Electricity Generation Through the Internet of Things Integration of Mini Generators Connected to a House's Drinking Water Pipes (Mini Turbines & IOT)

This project addresses the issue of high electricity costs and supply instability in the La Troncal area, exacerbated by population growth and obsolete distribution infrastructure. The primary goal is to mitigate these problems by designing an innovative distributed energy generation system. The proposed solution involves implementing a network of mini-turbines connected directly to domestic potable water pipes to generate electricity. This system aims to reduce reliance on energy billed by the distributor, allowing for the powering of specific household sectors, such as lighting. Furthermore, it promotes environmental sustainability by decreasing the need for polluting fossil fuel generators. The methodology employed is mixed, combining a quantitative approach (simulation, testing of energy harvesting devices, and statistical data analysis) with a qualitative approach (literature review and hypothesis testing regarding the reuse of domestic resources for energy generation). The system will be integrated with Internet of Things (IoT) technologies for monitoring and management.<br/><br/><b>Goal</b>: <br/>To design an electrical energy generation system by integrating Internet of Things (IoT) mini-generators connected to a household's potable water pipes.<br/><br/><b>Research lines</b>: <br/>Telecommunications networks and their applications
