This Project was done in SOLIDWORKS for Project of the year 2021 challenge by 3DEXPERIENCE Edu which will be best suited for rural area with farms has sufficient wind over the maximum period of season and maintains decent sunlight during the day. These situation are true for most of the cases in my country of Bangladesh.
Here more than half of the population is dependent on farming. Most of the house in a rural area along with farming in the lands, they also farm cows, goats, chicken, ducks, etc. This produces challenges of dumping their dung safely. But, using proper designing this can be converted to bio-gas which can be used in the kitchen for cooking or as a fuel for generating electricity. As a result, this will reduce the carbon footprints in my country as most of the families still uses wood as their primary fuel. Besides lack of electricity connection can be solved by carefully planning uses of renewable energy like solar wind etc. This design project can be described in the following points: 1: House Layout design i. Farm animals on the 1st-floor. ii. Living arrangement on 2nd-floor. iii. 2nd floor can be copied according to the demand. iv. 3rd floor is for wind energy generation and additional living. v. r. 4th floor/roof is for solar energy generation. 2: Bio-fuel Plant i. Situated outside the. ii. Dungs of cows are channeled through pipes. iii.Greywater and human stool get mixed in a mixing chamber. iv. Mixing can be done both manually and automatically using electric motor. v. Gate opens to transfer samples to decomposition chamber. vi. Samples get fermented here. vii.Gas is generated and gets trapped in the upper side of the dome. viii.Stored gas can be transferred to the kitchen and use as fuel via a supply pipe. ix. Remaining’s gets to slurry pit through hydraulic chamber. x. Good quality fertilizer can be collected from here after a period of time. xi. 4m3 of bio-gas can be produced by which 3 families will be able to get 4 hours of cooking time using a standard gas stove. 3. Solar Power generation i. 6-row of Solar panel installed. ii. Rotatable along one axis according to the position of the sun, which increases efficiency. iii.Single panel of Sun power X series residential solar panel can produce up to 0.47kW. iv. Total capacity of 31kW. v. Average of 4.7-7.5 hours’ sunlight can be achieved daily. vi. Special piping is installed to spray water at different period of the day, to remove dust which reduces efficiency. vii.Maximum of 358kW of power can be produced when sufficient sunlight is ensured. viii.Electricity demand of 3 families of average size can be met with this setup 3. Wind energy generation i. 6 compact turbines installed on the 3rd floor ii. They are installed in the south as south wind flows really well in my region iii.The turbine is situated vertical rather than conventional horizontal type iv. Turbine is connected to the shaft by magnetic polarity rather than bearing reducing noise v. Turbines can be locked when not required or for safety reason vi. In the rainy season wind blows heavily compared to another season which subsidizes the lack of sunlight vii.Maximum of 108kW of power can be produced when sufficient wind is provided 4. Peizo Electricity Generation i.Small amount of electricity can be produced using several piezo tiles situated in key areas inside 5. Water and waste management i. Black-water and human stool are piped to the mixing chamber of the bio-fuel plant ii. Rainwater or solar panel washed water can be piped through a valve iii.This valve can directly transfer to plant watering pipe network iv.Or can be transferred to ground level tank for storage when watering isn't required v.The unpurified water then can be moved to a fresh tank after purifying ready to be used when required vi.A motor then transfers this water to the main tank at the top vii.To make safe use of overflow of the tank the water is passed to the piping network of the plants for better usage viii.The piping network also collects water from the immediate upper soil system ix.The water at last discharged to the ding channel of the cattles x.The animal water is supplied directly by pipe from the upper main tank xi.Al the wastes from the house are dumped into 4 bins which dedicated are for papers, plastic, fermentable and liquid xii.The paper, plastic wastes are collected by local salvagers xiii.The fermentable products are dumped into a slurry pit which eventually turns into fertilizer Discussion with respect to seasons: 1: Summer i. Hottest and requires more power for cooling ii. More sunlight in a day resulting in more energy iii.In many cases, air conditioning is required 2: Rainy season i. Few sunlight hours but more wind ii. Less solar energy but more wind energy iii.No air conditioning required 3: Winter i. No heating required as it never gets that much cold here ii. No floor heating required iii.Water can be heated using biogas rather than electric grizzler iv. Less sunlight and also less power required.
