 BACKGROUND OF THE STUDY

Electricity is one of the most demanded power source worldwide. It allows people to do

their daily routine easily and comfortably. It deals an important role to our society since we

cannot deny the fact that majority of technology-driven gadgets we use today are electricity

generated. (International Electro Technical Commission)

According to Dr. Adoration Navarro of the Philippine Institute for Development Studies

(PIDS), 16 million of the Philippines’ population has no access to electricity from electric

companies. The country has also an overall electrification rate of 83%. Its urban electrification

rate is 94% which is 21 notches higher than it\s 73% rural electrification rate. According to him,

electricity shortages are much greater in rural areas than in urban areas.

Recently, power generators are widely produced in order to supply electricity without

interfering and will not pass through the process of electric cooperatives. The main equipment

used in the generators are magnets and DC motors. Permanent magnet machines are well-known

and spreading class of rotating and linear electric machines used in both motoring and generating

modes. They have been use for many years in applications where its structures are simple and

has low-cost. More recently, they have applied to more in demand applications, which is the

result of the availability of low-cost power electronic control devices and the improvement of

permanent magnet characteristics. Generally, modern permanent magnet machines are

competitive in both performance and cost with many types of machines. Permanent magnet

generators form a class of permanent magnet machines. Majority of the power generator usually

focuses on charging gadgets like mobile phones, and specific types of battery.
 This study focuses mainly on charging certain types of devices and regulating the desired

voltage flow for sustaining the right amount of electricity. This study will be tested if it is more

efficient and more precise compared to a standard household electrical outlet.

 OBJECTIVES OF THE STUDY

General Objectives
 To be able to supply moderate to large amount of electricity to a device undergoing

charging process.

Specific Objectives

 To generate between 100-250 volts of electricity.

 To effectively sustain electricity supply by 15% per 5 minutes.
 To supply long-lasting electricity supply for approximately 10 minutes higher than

normal.
 To indicate and regulate the voltage when the battery is fully charged.

STATEMENT OF THE PROBLEM

Can the Bicycle Power Generator supply the needed amount of electricity to efficiently

sustain the device charged during the process?

General Problem

Does the Bicycle Power Generator effectively supply the desired amount of electricity to

a charging device?

Specific Problems

 How effective is the “Bicycle Power Generator” in supplying electricity?

  Up to how many Hour/s or Minute/s does it takes for the Bicycle Power Generator

to charge a standard smartphone?

 How much electricity does this machine generate?

STATEMENT OF HYPOTHESES

NULL:
 There is no significant difference between the “Bicycle Power Generator” and the

standard household electrical outlet.

ALTERNATIVE:
 There is a significant difference between the “Bicycle Power Generator” and the

standard household electrical outlet.

SIGNIFICANCE OF THE STUDY

Electricity is one of the biggest problems that our society is facing, so we will propose a

prototype that will aide in supplying electricity. It helps us when power supply and is low and

this will be a good alternative for electric supply. It will give advantage to the user since it can

supply the desired amount of electricity in a matter of minutes.

 We will make this study to supply electricity to appliances and gadgets that we need in

our everyday lifestyle. We noticed that charging a phone in a standard household electrical outlet

takes too long, so we decided to make the Bicycle Power Generator with a battery indicator.

This will have a significant advantage to those people who will be using this device since

the process of producing and supplying electricity is eco-friendly and doesn’t emit greenhouse

gases. It is also lightweight and doesn’t take too much time to manufacture.

Scope and Limitations

This study is limited to the production and efficiency of a prototype that will be a source

of electricity compared to a standard household electrical outlet.

The device will be assembled and manufactured in Bislig City National High School’s

Physics Laboratory where the materials and other tools used are found. The testing of the

prototype will be done inside the laboratory so as the analysing the data. The device that will be

used to both tests is a Samsung J5 with 1.5GB RAM and 8GB internal storage. The procedure

was performed by the student researchers with the help and guidance of a professional or a

guardian.

A Vector Controlled Induction Generator Feeding AC motor for different use in isolated

site

Rachid El akhrif, Ahmed Abbou, Mohammed Akherraz, Youssef Majdoub

The induction machine operating as a generator in isolated areas has receive considerable

attention in recent years, however the main drawback is poor voltage control when speed and

load change. This paper present indirect vector control strategy for both SEIG and induction

motor-(self excited induction generator feeding induction motor for different use) using classical

regulator proportional integral (PI) and Fuzzy controller. The comparison between the two

methods under the same condition is illustrated by simulations.

In Situ Electrical Parameter Identification Method For Induction Wind Generator

I Zubia, A Zatarain , C Alcalde, X Ostolaza

The goal of this work is to present a standstill method to Identify induction generator parameter

typically used in wind generation. The method is based on the frequency domain identification of

direct, quadrature and zero sequence frequency response to identify five parameters of the

machine. These test replace the conventional locked-rotor and no-load test. The magnetising

inductance saturation problem I optimally tackled by means of sensitivity analysis. The proposed

method has been validated using non-linear time-domain simulations of a 660 kW wind

generator and the experimental results are validated on a laboratory test bed whose parameters

were already known by conventional test.

