Simulation and analysis of energy harvesting from grey water and rain water in high rises

摘要

Leading edge research on the renewable sources of energy is on a rise in order to meet the increasing energy demand. The objective of this project is to harvest potential energy inherent in tall buildings using micro-pelton turbine at the ground from grey water and rain water. Purified water is collected in separate tanks and a control system is designed for optimum power output from the micro-turbine which is analyzed computationally. With the escalating number of high rises and increasing awareness about renewable sources of energy, this source of energy can become a viable alternative.
