Executive Summary

Combined Sewer Overflow Power Generation is a project aimed to determine a range of

power requirements for the environmental remediation solutions that could be implemented at

each CSO. Northumbria University students were tasked to completing the Combined Sewer

Overflow Power Generation, and this report provides them with the information they need to

guarantee that the project is successfully completed and managed. In order to accomplish this,

the report has produced Programs and Schedules that may be implemented to the project based

on the project's characteristics and the needs of the client. Because of this, the report established

Management of relevant training programs for the project based on the demands of the client,

including the requirement for early project delivery and regular client engagement in the project.

On the basis of this, the Northumbria student recommends the most relevant solutions to be

employed in the project, which it is believed will be most effective in achieving the largest

possible benefit for the client.

Introduction

The advanced practices semester will help a lot of things to lean in my upcoming projects and

real-time experiences. Each stage of work is very challenging for me and makes me give the best

output to the client and prove myself as the best. Mainly this semester teach me how to engage

the client and what type of work I have to be present in a real-time project, and how to engage in

the project phases and the engagement of work has expressed below.

How students engaged the work

Stage.1

The Northumbrian pupils showed a high level of enthusiasm for the task. The student’s

determination to do their best was evident in their demeanor and positive attitude, which all

indicated how they were going to approach the job. In order to participate in the project, the

students divided themselves into groups, with each group being assigned a specific aspect of the

work.

Stage.2

Each group was led by a group leader, whose primary responsibility was to ensure that the work

flowed smoothly. Each group was given a specific amount of time in which to complete their

tasks. The goal of establishing a time restriction for completion of the task was to ensure that the

entire project was completed on schedule.

Stage.3

The project manager was responsible for ensuring that the project was presented efficiently and

on time. The students devised four distinct steps for delivering high-quality project presentations

as part of the process of ensuring high-quality project presentation.

The steps are as follows:

 Preparation of a bio

 Project allocation

 Midterm presentation

 Final presentation

4

Step One

Students were expected to prepare data. The preparation of data was a vital

component of the project's overall success. At this point, students were given the responsibility

of preparing their own data, following which they were divided into groups based on the

information contained in their data forms. Stage one was extremely important since it

necessitated the application of individual knowledge and skills for the students. Many students

attempted to be critical in the application of their own expertise in order to prepare data

throughout the stage one.

Step Second

Project allocation, the advanced groups that had been formed were assigned a project to

work on. It was necessary for the groups to organize themselves in order to work on the project.

It was envisaged that each group would have a group leader as well as distinct positions inside

the group for the purpose of subdivision of work. The group leaders were responsible for

ensuring that all proper procedures were followed within their respective groups. In addition,

they were expected to submit the completed project to their supervisor for review and approval.

The formation of separate groups was necessary in order to ensure that the project was presented

in a professional manner.

Step Three

The students were required to produce a midterm presentation for the client at the third

stage, which was called the midterm presentation. This stage was critical in determining the

direction of the group's endeavor. The students were obliged to present their project to the client,

after which the client would provide positive feedback on both the project and the students'

presentation abilities. Additionally, the client was required to either give a clear pass for the

continuation of the project or turn down the project and request the students to participate in the

project from the beginning again. Following the presentation of the project and the receipt of

feedback from the client, the group leaders were required to deliver a final presentation to the

group.

5

Step Four

The final and most important stage is the final presentation. At this point, the project's final

presentation was given to the audience. It was decided that the projects that had passed would

have the opportunity to make a final presentation. This stage signified the conclusion of the

project presentation and the awarding of final grades or an award to the best project. The project

managers and students got heartfelt acclaim for the efforts they put forth to see that the projects

were completed and delivered to the client on time. In addition, the client praised their efforts

because they were collaborative.

About the Client

1Northumbria water is a water-based company to provides water & sewerage services to

northeast locations in England. It was founded in 1989 with a base in Durham city, England. It

occupies almost 9400 km2 urban area which contributes majorly populated rural districts of

Durham and Northumberland.

