ABSTRACT

The study aimed and install a 75W pico hydroelectric system for street lightings

in Brgy. Tanato, City of Balanga, Bataan.

Specifically, the study aimed to design a reliable picohydroelectric system, to

produce 75W of generated output power, to be able to power up street lights for 12

hours and to sustain a generator speed of 1500-1800 rpm to have an output frequency

of 50 to 60 Hz.

On the other hand, the parameters to consider consisted of the turbine torque

and speed, the generator speed, the charging voltage, the generator current, the

mechanical input power and the electrical output power.

The data collected through the use of various data gathering methods float

method, direct measurements and point-to-point method and various measuring

instruments such as clamp meter, multitester and tachometer. The acquired data were

tallied and evaluated to come up with the needed output required in the problem.

It was concluded that the designed picohydroelectric system in Tanato River is

able to provide 75W power for electrification and lighting of street lightings.

As a final point, the picohydroelectric system was recommended to be portable,

low maintenance, mechanically stable, more economic and more efficient.
