Abstract

Objective of this research is to apply solar and wind energy to generate electricity for treating wastewater from the seafood industry to reduce the use of electrical energy in the treatment. Electric energy produced from solar and wind was used in the operation of the wastewater treatment control system. It was implemented by using a 350-watt solar cell to control the movement of the panels following the sun and two 70-Watt vertical axis wind turbines with 12 Volt 150 Amp-hour battery. Arduino board was used for a control system and Lattepanda board was used in programming. The electric energy obtained was then used with the 80 liters wastewater treatment. The results revealed that the removal efficiencies of COD TSS and TDS are 98.17%, 98.12% and 62.95%, respectively. These are found to be within the standard. The electric power from solar energy and wind power can produce an average of 3,002.8 Watt hours where the wastewater treatment process uses 296 Watt hours of electricity in each cycle. The cost per production unit is 7.61 Baht per cubic meter.  It was clearly indicated that the electricity produced is sufficient for the basic needs of electricity. During the summer, it can produce more electricity than rainy season.