About the project

The Northumbria Combined Sewer Overflow Power Generation project was sponsored by

University of Northumbria water. The primary goal of the client, to determine a range of power

requirements for the environmental remediation solutions that could be implemented at each

CSO (Rizzo et al., 2020). Following the recommendations of this project, in order to fulfill its

objectives of from various sources and Hydro power is a very efficient source of renewable

energy.

Project Challenges

This document gives a report based on the project Combined Sewer Overflow Power

Generation. Main goal of Combined Sewer Overflow is to Determining a range of power

requirements for the environmental remediation solutions that could be implemented at each

CSO (Botturi et al., 2020). Northumbrian Water has 1500 CSOs within their sewer network.

Combined sewer networks transport sewerage from domestic and industrial facilities as well as

rainwater from streets and pavements. During times of heavy rain, when the flow capacity

within the sewer is likely to be exceeded, CSO’s allow the discharge of raw sewerage into water

courses such as streams and rivers. CSO’s are effectively overflow valves that avoid discharge

of raw sewerage in homes and streets. It was expected of the students to produce plans and

schedules that might be employed in the project, taking into consideration the features of the

project as well as the needs of the client. It was expected that in the report, the students would

describe clear solutions for this project that were suited for client needs, including the need for

early delivery of the project and the necessity for constant client involvement in the project. A

students from Northumbria University people made recommendations for the most appropriate

solutions to be used in the project and for the client ratifications.

Project Team: Team Members and Responsible tasks

In total, there are three people on the project team.

ARATHI REDDY: Project Manager (PM),

Each member of the team was responsible for completing a certain assignment. ARATHI

REDDY was to Plan and develop the project ideas, lead the team, Monitor the project progress,

and Evaluate the project Performance.

OMER KHAN: Communication Lead, and

OMER KHAN was to develop the communication plans, Implementing the work

strategies and Barrier between the client and team.

RANGA SAI: Resource Investigator.

RANGA SAI was to Exploring & Reporting Back on ideas, develop the outside sources

and implementing the new sources.

My role in the project

I was hired as a project manager. My responsibilities included Planning and developing

the project ideas, leading the team, Monitoring the project progress, and Evaluating the project.

As a project manager, I make it a point to involve team members in the completion of their tasks.

I was also required tomanage the production of the required deliverables, planning and

monitoring the project, adopting any delegation and use of project assurance roles within agreed

reporting structures and preparing and maintaining project, stage and exception plans as required.

What I learnt from the project stages

Being a member of a student's team has provided me with numerous opportunities to

learn about communication, leadership, and teamwork. Throughout the course of the project, I

came to realize that communication is essential for any effective collective effort. Because we

were not permitted to consult during the initial stage, it was a little difficult for me. I took my

time to figure out what was needed to be accomplished. The second step was a little less difficult

8

because we were working in groups and were permitted to express our thoughts. I have come to

know that communication is really effective, especially when working in a group. We were able

to create a suitable working environment because of effective communication.

As previously noted, another thing I have learned is the importance of leadership. During

the project group stages, we were given the opportunity to select leaders for each group. The

leaders' role was to organize and ensure that high-quality work was being done at the group and

individual levels of organization. It was necessary to maintain steady leadership throughout the

stage group project in order for the project to be completed. Many other groups failed to deliver

their project to the client as a result of inadequate leadership on the part of the project team. As a

result, I have learned that effective leadership is essential for every project's success.

Challenges faced when writing the report

Impact on Communication

Poor communication was one of the challenges that were experienced during the course

of drafting this report. When it comes to teamwork, coordination is not considered a separate

activity; rather, it is referred to as the context of group work in some circles. Communication

should be maintained throughout the project, from the planning stage to the control phase. The

absence of this function will cause the group's work to change and become ineffective, and the

effect of the interaction between the positions of authority and the work of the team on the

group's work will be diminished as well. Coordination kicks off all actions in a team's work and

ensures that they are strong and successful in accomplishing the group's goals. As a result, there

is greater harmony between individual efforts to attain group objectives.

