Abstract

This research addresses the pressing need for innovative and sustainable energy solutions in communities like Sapangbato, situated in Pampanga, where unreliable access to electricity hampers development and daily life. Due to their high costs, traditional energy sources not only have negative environmental effects but also hinders economic growth. This endeavor uses an experimental research design to create a portable hydropower generator employing Archimedes Screw Turbines (ASTs) in order to overcome these problems. Our goal is to increase turbine efficiency by examining variables like inclination angles and flow rates using numerical analysis and experiments, building on past research. The researchers used statistical techniques such as Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) to grasp how different variables interact and affect power generation and efficiency. To ensure a thorough evaluation, data collection included obtaining design specifications, performance data, and statistical metrics. This study used a structured approach to find insights for improving renewable energy systems and solving energy-related issues in communities such as Sapangbato.
