ABSTRACT
Makerere University is faced with several energy challenges ranging from deficiency,
high costs, unreliability and poor quality of energy services. The steadily rising
energy costs amidst reducing remittance to the university from government have
created urgency to reduce expenditure on energy. Therefore, there is need to seek
for measures to reduce the energy consumption through energy efficiency
interventions and to explore the potentiality of solar energy utilisation.
This study was carried out to assess the energy utilisation in Makerere university
halls and to design a supplementary solar energy system; it was limited to Mitchell
hall.
The engineering stock approach was used to obtain the estimated energy
consumption of each hall section; this provided the input to the solar thermal and PV
designs.

CHAPTER ONE: INTRODUCTION
1.1 Background
The University is one of the “big” consumers of energy in Uganda and is therefore,
faced with several energy challenges; the energy use is increasing steadily and so
are the energy bills. The university electric needs include from lighting, space
conditioning, maintaining laboratories and machinery, entertainment, and water
heating among others. Also the because of lack of enough electricity to satisfy
demand the utility company does periodic load shedding, to cope with load shedding,
some faculties and administrative offices in the university have back up diesel
thermal generators. However, the fuels cost are also ever increasing.
There is a need to look at the energy utilization of the University halls to find out the
extent to which energy efficiency interventions can save electricity bills and to
investigate the cost of introducing solar energy as a supplementary energy supply.
This is in line with the government’s plans of reducing power deficits through energy
efficiency and exploitation of renewable energy sources.
It is hoped, that this project will offer valuable options to stakeholders in higher
institutions of learning to consider efficient use of energy use in students’ residences.
5
The design of a solar thermal and PV system was chosen due to the high potential
for solar energy which can be harnessed.
1.4 Scope
The study was limited to Mitchell hall one of the ten halls of residence at Makerere
University, it was thought that all the halls have similar energy usage patterns and
therefore one would representative of the others.
6
CHAPTER TWO: METHODOLOGY
2.0 Introduction
This chapter presents the methods and materials that were adopted in order to
achieve the objectives of the study. It also details on how and why the different data
collection methods were applied and how the data collected was utilized.
The problem was identified from the idea of the course lecture on how to contribute
to the one’s campus energy system, after a background study the group brain
stormed on the several topics and the most appropriate one was chosen through
discussion. It was agreed on that the problem be broken down into tasks and
everyone was given several tasks to accomplish, some tasks were assigned to more
than one person.
Several study visits were made to obtain information regarding the extent of the
problem and to collect data that would aid in the solving of the problem. All the ten
halls of residence were visited and walk through energy audits were done on two
halls, Mitchell hall and Africa Hall.
The administrative offices were visited to obtain authority to carry out the study and
for the accounts department was visited to obtain information on the energy costs
the university halls incur.
Other places visited included the Umeme Head Offices (Uganda’s electricity utility
company), the Ministry Of Energy And Mineral Development and businesses sell
electrical appliances.
Data collection was carried out through study visits. Mitchell hall was focused on
during the study to represent all the other halls of residence as it was thought that all
the halls have the same pattern of energy utilisation.
7
Data collection techniques applied depending on the section visited included
observations, interviews, and administering questionnaires to students, business
owners and Hall officials.
All the six blocks of the halls were visited and samples of 3 out of 4 rooms on each
block were taken for the study. The students occupying these rooms were asked
about the appliances they have and their power ratings were checked and recorded.
2.4.2 Businesses
All the business owners were contacted and the same procedure as that of the
students’ rooms was carried out, the businesses include secretarial bureaus, hair
salons, laundry services and canteens.
This is the major sole consumer of energy in the hall. A separate questionnaire was
prepared and several kitchen officials were interviewed about the energy situation in
the kitchen. The kitchen energy consumption records were also reviewed and
summarised.
In these areas, walk through audits were carried out and the residents who occupy
places near each appliance were asked on how long these appliances are on in a
day.
The electricity consumption data was collected from the UMEME Head Offices in
Kampala. The records for the different halls of residence were reviewed and
summarised.
8
2.5 Estimating Energy Consumption
The engineering stock approach was used to estimate the energy consumption for
the different section of the hall. Using this approach, the consumption is estimated
based on an aggregation of “predicted” consumption of the electricity by equipment
and the multiple energy consumptions which are then linearly added (Baringanire, P.
2007).
The procedure for the design of the solar water system is given below and the
assumptions taken are considered. The
The mean radiation intensity on in Makerere is 5.6kWh/m2/day, and an average of 8
sunshine hours per day throughout the year.
