Abstract

Energy affects the economy, environment, and human progress. Due to modernity, energy powers most basic human needs and activities, including illumination, ventilation, movement, and security. Rapid urbanization and energy poverty have led to the need for more, better, and greener resources. This study used pico-hydropower to solve Barangay Camias, Porac, Pampanga's streetlamp system's electrical problem. Data was collected and analyzed to support the study and the power outage in Barangay Camias, Porac, Pampanga. Pico-hydropower concept and design follow. Geometric dimensioning was explained. After designing, prototype construction began. The study's siphon system used a five-gallon water jug and 20mm uPVC pipes. Hydraulic turbines were made using discarded cooling fan alternators. The generator employed a 12-volt DC motor, 3V 1000mAh rechargeable battery, and a circuit breaker. Researchers employed 1.5-V LED lights. The prototype testing yielded 2.6 V. 90mA generates 0.234W. The theoretical power (0.3190W), minimum efficient power (0.1914W), and maximum efficient power (0.2552W) were compared to the generated power. Reverse engineering calculated a 30W LED streetlight design similitude. The pico-hydropower plant prototype generated a 0.234W or 2.6V which is within the average efficient power, proving the design's efficiency and viability.
