for increased renewable energy
programming in extension. This need became further evident after a nationwide inventory
discovered that only twenty-two of fifty states have distinct renewable energy
departments, programs, or discipline areas.
These studies are related to the research being undertaken because they both
focused on introducing, developing, and using renewable energy as alternative source of
electricity. They want to introduce, develop, and use renewable energy because one of the
advantages of renewable energy, aside from its being environment-friendly, are that it has
minimal operational cost - because of its very cheap or practically free raw materials:
wind, water, solar energy, etc. - compared to fossil fuels which are limited in supply and
subject to high volatile prices.
A research conducted by Spowart (2012) Educational Concerns of
Implementing Bio-sand Filters in Rural Uganda 1, showed results that for almost 200
years, the traditional slow sand filter has improved and modernized version which is bio-
sand filter. The bio-sand filter is small, about 3 ft. tall and 2 ft. wide. It is composed of
layers of selected sand and gravel. The sand removes the pathogens and suspended solids
contaminated drinking water. Dr. David Manz developed the household bio-sand filter in
the 1990’s. He also helps in influencing many organizations in using bio-sand filter. In
rural Uganda, many families only have access to low quality of drinking water. Same in
the developing country, if this continue to happen it may lead to some diseases.
Slow sand filter or bio-sand filter is one of the household filters used in many
houses and it is very attractive because the materials used are available in the locality. It
is layered with different sands and gravel and at the end; there is a faucet for the purified
water flow. If the time spent in filtration becomes longer, the sand and gravel must be
changed.
This study stated how the bio-sand filter was made and its features that could
purify tap water and rain water into potable water.

Definition of Terms
U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA) - collects, analyzes, and disseminates
independent and impartial energy information to promote sound policymaking, efficient
markets, and public understanding of energy and its interaction with the economy and the
environment.
National Grid Corporation of the Philippines (NGCP) - is a power system operator
and transmission service provider. The company operates, maintains, and develops state-
owned power grid, an interconnected system that transmits gigawatts of power at
thousands of volts. Its functions include operations and maintenance, system operations,
and planning and engineering. The company was incorporated in 2008 and is based in
Quezon City, the Philippines.
Megawatt (MW) - a unit of power equal to one million watts.
Winnowing - used when the water source is polluted by wind-borne impurities such as
dry leaves, stalks, and coarse particles. The raw water is passed through a winnowing
sieve, and the impurities are filtered. This type of filter is widely used in villages of the
Bamaka area, Mali.This method cannot be used when the raw water is highly turbid or
muddy, since the sieve cannot filter fine suspended particles in raw water.
Filtration through cloth - thin white cotton cloth or a discarded garment is used as the
filter medium. This filter can filter raw water containing such impurities as plant debris,
insects, dust particles or coarse mud particles. Filtration of suspended particles present in
water can be achieved only to a very small extent. Therefore, this type of filtration is not
suitable for highly turbid water. It is most suitable for filtration of well water. This
practice of cloth filtration is quite common in villages in India, Mali, the southern part of
Niger and probably in many other parts of the developing world. In some of the Indian
villages, if the raw water is muddy and highly odorous, then wood ash of Sal tree (Shora
robuta) is mixed with water and then filtered through cloth.
Filtration through clay vessels - used to filter highly turbid water. Turbid water is
collected in a big clay jar and allowed to settle down. Then the water in the jar will trickle
through the porous clay wall of the jar. This trickled water is collected in a vessel
(usually a clay pot) by placing it at the bottom of the porous clay jar. This method of
water treatment is common in Egypt.
Water Clarification - helps remove suspended solids and particulate matter usually with
the help of flocculants and coagulants, which improve settling.
Filtration through plant material - it automatically filter the water in which they live
by adding oxygen and removing carbon dioxide. Some plants also remove heavy metals
and toxins while stimulating the growth of beneficial bacteria. Water lettuce and water
hyacinth are so effective that they are sometimes incorporated into the first step of
wastewater purification.
Jempeng stone filter method - developed in Saringan batu Jempeng, Bali, Indonesia.
Here, a small artificial pond or a by-pass channel is cut by the side to an irrigation canal,
which carries muddy water.
Horizontal flow coarse media filter - uses coarse gravel or crushed stones as filter
media and is highly suited for turbid waters with turbidities greater than 50 NTU. A
combination of filtration and sedimentation of suspended solids take place during the
horizontal passage of water through the filter bed.

Up flow gravel filter - made by circulating the water from the under gravel filter back
into the aquarium.