The presented is the Design of Solar water heating System for Block B, this was the
same procedure followed for all the other blocks.
The solar collector model selected has the absorber material made of copper tubes
fins. A double glass cover was chosen because it increases the collection efficiency
at high temperatures by preventing heat loss by convection and conduction to the
environment. It is mostly applicable for temperatures above 700C because it slightly
more expensive than single glazing. Also the efficiency of the solar collector system
at low temperatures is reduced because of the added absorption and reflection of the
cover.
9
But the Energy demand is 35,040kWh/year, therefore, the Number of modules
required is = 35,040kWh/year = 28.6 modules
1226.4 kWh/year/module
Since the Radiation intensity = 5.6kWh/m2/day, then Insolation ‘I’ can be determined.
I= 5600 Wh/m2/day = 700 W/m2
8 h/day
η= 35.3%
the solar collector efficiency will be 35.3%
10
• The system should be safe to work with, and have minimal hazards
• It should be flexible and be used from any location around the world
• It should have limited or no negative environmental impacts like pollution
• The system should also be feasible, basing on the current technology
• The system should store the energy in a form that is readily available and
easily convertible to usable forms when required.
= 123 m2
2
Using V = πr h
Where V = Daily hot water demand = 6.16 m3
r = Radius of tank
h = Height of tank = 2 m
r = 0.99m ≈ 1m
Therefore, inside Diameter of the tank = 2 m
11
2.6.2.3 Estimation Heat Insulation Required
The accumulator will be made of stainless steel and insulated with fibre glass on the
outside because fibreglass has the following advantages:
• It is resistant to water absorption
• has low thermal conductivity
• has a high ratio of surface area to weight
• and is non combustible and this limits threats of fire if installed properly
Assumptions used:
• Thermal conductivity (k) = 0.05 W/m/K (from tables)
• Thickness of insulation ∆x = 120 mm
• Almost the whole outside cylindrical surface area of tank to be insulated so as
to minimize losses (neglecting area taken up by pipe inlets and outlets)
• Temperature inside the tank (Ti) to be = 700C and daily ambient temperature
(Ta) to be 250C
Heat loss for the design is 354W and since it is less than 10% of the demand, it can
be tolerated.
12
2.6.4 Calculation of Time for Heating the Water
Assumptions used
• Water flow rate of 1 litre per m2 solar collector per minute
• Initial water temperature being 300C and final water temperature being 700C;
rise in water temperature, ∆T = 70 - 30 = 40K
Using Puse = m cp ∆T
Where m = mass flow rate of water = 2.05 kg/s
cp = specific heat capacity of water = 4.18 kJ/kgK
Puse = 342.76 kW
The following formula was used in estimating the time required to heat the water
from 300C to 700C:
∆t
( mc p ) s [ Puse − Ls − (UA) s ( Ts − Ta ) ]
+
Ts = Ts +
Where
+
T s
= Final water temperature = 70˚C
T s= Initial water temperature = 30˚C
Δt = time for heating the water from 300C to 700C, seconds
m = mass of water in the tank = 1000kg/m3*6.16m3 = 6160kg
Cp = specific heat capacity of water = 4.18 kJ/kgK
Puse = 342.76 kW
Ls = load of the tank (W), assumed to be zero
U = heat loss coefficient assumed to be 8 W/m2K
A = surface area of the tank = 18.8496 m2
Ta = ambient temperature = 25˚C
13
2.6.5 Sizing the Heat Exchanger for Block B
A counter flow heat exchanger was chosen since it ensures a better heat exchange
between the two liquids.
Assumptions used
• Smooth Copper pipes with inside diameter di =35.9 mm and outside diameter
do = 42.4 mm from the available standard sizes on market, overall pipe length
to be 100 m
• 8 valves and 16 bends of 90º were considered
• Considering screwed pipe fittings and gate valves to be used then loss
coefficients are 0.19 and 1.2 for the valve and bend respectively (from table)
• Density of water = 1000kg/m3
• Kinematic Viscosity of water ϑ = 5.9*10-7 m2/s
• Volumetric flow rate of the pump V = 1 m3/h
d ⋅ν
Using Re = i and ν = V A
ϑ
Where A = Cross sectional area of the pipe, A = πd i 4
2
= 0.001m2
Therefore, velocity v = 0.28 m/s and Re = 17037.2881
Since Re > 2300, the flow is turbulent.
14
= 1.0658 W
15
2.7 Design of Solar PV System for Block B
Solar PV system was designed to power the following equipment in the table below.
• It was assumed that 20% of the energy is lost through the battery and inverter
• Total energy requirement per day (losses inclusive) is 120% of the demand.
= 319702.56 Wh/day
= 319702.56 /8 = 39962.82 W
The selected module is manufactured by Brightwatts, power rating of 200W.
Total number of modules needed = 39962.82 /200 = 199.8141
Therefore, 200 modules will be needed.
Assumptions:
• 12 V inverter input voltage
16
• 5 days of storage for the battery
Total energy requirement per day (20% loss inclusive) = 319702.56 Wh/day
Total amp hours per day = 319702.56 /12 = 26641.88 Ah/day
Considering 5 days of storage = 26641.88 *5 = 133209.4 Ah
Considering the discharge limit of 50% = 133209.4 /0.5 = 266418.8 Ah
Therefore, the total battery storage capacity needed is 266418.8 Ah
Number of batteries = 266418.8 /400 = 666
Batteries required will be 666 and should be connected in parallel.
INVERTER SIZING
Total power when all the components are in use = 10957W
Total power with 20% loss inclusive = 1.2 x10957 = 13148.4 W.
Therefore the inverter rating can be considered to be 13149 W
Investment cost
The costs were based on world market survey for the month of April
(www.solarbuzz.com). The cost of batteries was specific for a certain voltage and
Amp hour (Ah) rating. An average cost per Ah was estimated for 12 V Trojan deep
cycle batteries of different Ah rating. The other costs apart from the modules,
batteries and inverter are small and were assumed to be 5%.

