Abstract:

Green renewable electric power generation has been designed using the water flow from anoverhead tank during regular consumption of water of domestic use. Kinetic energy of the fallingwater is used to rotate a micro turbine coupled with a DC generator... The generated DC power isstored in a battery. When the energy stored in the battery is sufficient an inverter is switched on to generate AC power for domestic use.Rest of the timeloadgetspowe rfromthe normal commercial line. Potential energy of the water stored in the overhead tank is thus utilized to supplement someenergy used in the form of hydro-electric Yearly recovery of energy is quite substantial. SufficientQuantity of water will be stored into underground water tank. This water is pumped into overheadtank and allowed to fall into the turbines thereby turbines will rotate. Turbines shaft both the sidewill be connected with multiple stage pulley system to increase the RPM and then with alternator.Whenturbinerotatesautomaticallyalternatorswillrotateandpowergenerationwilltakeplace.Thefalling water will again will go into underground water tank through a cannel. Cannel water forcealsowill rotate theturbines and alternators.