Control scheme for the wide operation range of induction generator with the veinna rectifier in

wind turbines systems

Jin-Hyuk Park, June-Seok Lee, Kyo-Beum Lee

This paper proposes a control scheme for the wide operation range of an induction generator (IG)

with a Vienna rectifier. A Vienna rectifier has the limited operation range because the sign of the

current should be the same as that of the voltage in the normal operation. For this reason, the

power factor of a Vienna rectifier is also limited. In the IG, the d-axis stator current is necessary

for the self excitation of the IG. Usually, the d-axis stator current is controlled to the rated d-axis

current, which means that IG can operate in the low power factor.

REVIEW OF RELATED LITERATURE

Power System from 2006 – 2016

Power system restoration has attracted more attention and made great progress of the

power system restoration from 2006 to 2016 is reviewed in this paper such as: black-start,
network reconfiguration and load restoration. Some emerging methods and key techniques are

also discussed in the context of the integration of variable renewable energy and development of

the smart grid. There is a long way to go to achieve automatic self-healing in the bulk power

systems because of its extreme complexity. However, rapidly developing artificial intelligence

technology will eventually enable the step-by-step dynamic decision-making based on the

situation awareness of supervisory control and data acquisition (SCADA) and wide area

measurement system (WAMS) in the near future. (Liu; Fan; Terzija, 2016).

It was identified the components needed for the realization of the project such as

inverters, transformer, electric motor, generator. Materials needed have been also identified for

the packaging of the project. The conceptualization of the design has been done by using the

selection process of the components and depending also in the needed flow of the project with

respect to the concepts behind every components. The researcher has come up with the final

design and specifications of the project. (DESTREZA, 2014).

Generator Components

Permanent magnet machines are well-known and spreading class of rotating and linear

electric machines used in both motoring and generating modes. They have been use for many

years in applications where its structures are simple and has low-cost. More recently, they have
applied to more in demand applications, which is the result of the availability of low-cost power

electronic control devices and the improvement of permanent magnet characteristics. Generally,

modern permanent magnet machines are competitive in both performance and cost with many

types of machines. Permanent magnet generators form a class of permanent magnet machines.

These generators have divided into two groups: geared machines and direct-driven machines.
 METHODOLOGY

PREPARATION OF MATERIALS
Prepare all the materials that will be needed for the production of the Bicycle Power
Generator with Battery Indicator. Classify and separate the materials of the two devices that will
be assembled later. Prepare also the equipments and tools that will be used to fix the material in
place,
ASSEMBLY OF BICYCLE PARTS
First, assemble the parts like wheels, pedal, chain to the bicycle body and secure it
properly to prevent it from falling apart. Use tools like screwdriver and adjustible to fix bolts,
nuts and screw in place.
BUILDING OF BICYCLE STAND FOR SUPPORT
Second, weld the metal rods that will become the bicycle’s stand. The stand prevents the
bicycle from moving. Thus, it will make the bike neutral when it is used. Make sure that the
bicycle stand will be screwed tightly so it could hold on to heavy-weight materials.
INSERTING DC MOTOR AND OUTLET IN THE BICYCLE
After the bicycle is set, insert the DC motor into the bicycle to convert mechanical energy
into electrical energy. The outlet will be connected within the DC motor so the electrical current
will flow into the outlet and will be available for plugging in electrical appliances.
PUT TOGETHER THE RESISTOR AND DIODES INTO THE CIRCUIT BOARD
In a separate worktable, prepare the resistor and diodes to be inserted into the portable
circuit board. This will serve as the Battery Indicator for the Power Generator. Arrange the
resistor BC547 together with diode 4007, 2 Light Emitting Diodes, and 3 resistors according to
the circuit diagram. Using the soldering iron, connect it together to prevent it from separating.
SOLDERING OF THE CIRCUIT INTO THE CIRCUIT BOARD
After soldering the circuit, solder it again into the portable circuit board so it will function
properly. Apply the circuit board with ferric chloride before putting the circuit. Finish the Battery
Indicator with a cover to prevent the circuit board from damages.
CONNECTING THE BATTERY INDICATOR INTO THE BICYCLE POWER
GENERATOR
Then, connect the Battery Indicator to the Bicycle Power Generator to indicate and
regulate the electrical current that is received by the outlet via Bicycle Power Outlet. Screw it
tightly into the bicycle to prevent it from falling off during the process.
DISPOSAL OF GARBAGE AND WASTE MATERIALS
Lastly, all the waste materials that are accumulated during the production will be disposed
properly according to the kind of wastes and segregate it. The chemicals used in the
experimentation are properly disposed and will not be exposed to other people.
