Abstract

The pump starting current can be up to 500% to 800% higher than normal current. Besides raising the electricity bill, a very high current surge at starting can cause damage to other electronic components. This study aims to implement a soft starter that functions to reduce the electrical power required to start the pump up. To measure electrical variables while the pump is working, the PZEM-004t sensor is used as a voltage, current, and energy sensor. The sensor has been validated and has an accuracy of 99.63% for current measures and 99.87% for voltage measures. In addition, to increase the efficiency of agricultural yields, a monitoring system for soil moisture in the fields is also applied with pest control technology. The soil moisture sensor YL-69, which has been validated with an accuracy of 98.27% is used to measure soil moisture in agricultural land. Specifically, this monitoring system utilizes solar electricity, which is abundant in open areas, while the pump system still uses grid electricity. Those two systems are then integrated using an android application. The results of this study found that the use of a soft starter can reduce current up to 20.64% with a 3A motor and 15.32% with a 1.7A motor.

Abstract

The DC-DC converter is used to convert the DC voltage, and the conversion is carried out to increase or decrease the voltage. This paper discusses the modeling of a boost converter for charging high-capacity capacitors using PID control. PID control is used to overcome changing voltages and long times to steady-state due to capacitor changes. The boost converter has a 24 V input voltage and a 350 V output voltage. Boost converter modeling is performed by electrically reviewing the circuit and then converting the differential equation from the electrical analysis into a state space that depicts the characteristics of boost converter. The simulation was performed using MATLAB software. For the initial conditions, a simulation was carried out using the calculated critical capacitor value to determine whether the boost converter output voltage reached 350 V. Furthermore, when the boost converter was replaced with a 4700 uF capacitor, the boost converter experienced underdamp oscillations with a settling time of up to 9 s. Therefore, PID control was used to overcome oscillations and long settling times. The Ziegler–Nichols 2 and Routh–Hurwitz stability methods were used to determine the parameters Kp, Ki, and Kd. From the calculation results, the parameters Kp = 0.6, Ki = 21.39, and Kd = 0.0042 are obtained. The output voltage response still has a high undershoot when using the parameters obtained from Ziegler–Nichols 2 tuning, but it already has a fast-settling time. By fine-tuning the PID control, the values Kp = 2, Ki = 90, and Kd = 0.09 were obtained. With these values, the boost converter voltage response has an overshoot of 388 V, an undershoot of 312 V, and a settling time of 0.6 s at 351 V.