2.8 Economic analysis
An economic analysis was carried out in order to determine the feasibility of the new
system. Also the Investment costs and operating were estimated in order to
estimate the payback period of the system if the proposed system is to be installed.
A report of the project was prepared detailing the proceeding of events and findings.
A presentation of findings was made before a panel of faculties.
2.10 Constraints
The data collected from the Hall was raw data and required being processed. The
challenges encountered are that the hall does not have a culture of record keeping;
very little is recorded.
Although everything was done to avoid suspicions, a few respondents were unwilling
to disclose the total number of running hours for their electrical appliances, and it
required a lot of time and explanation before they could release any information. This
was especially common with the small business owners at the hall of residence. In
addition, there was a time constraint.
19
CHAPTER THREE: RESULTS
The main energy consuming activities in include: lighting, domestic hot water supply,
catering, laundry, students’ electric appliances such as radios, computers,
refrigerators, kettles, percolators, television.
There are 3 major sources of energy electricity, biomass and liquefied petroleum gas
(LPG). The main source of energy is electricity. It is used for a range of applications
including especially lighting all the sections in general. In students’ rooms it is used
for entertainment, water heating, ironing clothes and air conditioning. In the kitchen it
is used for refrigeration, preparing food and heating water.
In bathrooms electricity is used for water heating however, most of the bathrooms
water heaters are no longer functional. Some students prepare hot water for bathing
from their rooms using small heaters.
Biomass and LPG are used for cooking purposes and are only utilised in the Kitchen
section. In case of electricity load shedding, these sources of energy are used solely
for the kitchen energy applications since none of the 10 halls of residence have
diesel generators to provide electricity during load shedding.
Biomass is used in form firewood for cooking, this is however poorly utilised as it is
converted to energy using the traditional three stone stoves which have low energy
efficiencies of about 15% (JEEP, 2008). The pictures 2.1 below show logs of
firewood ready to be used on the three stone stoves shown in picture 2.2 below.
JEEP, 2008. Analysis of the Stove Efficiency
20
Figure 2.2: The cooking stoves at Mitchell Hall; traditional three stone stoves
(foreground) and a defunct modern stove (left centre)
Besides the losses incurred when using the three stone stove, due to inefficient
wood combustion a lot of smoke is emitted leading pollution of the surrounding, this
put the life of the people cooking in danger as they are likely to get respiratory
diseases. Therefore there is a need to replace these stoves with more efficient one.
The hall uses one Lorry of firewood per week this amounts to approximately 6
tonnes of wood. Each lorry of fire wood costs about 350,000U - 400,000 UShs
transport costs inclusive.
This fuel is used for cooking purposes only (i.e. for preparing maize flour, meat, fish,
greens, and beans) and is the most expensive fuel per energy provided; it is supplied
by Shell Uganda Limited which provided the storage container of 850 litres (figure
2.3).
The hall is supplied with an average of 700liters of gas every 21 to 25 days (normal
use: 21 days; economical use i.e. substituting LPG with other sources of energy like
biomass: 25 days).

