Renewable Energy System Model for Water Purification and Lighting for a Remote Village in Sri Lanka
Today, there are 3 billion people around the world not having access to drinking water. 1.76billion people are living in the areas having water stress. It has been forecasted that 1.8 billionpeople will face an absolute water scarcity and two third of the world population will be livingunder water stressed condition by 2025. Mainly the water scarcity happens due to lack oftechnological development to convert water resources in to drinkable condition. As a result ofscarcity of drinkable water people are facing health risks. In some areas of Sri Lanka, the high risk of water related diseases has been found to be veryserious. Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) is one of many aggressive diseases, which spreads in theNorth Central region of Sri Lanka. Scarcity of potable water is directly connected with the lack ofavailability of energy resources, as energy is need to purify water that is being supplied fromnatural resources such as rivers and lakes. In this study, the techno-economic viability of utilizing local renewable sources of energy togenerate electricity and purify water for drinking purposes was explored. For the case study, aremote village situated in Sri Lanka was selected. It was estimated that energy demand in the village for supply of electricity and water purificationwould be around 100 kWh/day. Based on this amount of energy, a system was designed thatutilizes solar and wind energy. The system needed 3.6 kWh to pump water having four watertanks each with 10m3 capacity. Electricity storage is to be composed of 21 Lead-Acid batteriesof 200Ah, 24V. To power the intergraded systems for water pumping and electricity supply, a 5 kW wind turbineand 25 kW solar panels were used. This whole system would cost roughly 46,620 USD which isapproximately 6 million Sri Lanka Rupees (as of 2016). ; Idag finns det 3 miljarder människor runt om i världen som inte har tillgång till dricksvatten. 1,76 miljarder människorlever i de områden som har vattenstress. Det har förutspåtts att 1,8 miljarder människor kommer att möta ...
