2. INTRODUCTION
With global energy demands on the rise, reliance on fossil fuels has become increasingly
unsustainable.
To mitigate these challenges, the focus has shifted towards both conventional and non-
conventional energy sources, including solar, wind, nuclear, hydraulic, and biomass energy.
The development of efficient hydraulic systems contributes to a more sustainable and resilient
energy infrastructure for the future.
This process typically begins with water stored in reservoirs, which is then directed through
penstocks. As the water passes through nozzles, it undergoes expansion, resulting in a high-
velocity jet that impinges on the turbine blades.

4. OBJECTIVES
The study aims to assess the potential of harnessing energy from wastewater through the use of
a portable turbine.
The portable turbine is designed to efficiently capture energy from the flow of wastewater,
contributing to renewable energy initiatives.
Factors such as turbine size, efficiency, and environmental impact are evaluated to optimize its
performance.
The study explores the technical and practical aspects of integrating such a system into the
campus infrastructure.
Potential applications and benefits of utilizing wastewater for power generation are examined,
highlighting its role in promoting sustainability and reducing environmental impact

5. METHODOLOGY
The first step in this study is to select an appropriate location based on the availability of wastewater and the
desired flow rate.
Next, a turbine suitable for the specific conditions of the chosen location and flow rate of water is selected
through careful consideration of factors such as efficiency, size, and durability
The turbine is selected, the design process begins, taking into account the collected data on the location and
flow rate of water.
After finalizing the design, the materials required for fabrication are gathered, ensuring they meet the
necessary specifications for durability and performance in the wastewater environment.
Turbine is then fabricated according to the design specifications, taking care to adhere to quality standards
and construction guidelines.
Following fabrication, the turbine is installed in the selected location within the campus,

6. COMPONENTS
TURBINE : A turbine is a fascinating rotary mechanical device that extracts energy from a fluid flow and
converts it into useful work.
GENERATOR :The generator converts the mechanical energy from the turbine into electrical energy. For a
portable system, want a small and lightweight generator that can produce the required power output.
STORAGE BATTERY :An electric battery is a fascinating source of electric power. It consists of one or
more electrochemical cells with external connections.
CONTROL SYSTEM : Implement a control system to regulate the power output and manage the charging
and discharging of the battery. This may include voltage regulators, charge controllers, and safety features to
prevent overcharging or over-discharging of the battery.
MECHANICAL DESIGN :Designing a portable and durable housing or frame to mount the turbine,
generator, battery, and control system is essential. It's crucial to ensure that the system is waterproof and
capable of withstanding outdoor conditions

7. CONCLUSIONS
By preparing a suitable portable turbine, we can generate power from wastewater available in any
location.
Generating power from wastewater not only saves energy but also facilitates the efficient utilization
of water at a lower cost.
