Green energy water well

Abstract

This Energy Engineering final project consists of the realization of an international cooperation project between Catalonia and Cameroon to implement borehole running with clean energy in order to supply the 2,000 inhabitants of Banekane with drinking water. The use of photovoltaic solar energy has been considered to electrically feed a submersible pump that will be responsible for sucking water from a water borehole for later consumption. Prior to the conception of this work, it was investigated and verified that the problem and the possible solution were adapted to local needs of Banekane to justify the realization of this project. Next, the technical, economic and ecological feasibility of its implementation was studied and subsequently effort was put into place to materialize the idea. This project will study the natural features (groundwater and solar resources) of the work field where the project will be implemented so that the proposed solution is truly efficient and will last over the years. The technical calculations necessary for the sizing of installation will be carried out and all the phases that have led to its completion and launching will be described. Moreover, the involvement of the sponsors and the fundraising process carried out will be detailed. Given that the project has a social aspect and that the use of renewable energy is promoted, an observation of the social and ecological impact it will have on the locality will be made. Furthermore, the document will include the economic report, the plans and the annexes where the technical data sheets and the technical reports made by the companies contracted in Cameroon will be accessible.