Conflict Resolution

Conflicts are reduced, disputes are resolved, time is spent, delays are experienced, apathy

is experienced, and other organizational difficulties are encountered. As a result, with the

assistance of communication, the group can reach its objectives more quickly. Additionally,

networking activities aid in the improvement of relationships inside the group. Team leaders

coordinate their efforts with the member, which aids in the development of positive relationships

9

between the two of them (Locke et al., 2013). Coordination is widely regarded as the essence of

cooperative endeavors. When it comes to achieving common goals, it is necessary for a group's

many features and activities to be harmonized and coordinated. Leaders are unable to bring

together the diverse components of a team into a cohesive whole unless there is effective

communication amongst all members of the team.

Challenges faced when handling Combined Sewer Overflow Power Generation project

The project presented a number of difficulties for me, including the selection of team

roles and functions, communication, project document editing, and final presentation, to name a

few examples. Because everyone is proficient in their respective duties and obligations, I am

only experiencing a minor difficulty in assigning roles and responsibilities to the team at this

moment. To get over this, we did a simple thing: we cut out the forms in the group and collected

all of the ideas, following which we decided on the duties and responsibilities of the group.

Communication is the most difficult obstacle in every project's execution. Because we are all

unfamiliar with this type of culture, editing project documentation presents a significant problem

during the semester of created practices. Initially, we were unsure about how to format various

forms of writings in accordance with the style of the United Kingdom. Everyone in the group, on

the other hand, was quite helpful and assisted one another in preparing texts. Presentation is

another significant issue because, while we initially believe it will be difficult, we eventually

provide an amazing presentation that incorporates all of the client's features and benefits.

Professional & Personal Reflection on Combined Sewer Overflow Power Generation

project

When it comes to project proposals, they are categorized as a sort of language that is

frequently used to streamline the working ties that exist between an institution and its external

partners, according to the International Standardization Organization (Locke et al.,

2013).Whenever it comes to research frameworks, a project is sometimes referred to as a first

phase because it is utilized to develop a project concept and its outcomes, in addition to the

outcomes that the researcher aims to attain as a result of his or her research program. As a

10

general rule, each form of development project should include a list of all the tasks and activities

that will be involved in all of the work, as well as a description of the project vision and a

description of the project's historical context.

Steps Used in the Combined Sewer Overflow Power Generation project

An extensive series of steps were taken in order to Combined Sewer Overflow Power

Generation project including the following:

 First step: Introduction of the project

 Second step: Explaining various concepts in the project

 Third step: Project identification

 Fourth step: The project process

 Fifth step: Delivery of deliverables and the definition of success and criteria

 Sixth step: Outlining the plan and approach

 Seventh step: Installation of the project.

 Eighth step: outlining the schedules

In addition to project specifics such as the facility's name and its title, a project overview,

a project deadline, and project communications involving anyone who was involved in the

project as a whole were all included in the project details section. This is critical because it

serves as the foundation for carrying out the complete research proposal and obtaining the

resources necessary to carry out the research proposal activities and activities related to the

research proposal. It was necessary to define the problem category in order to identify a broad

issue that the project was attempting to address, as well as the reasons why the issue was deemed

a problem and the reasons why it was necessary to fix the problem in the first place.

In the overview section of the project, the goal linked with this section was to explain the

many factors that drove the project and to indicate the stated objectives (Springer, 2012). The

11

writing in this part is concise and extensive. Why and ‘what’, ‘how’, and the time that would be

spent on the project plan was well outlined. It is at this point when the backdrop of the project is

explained. This included offering short sentences that helped clarify the Project-related issue.

The current situation regarding the issue and the essential reasons why the audience needs to care

about coming up with an effective set of answers was outlined in full (Botturi et al., 2021). One

of the primary goals linked with this section was to provide information on how to construct a

timeline for attaining the solution as well as information on the resources available in other areas.

There was a list of all the deliverables that were expected to be finished after the completion of

the full project, which was provided in relation to the project's delivery schedule. There was a

guarantee that all deliveries would arrive at their designated time.

It was determined that the project module phase corresponded to the phase of developing

a specific plan for achieving the various types of objectives identified in the project research.