3.1.3 Electricity consumption
Grid electricity is used for lighting, domestic water heating and running electrical
equipment possessed by students, small business owners, catering department and
offices.
Table 3.3 shows the Monthly electricity consumption for Mitchell Hall for years from
2006 to 2009 in kWh; this information was summarised from the electric bills obtains
from Umeme offices.

The boiler has a capacity of 120 litres; it is used to prepare water four times a day on
average, this approximates to 480 litres a day. This is equivalent to 480/1000 cubic
metres. Density of water 1000m3/kg, assuming it is initially at 20oC and is the boiler is
switched off when it is at 100oC. Specific heat capacity of water is 4.2kJ/oC.

3.2 Proposed Supplementary Solar System
HEAT INSULATION
The accumulator will be made of stainless steel and insulated with fiber glass on the
outside.
• Thickness of insulation ∆x = 150 mm
• Heat loss considered for the design is 283W, it is less than 10% of the
demand, it can be tolerated.
Module selection
Assumptions used:
• 8 sunshine hours per day
BATTERY SIZING
Assumptions used:
• 12 V inverter input voltage
26
• Coolest temperature for the battery to be 250C (room temperature)
INVERTER SIZING
Total power when all the components are in use = 8,667W
Total power with 20% loss inclusive = 1.2*8,667= 10400.4 W.
Therefore the inverter rating can be considered to be 10,401 W
Investment cost
The costs were based on world market survey for the month of April
(www.solarbuzz.com). The cost of batteries was specific for a certain voltage and
Amp hour (Ah) rating. An average cost per Ah was estimated for 12 V Trojan deep
cycle batteries of different Ah rating. The other costs apart from the modules,
batteries and inverter are small and were assumed to be 5%.

CHAPTER FOUR: DATA ANALYSIS
In the halls of residence, the students own old electrical equipment that have low
energy efficiencies. This contributes to the increase in the electric consumption.
According to the available data that was collected at UMEME, electric energy
consumption increased by about 10.9% in 2006 from that of 2005 while 48.8% in
2007 from that of 2006. In 2008, the electric consumption reduced by 12.4% from
that of 2007 while the electric consumption for 2009 has been projected to reduce by
about 4.5% from that of 2008. This is partly attributed to the government’s
intervention to promote energy saving bulbs; some students have embarked on
using the energy saving bulbs for lighting thus saving energy.

CHAPTER FIVE: CONCLUSIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS
it is important that the hall of residence is provided with improved energy
saving stoves so as to improve on the energy conversion efficiency and to
reduce the associated environmental impacts.
The largest and longest term energy impact on any campus will come from a
comprehensive strategy that examines all campus energy use, the associated costs
(both financial and environmental), and comes up with strategies that reduce energy
use across the board. Such strategies should look at all sectors of energy use and
be both innovative and comprehensive.
The University needs to appoint a full time Energy Manager. The energy manager
would be responsible for managing the electricity, gas, biomass and water use. The
manager would monitor how much energy and water is being used in each of the
Halls, and analyses the data to identify areas where further improvements can be
made.
Makerere University can set an example for other Institutions and the nation by
implementing renewable energy projects like solar, energy efficiency and
environmental sustainability projects on campus to demonstrate their feasibility and
cost effectiveness. Makerere University is a centre of intellectual power, capable of
leading experiments on new technologies, and using these projects as teaching tools
and research opportunities to better the education of the next generation of voters,
consumers, politicians, and business leaders; people who will be making energy
decisions for years to come. Academia has traditionally been at the forefront of
cultural and technological change, and campuses once again can be the catalyst
that drives this country into sustainable energy independence.
While achieving energy independence may at first seem daunting, the research aims
to make it a reality by highlighting the incredible number of ways to begin. As David
Orr says, “No institutions in modern society are better equipped to catalyze the
necessary transition to a sustainable world than universities. They have access to
the leaders of tomorrow and the leaders of today. They have buying and investment
power. Consequently what they do matters to the wider public.
