Bachelor of Science in Electronics and Communication Engineering
CHAPTER I

Problem and Its Background

Introduction

Rapid manufacturing necessitates rapid resource consumption.

Electricity is one such important resource. Electricity is the primary

source of energy. All industrial effort depends on it. Living standards

are improving. Because the advancement of technology has resulted

in the use of appliances in our day to day lives, it is essential. As a

result, there is also a large number of options. In residential areas,

there has been an increase in electricity use. To be able to we are

now largely self-sufficient in terms of power due to rising demand.

Reliant on the extraction of energy non-conventional, green energy

sources.

Renewable energy is becoming the fastest growing energy type

as countries switch from fossils fuels to various renewable sources.

The benefits of obtaining energy from sources such as the sun, wind,

and water are trifold. Renewable energy is helping tackle climate

change, energy security, and energy access. A global transition to

renewable energy not only would combat climate change, but also

has the potential to close the gap between those with and without

electricity.

There is a connection between access to electricity and the ability

for economic and human development to occur. According to

(González-Eguino, 2015). In today's world, over 1.4 billion people face

energy poverty. The challenge of energy poverty is concentrated in

rural areas, where 85% of the population lacks electricity access

(Stram, 2016). Rural renewable electrification programs are an

opportunity to help combat energy poverty. Rapid output necessitates

rapid resource use. The most important of these is electricity. The

lifeblood of any industrial work is electricity. The progress of

technology and the rising standard of living have made using

appliances a necessity in daily life. As a result, residential areas also

experience a significant increase in electricity use. We are now

heavily dependent on the extraction of power from unconventional,

renewable sources of energy in order to meet the rising power

demands.

This study aims to design, develop and implement a system that

manages the process of Dc-Power Motor Rainwater Harvester to

harvest energy utilize the rain to generate power on households. This

work could be considered as a good alternative to charge and power

necessities in raining outdoor environment where areas always

encounter outages.

CHAPTER II

REVIEW OF RELATED LITERATURE

According to Campisano et al. (2017), practice of rainwater harvesting

can be traced back millennia, the degree of its modern implementation varies

greatly across the world, often with systems that do not maximize potential

benefits. With a global focus, the pertinent practical, theoretical and social

aspects of rainwater harvesting are reviewed in order to ascertain the state of

the art. Avenues for future research are also identified. A major finding is that

the degree of rainwater harvesting systems implementation and the

technology selection are strongly influenced by economic constraints and

local regulations. Moreover, despite design protocols having been set up in

many countries, recommendations are still often organized only with the

objective of conserving water without considering other potential benefits

associated with the multiple-purpose nature of rainwater harvesting. It is

suggested that future work on rainwater harvesting addresses three priority

challenges. Firstly, more empirical data on system operation is needed to

allow improved modelling by taking into account multiple objectives of

rainwater harvesting systems. Secondly, maintenance aspects and how they

may impact the quality of collected rainwater should be explored in the future

as a way to increase confidence on rainwater use. Finally, research should be

8|Dc-Power Motor Rainwater Harvester


CVCITC
Cagayan Valley Computer
and Information Technology College

devoted to the understanding of how institutional and socio-political support

can be best targeted to improve system efficacy and community acceptance.

According to Dominguez et al. (2017), Rainwater harvesting and

greywater reuse (GWR) are increasingly being considered at the building-

level to achieve multiple goals. Cost-benefit assessments facilitate decision-

making; however, most are focused on large-scale systems with limited

information available for households from developing countries. To better

understand the prioritization of costs and benefits by potential end-users in

this context, this paper presents an assessment of an RWH/GWR system in

low income, low consumption households in a social housing development in

Colombia. From an initial household consultation, preferences related to the

use of RWH/GWR were identified and three alternatives were proposed and

designed. In a follow-up consultation, potential end-users were engaged with

the cost-benefit of the proposed alternatives. Potential end-users prioritized

the selection of the system with potable water savings of 25%, a payback

period of 30 years, an internal return rate of 4.7%, and a Benefit/Cost ratio of

1.3. Of the three alternatives, this system had the median payback period,

highest investment, and highest maintenance cost, but also the highest

volumetric water saving and highest water and sewerage bill savings. In

contrast to findings from developed countries, this indicates that minimising

the cost may not be the primary decision making criteria in some developing

country contexts, where perhaps a greater value is placed on conserving

water resources.

According to Agrill et al. (2017) The rapid urbanization and the constant

expansion of urban areas during the last decades have locally led to

increasing water shortage. Rainwater harvesting (RWH) systems have the

potential to be an important contributor to urban water self-sufficiency. The

goal of this study was to select an environmentally optimal RWH strategy in

newly constructed residential buildings linked to rainwater demand for laundry

under Mediterranean climatic conditions, without accounting for water from

the mains.

According to Amos et al. (2016), Rainwater harvesting (RWH) plays an

important role in increasing water security for individuals and governments.

The demand for tools to enable technical and economic analysis of RWH

systems has led to a substantial body of research in the recent past. This

paper focuses on the economic aspects of domestic RWH in urban and peri-

urban environments. In this regard, key issues are identified and discussed

including quality and quantity of harvested water, the water demand profile,

the scale of installation, interest rates, the period of analysis, real estate

value, and the water-energy-food nexus. Kenya and Australia are used as

reference points having different economies and opposing RWH policies. It

has been found that the previous studies on financial aspects of RWH

systems often had conflicting results. Most of the economic analyses have

ignored the full benefits that a RWH system can offer. In view of the varying

and conflicting results, there is a need to standardize the methods of

economic analysis of RWH systems.

2. Evaluation of the proponents as to the technical performance of the

proposed system.

Upon the acceptance of the proposed project from the initial Research

Defense that took place last semester, we started incorporating the additional

ideas (Inverter). Finding the materials was the problem we encountered.

Construction of the project was delayed so many times because of these

dilemmas.

20
|Dc-Power Motor Rainwater Harvester
CVCITC
Cagayan Valley Computer
and Information Technology College
#28 Carreon St., Centro East, Santiago City, Philippines

Once we overcame those and finally had all the components we needed, we

started the construction. We prioritized the connection of the dc motor and the

battery. Once that was secured, we started it immediately.

The main problem we encountered was when we are ready to finalize our

device and decide on how we want it to form. Since we did not have a 3D

printer for the turbine of our device, we decided to customized it. We thought

that it’s very practical and durable which suit our device.

Overall, we are satisfied in the outcome of our device as it is still in its

prototype form and we are open to further improvements in the future.

3. Evaluation on the acceptability of the proposed project as to the

following criteria.

These are tallied and calculated with the data gathered from 10 respondents

of the questionnaire we adapted to evaluate the projects’ Design and

Durability, Construction, and Safety.