This is frequently referred to as the first phase of a proposal since it specifies a course of action

that has been identified to assist in providing a solution to the problem and helps to ensure that

appropriate research has been conducted before making a choice (Chen et al., 2019). During the

presentation, the approach that was taken was highlighted, and the development of a goal-

oriented approach was discussed. This included putting together some sort of project summary

consisting of a few phrases that demonstrated the broad type of project design strategy used in

the project. This contains details on how the identified team will be successfully formed, the

types of tools that will be used, and how the adjustments will be taken into account during the

performance evaluation process (Ruppelt et al., 2020). This demonstrates how the entire process

will be carried out as well as the seriousness of the research proposal, since it frequently

describes the technique to be employed to ensure the effective implementation of project

outcomes and delivery schedules.

Delivery Description and Success Conditions section assisted with the presentation of a

picture of the numerous types of activities and Attributes linked to delivery, as well as the main

approaches to comprehend how a project works and functions well (Bonnel et al., 2014). Using

a functioning delivery date, as well as a description of what the target project will produce and

12

what customers may expect from it as cloud computing systems that will perform best without

generating inefficient general cloud computing systems, this has been accomplished successfully.

A risk register, which includes a list of risk factors and potential mitigation efforts, is

included in Step 7, Risk Analysis and Management. This section includes an analysis of the

various types of risks and risks that may affect research, as well as a risk register, which includes

a list of risk factors as well as potential mitigation efforts, which must be used to combat the

various types of risks and risks that may affect research. Part of Step 8, which specifies the

Schedules, was devoted to the division of labor and the estimation of time frames, in addition to

the identification of all project deliverables. There was also a presentation of the Project Plan,

which included the division of labor and time projections. A list of all of the actions required for

this project is created, as well as an estimate of the number of hours required to complete each of

them is provided. One of the primary goals linked with this section was to provide information

on how to construct a timeline for attaining the solution as well as information on the resources

available in other areas.

Finally, the installation section was the final stage of the project's completion. It takes

place after ensuring that all of the steps have been implemented and completed completely.

There was some reworking involved to make the Combined Sewer Overflow Power Generation

projectmore interesting, thorough, and appealing. The project also included soliciting any

relevant comments that may be available and ensuring that the proposed concept is well-planned

and visually appealing. This is vital because it allows you to put the finishing touches on the

entire research proposal and ensure that everything is in place, in the proper order, and with a

thorough knowledge.

The goal for Combined Sewer Overflow Power Generation project was to Review

methods of electrical power generation at a CSO location: light, kinetic movement of sewerage,

and the project was to conduct research and develop extra materials to supplement the already-

developed training program. Several diagrams were utilized in this part, including Generation of

sewage power diagram and Hydro power and storage diagram (Springer, 2012).

13

Future Focus

Generation of sewage power diagram represents a Hydro power which a very efficient

source of renewable energy. Hydropower systems are very efficient because of the density of

water, the force of gravity and the technological advantages of today. These systems can cover

up to 90% of the energy of water into electric energy, which is an astonishing number. Since

hydro power is fueled by water, it has the advantage of being only used when needed, because it

is easy to control the storage and allowable flow of water into a hydropower system.

14

Conclusion

Combined Sewer Overflow Power Generation project presents a range of electric power

solutions including serving the function of a receiver and collects the wastewater from the

primary treatment unit, allowing the collected wastewater to get purified to some extent thus

allowing non-harmful water to infiltrate into the ground and lastly helping in the recharge of

groundwater. Since hydro power is fueled by water, it has the advantage of being only used when

needed, because it is easy to control the storage and allowable flow of water into a hydropower

system. Hydro power has an advantage over wind power because water is more dense than air, so

collecting the mechanical energy of wind requires a greater force of wind to rotate the turbine

than it would for water in a hydropower system. I manage to gain a great deal of knowledge and

experience. A number of sophisticated processes in the Knowledge Base educate me how to cope

with various types of situations, as well as how to operate in a difficult circumstance. I also

managed to get more insights on how to handle project majorly in groups. Participating in groups

helped me to gain more courage and work perfectly in a group setting.