CHAPTER 3: RESEARCH METHODOLOGY
This chapter includes the research design, research respondents, instrumentation,
validity and reliability of instrument and statistical treatment we will use in conducting
the research.
Research Design
This study utilizes the quantitative type of study which according to
Fellow and Liu (2008), is a method that is typically adopted because they are scientific
methods and provide immediate results. Other reason for selecting this approach is that is
more efficient, can test hypothesis and always aimed at clarifying features, count them
and build statistical models to explain what is observed during research. This study
utilizes the experimental study method which according to Konrath (2013), involves the
random assignments of participants into different groups (e.g. experimental, control) in
order to determine the causal effect of a certain condition (independent variable) on a
certain outcome (dependent variable). Specifically, the researchers used the repeated
measures which the same participant takes part in each condition of the independent
variable.
The researchers chose this research design because in this study, they need to
gain insights and feedbacks to people or family in remote areas in particular Barangay
Caysio, Sta. Maria, Bulacan. They think that this is the better type of study to gather more
data or information needed in this study. The researchers will give two different types of
condition wherein each family will be ask before and after using the alternative generator
and water purifier. Then, they will analyze whether the two alternatives are efficient or
not.
This design is suited to the present study since the focus is to analyze how this
device can help the people or family in remote areas in particular Barangay Caysio, Sta.
Maria, Bulacan and to determine the efficiency level of the device when it is in use.
Research Respondent
In this study, the researchers selected people or family in remote areas in
particular Barangay Caysio, Sta. Maria, Bulacan as the research respondent because
researchers want to know and analyze their insights and feedbacks regarding the research
being undertaken and its prototype or the alternative generator and water purifier. The
proposed number of respondents is fifty; one in each family.
Eventually, researchers used non-probability sampling in particular accidental
sampling where subjects are selected because of their convenient accessibility and
proximity to the researchers. The subjects are selected just because they are easiest to
select for the study and researchers did not consider selecting subjects that are
representative of the entire population. Moreover, researchers prefer this sampling
technique because it is fast, inexpensive, easy and the subjects are readily available to
response in the survey questionnaires. Researchers use convenience sampling not just
because it is easy to use, but because it also has other research advantages. In pilot
studies, convenience sample is usually used because it allows the researchers to obtain
basic data and trends regarding their study without the complications of using a
randomized sample. The researchers chose this sampling technique because the research
being undertaken have a purpose of giving people an idea on how the alternative
generator and water purifier would help them to save money, using electricity without
harming the environment and conserving water. This is also for the purpose of generating
electricity for areas if ever electricity shutdown and electrical problems occur and
producing well-purified water that will helps in conserving water.
Data Collection Method and Instrument
In this research, the researchers used questionnaires as the method while they
structured and unstructured questionnaires as the instruments. The data will be gather in
people or family in remote areas in particular Barangay Caysio, Sta. Maria, Bulacan and
it should be collected before and after they used the device or the alternative generator
and water purifier. Each participant or family has maximum of 1 hour in using the
alternative generator and water purifier and after that they will give their comments and
feedbacks regarding on the device.
The questionnaires are divided into four sections; demographic profile, other
personal information, other electrical information and degree of judgement. The research
respondents will voluntarily response to the provided questionnaires.
These methods and instruments are suited to the research because it is the easiest
way to gather information to make the research valuable and useful.
Establishing Validity and Reliability
Validity is defined as the extent to which a concept is accurately measured in a
quantitative study. The second measure of quality in a quantitative study is reliability, or
the accuracy of an instrument.

The researchers used questionnaires as the method. This method is valid to the
research being undertaken because the questionnaires include questions that will allow
the researchers to know the background information of each respondent, also their
insights about the alternative generator and water purifier.
Statistical Treatment
The researchers used descriptive statistics and inferential statistics in analyzing
the quantitative data. Descriptive statistics are procedures that researchers use to describe
data and inferential statistics are ways to infer or make judgements about the respondents
through hypothesis testing and through the use of test of significance.
In order to use the descriptive and inferential statistics, the researchers must know
the parameter of the population. According to Kalla (2011), a parameter is any numerical
quantity that characterizes a given population or some aspect of it. This means that the
parameter tells us something about the whole population. The parameter of the
population in this study was fifty people or family members wherein the researchers will
pick out one family member in each selected family.
The statistical test used in this study was non-parametric test since it has small
sample size while the statistical tools used in the research being undertaken was
frequency, weighted mean and Chi-Square Goodness of Fit Test.

CHAPTER 4: PRESENTATION, ANAYSIS AND INTERPRETATION OF DATA
To complete this research properly, it is necessary to analyze the data collected in
order to test the hypotheses and answer the research problems. As already indicated in the
preceding chapter, data is interpreted in a descriptive form.
This chapter comprises the presentation, analysis and interpretation of the findings
resulting from this research. The analysis and interpretation of data is carried out based
on the results of the survey questionnaires, deals with a quantitative analysis of data.
Data gathered through the survey questionnaires was subjected to frequency counts.
In other words, the respondent responses for each individual question were added
together to find the highest frequency of occurrence. These responses to the questions,
which are quantified, are then presented in percentage forms. In addition, the researchers
obtained the weighted mean from the responses in each question. The researchers test the
hypotheses using the Chi-Square Goodness of Fit Test as an inferential tool which
determines the observed and expected frequencies of independent variables. This analysis
is presented in tabular form. The researcher used tables containing variable and in some
cases, combines two or more variables in a single table.
The percentages in the tables below showed that the allocation of survey
questionnaires to various respondents was in no way influenced by bias. It is a true
reflection of the researcher’s impartiality in the distribution of survey questionnaires.
