Alternative Power Generator System

Abstract

INTRODUCTION

Students in Senior High School in Malvar encountered different problems with regards to having an expensive amount of electric bill due to the different activities. Although the institution obtains a certain amount from Maintenance and Other Operating Expenses (MOOE) its budget can't suffice the different expenses in school. The preceding discussion prompted the researchers to design and construct an Alternative Power Generator System that will be a good help in conserving electricity, environmentally friendly and low-cost. The main objective of this study is to construct an Alternative Power Generator System for Senior High School in Malvar which is capable of producing electricity with the use of renewable energy. This aims to make a generator without the use of oils and gases, to test and evaluate the functionality of the generator. The project development was built into an environmental-friendly structure which allows in generating electricity without damaging its environment. Although it uses a motorcycle battery, it is not harmful to affect the environment.

METHODS

In order to make Alternative Power Generator System undertake the following stages: (1) designing, (2) estimating, (3) constructing or assembling and (4) testing and evaluating the product.

RESULTS

In the light of the significant findings revealed in the study that the design of the Alternative Power Generator System is effective and efficient, the total cost of the project was two thousand five hundred seventy pesos (₱2570.00), the project was completed with easy to follow steps and with the use of simple tools and equipment and the project Alternative Power Generator System is functional and cost-effective.

DISCUSSIONS

The researchers formulated the following recommendations for the improvement and promotion of the product. First, use the Alternative Power Generator System as a source of electricity and model during a power interruption. Second, the system can be used as a teaching tool for the students concerning with the study of electricity and how the sunlight turns into electricity. Third, using an enlarged size of the different components is highly recommended to enhance the electrical capacity provided from the sun. The fourth number of the user should be limited depending on the capacity of the electricity produced from the sun. Lastly, charge the battery before using the generator to make sure it works efficiently.
