ENGINEERING PROJECTECONOMICAL ELECTRICITY GENERATION FROM WASTE WATER
ENGINEERING PROJECTEXECUTIVE SUMMARYRenewable energy is increasingly focused by not only the large scale to small scaleindustries, but also by the individuals. There are various kinds of sources of renewable energyand several ways of converting them into the conventional electric energy. Since, in technicalaspects, there are multiple methods and ways are available, most economic method is consideredby the small scale industries and also by the individuals. Hence, the hydroelectricity is one of themost economical ways of converting the kinetic energy into potential energy. The project has thefocus on exploiting the kinetic energy that can be created using smaller water flow, from thewaste water, released from the households, after using water for household applications. Thewaste water is considered as the input resource material to generate the electricity that can besufficient for driving the appliances used in the household. The project is focused on creating thedesign and implementing the conversion of kinetic energy created by the flow of waste waterinto the conventional energy, needed for a single house.

ENGINEERING PROJECTECONOMICAL ELECTRICITY GENERATION FROM WASTE WATERIntroductionRenewable and economical energy is the current focus of the world, since itcan convert the energy from varied renewable energy sources into another form,the electrical energy. Renewable energy is collected from the resources that can berenewable, without result of any harm to the environment and so to the humankind. The renewable resources are expected to be replenished naturally, like rain,wind, waves, geothermal energy, tides, sunlight etc. Moving one step ahead, theproject is intended to use the waste resources that are going to create the water andenvironmental pollutions and covert them into electrical energy. Here, the variationis that the electrical energy that is going to be converted from the flow ofwastewater from the household is of lower level, because of the small scale project(Sørensen, 2004). The electrical energy will be generated that is enough for thehousehold requirement of electricity. There are three kinds of renewable energy created, hydro, solar and windelectricity, primarily. Among these kinds, geothermal and hydro-electricity are thecheapest or less expensive ways of electricity generation. When the conventionalmethods are considered, small hydro and run-of-the-river methods ofhydroelectricity are followed, towards less hassle of not setting up larger reservoir. The electrical energy that is going to be created from the flow of waste waterfrom the household is expected to generate through hydroelectricity, in this project(Wehrli, 2011).
ENGINEERING PROJECTLiterature ReviewHydropowerThe current share of hydroelectricity in the renewable energy is 3.9% ofhydro electricity, in terms of electricity consumption. The hydro electricity isusually generated in larger scale, by employing the large dams, etc. In terms ofhydropower, total 16.6% of electricity is generated, in the world (Sørensen, 2004). Hydropower can be generated by using water, since density of water is 800times more than that of the air. So, water, even when it flows, from a moderate seaswell or in a small stream can enable the generation of energy. Largest amount ofhydroelectricity is produced by China, having about 45,000 installations of hydropower in smaller scale. Figure: Hydroelectric System and Dam
