Abstract

Indonesia's social and political landscape necessitates a balanced distribution of development and a restructuring of its population and industries. In response, the government has relocated the capital from Jakarta to Ibu Kota Nusantara (IKN) in East Kalimantan, aiming to alleviate the pressures on the central city. Given the region's abundant solar energy resources, this paper explores the potential for investing in solar energy systems within government buildings to align with the innovative city initiative. The study employs the Hybrid Optimization Model for Electric Renewables (HOMER) to evaluate the feasibility of the government's solar energy plan. This simulation tool analyzes investment costs, energy generation potential, and economic viability. The HOMER configuration includes solar panels, batteries, and an inverter integrated with the on-grid electrical system, tailored to meet government building requirements. Simulation results indicate that the proposed model can generate approximately 828,980 kWh annually, with a total energy consumption of around 643,257 kWh. The estimated investment cost is IDR 20,581,290,000, with a production cost of IDR 1,407.11 per kWh and a net payback period of about seven years. This analysis suggests that solar energy systems are well-positioned to thrive in IKN's emerging business environment.

Abstract

The development of Vertical Axis Wind Turbines (VAWTs) has become a key focus in renewable energy utilization due to their ability to operate at low wind speeds and their simple design. This study aims to analyze the effects of inlet velocity variations and fluid physical properties on flow patterns, turbulence, and kinetic energy in VAWTs. The simulation was conducted using the Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) method, based on ANSYS Fluent, for a 2D turbine model with a diameter of 12 cm. Inlet velocity variations of 10, 11, 12, 13, and 14 m/s were tested using three types of fluids: air, helium, and hydrogen. The results show that increasing inlet velocity transforms the flow pattern from stable to complex, with greater turbulence forming behind the cylinder. Air exhibited the highest kinetic energy at low to medium velocities, ranging from 10 to 12 m/s, which was up to 24.7% higher than that of helium and 3.8% higher than that of hydrogen. At higher velocities, 13–14 m/s, the kinetic energy difference among the three fluids decreased to less than 1.5%. Furthermore, outlet velocity was consistently higher than inlet velocity for all fluids, with hydrogen achieving the highest acceleration at 14 m/s.

Abstract

This study examines the impact of a heatsink-based cooling system, combined with forced airflow, on the thermal and electrical performance of a photovoltaic (PV) module under controlled irradiance conditions provided by a solar simulator. The cooling configuration employed is energy-efficient and straightforward, utilizing active convection enhanced by a blower in selected trials. Two primary conditions were compared: PV without cooling and PV with different cooling configurations. The experimental results indicate that the PV + Heatsink + Blower configuration achieved the highest average electrical efficiency of 13.43%, whereas the PV Only configuration recorded the lowest, 12.45%. This difference demonstrates that temperature regulation through a combination of heatsink and assisted airflow significantly improves electrical energy conversion. Furthermore, maintaining a lower, more stable operating temperature contributes to consistent power output and reduces heat accumulation, which can accelerate performance degradation. Overall, the findings suggest that integrating a low-energy, straightforward cooling design can be an effective strategy to enhance PV performance, particularly in testing environments that use a solar simulator.

Abstract

The primary objective of this research is to evaluate the feasibility and potential benefits of integrating solar Photovoltaic (PV) systems in educational institutions within the new capital. The Hybrid Optimization of Multiple Energy Resources (HOMER) energy modeling software was utilized to achieve this, enabling a detailed analysis of the project's viability for investment over a specified timeframe. Key metrics such as Net Present Cost (NPC), Cost of Energy (COE), and Break-Even Point (BEP) were emphasized to assess the economic implications of the project. The findings of the research reveal that the rooftop solar PV system for schools in Ibu Kota Nusantara (IKN) has NPC of IDR 15,865,110,000.00, COE of IDR 1,174.26 per kWh, and a BEP occurring in the sixteenth year, as indicated by the simulation results. These outcomes suggest that the rooftop solar PV project is not only a viable solution but also holds significant potential for development. Furthermore, it supports the overarching goals of the capital relocation program while promoting the adoption of renewable energy sources in Indonesia, thereby contributing to a more sustainable future for the nation.

Abstract

This study investigates the aerodynamic behavior of a cricket ball at various velocities using Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) in ANSYS Fluent, focusing on the effects of speed and surface modifications on aerodynamic forces and pressure distribution. The cricket ball geometry was simplified by replacing the seam with a protruding flat surface. Simulations were performed at airflow velocities of 20, 30, and 40 m/s using the realizable k-ε turbulence model, with air properties set to a density of 1.225 kg/m³ and dynamic viscosity of 1.81×10-⁵ Pa-s. At 20 m/s, the inlet and outlet mass flow rates were 50.306891 kg/s and -50.306901 kg/s, with a net imbalance of        -9.3×10-⁶ kg/s, generating a drag force of 0.5 N, a lift force of 0.2 N, and a pressure difference of 50 Pa. At 30 m/s, the inlet and outlet rates were 75.460373 kg/s and -75.464958 kg/s, respectively, resulting in a net imbalance of -0.004585 kg/s. The flow was fully turbulent, producing a drag force of 3.5 N, a lift force of 1.5 N, and a pressure difference of 250 Pa. Increasing velocity boosts drag, lift, and pressure differences. At the same time, the flat surface enhances asymmetry, vortices, and swing at higher speeds.
