Abstract

Solar panels are the main component of solar power generation systems, and they function by converting solar energy into electrical energy. Indonesia has great potential for solar energy. Solar panels will work optimally at temperatures of 25 °C to 28 °C. The greater the temperature of the solar panel, the more power generated by the panel. The influence of solar radiation intensity can be caused by dust and animal droppings attached to the surface of the solar panel module. If the surface of a solar panel is covered with dust or dirt, which can block the entry of solar radiation, the resulting power output is not optimal. The aim of this research is to design and implement an automatic cleaning system for solar power plants. The system used is using ESP32 based on the Blynk application and adding internet of things (IoT) devices with a cleaning method using pumped water spraying, then assisted with wipers which have silicon rubber material to clean dust and dirt. Based on the cleaning optimization simulation calculations, we found that the optimal or efficient cleaning condition was once a month, with an efficiency of 75.17%.

Abstract

Solar energy has rapidly developed as a renewable energy source, but the aspects of Health, Safety, Environment, and Ergonomics (HSEE) in their operations have remained a concern. This study analysed the risks faced by workers and the environment at the Pantai Baru solar power plant using a risk analysis approach based on primary data from worker questionnaires and secondary data from literature reviews and field observations. The findings showed that the health aspect included heat stress such as prolonged under direct sunlight and exposure to toxic materials, these materials include heavy metals such as cadmium (Cd) and lead (Pb), which are commonly used in photovoltaic (PV) technology to enhance efficiency but are known to be carcinogenic and hazardous even at low doses. The safety aspect covered electrical hazards, fire hazards, and falling risks, all of which were exacerbated by suboptimal working conditions. From an environmental perspective, solar power plants caused ecosystem damage, required large land areas, and faced challenges in recycling solar panels and batteries. Ergonomic risks were also identified, but the questionnaire results indicated that musculoskeletal injuries were not a significant issue for solar power plant workers. This study concluded that most HSEE sub-variables were relevant to the risks associated with solar power plants, except for musculoskeletal injuries. Therefore, implementing risk mitigation strategies, improving workplace design, and enforcing stricter environmental policies were necessary to ensure safe, efficient, and sustainable solar power plant operations.

Abstract

A solar tracker is a combination of mechanical and electrical systems that can be used to move a solar panel to follow the sun's direction. This solar tracker system is expected to optimize the output power of photovoltaics. Based on existing research, many solar tracking systems have been developed using active tracking methods to increase the power consumption of the components of solar trackers. Therefore, a passive solar tracking system was used to reduce the solar tracker's internal energy consumption. In this study, a passive smart discrete solar tracker was designed with 3 positions and 5 tracking positions based on a fuzzy-ant colony controller (ACO). The design of a passive solar tracker based on a fuzzy-ACO has a performance index (average) with a rise time of 0.45 s, a settling time of 0.701 s, a maximum overshoot of 0.5%, and a steady-state error of 0.05%. From the design, the 3-position passive solar tracker with fuzzy-ACO control can increase efficiency with a gross energy gain of 42.79% for 10 hours compared to a fixed PV. The 5-position passive solar tracker using fuzzy-ACO control increased the efficiency with a gross energy gain of 43.99%.

Abstract

Solar energy is one of the most promising renewable energy sources that can support the sustainable energy transition. However, the electrical power produced by photovoltaic (PV) panels is greatly influenced by environmental conditions such as irradiation, temperature, humidity, and wind speed, making them volatile and difficult to predict. This study aims to develop a prediction model based on Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM) to estimate the power output of polycrystalline panels. Environmental data is collected in real-time, processed through the normalization stage, and then used as input in several model variants, namely pure LSTM, CNN-LSTM, LSTM-Autoencoder, and GWO-LSTM with metaheuristic optimization. Evaluation was conducted using R², RMSE, and MAPE metrics. The results showed that the pure LSTM model provided good accuracy (R² = 0.95; MAPE = 6.2%), while CNN-LSTM and LSTM-AE improved performance with R² reaching 0.97 and 0.96, respectively. The best model is GWO-LSTM, with R² = 0.98, RMSE = 0.31 kW, and MAPE = 4.3%. These findings prove that metaheuristic optimization in LSTM can increase the reliability of PV power prediction and support a more efficient energy management system.

Abstract

The location of Indonesia which, is crossed by the equator, makes it rich in sunlight. Photovoltaic (PV) can convert solar energy into electrical energy. The Solar Tracker system can maximize the absorption of solar energy that enters the PV. The condition of the Indonesian archipelago also has the potential for ocean wave energy. The Hydrostatic transmission-based Wave Energy Converter system can convert ocean wave energy into electrical energy. This research combines two energies, namely solar energy and ocean waves. The importance of combining these two renewable energies is due to the non-continuous nature of solar energy, therefore combined with the ocean wave energy to maximize the energy produced. A type-2 fuzzy logic control system based on Bacterial Foraging Optimization (BFO) is applied to each converter, summing each converter that has been optimizing. Optimize error and delta error on the solar tracker system and fuzzy logic waveform-based sea-wave type-2 system. The fuzzy boundaries are then optimized using the BFO optimization method. Fuzzy type-2 based on BFO in solar tracking system can increase energy by 67.9% with the best performance at FOU ±0.1. BFO-based type-2 fuzzy control can stabilize the output of the ocean wave conversion system and produce average energy of 34.48 Wh. This research can increase the energy in the system after being optimized using BFO by 19.3%.

Abstract

Electrical energy at this time is widely used by most humans, of course also disturbances in the distribution of electricity cause inhibition of daily human activities. Disturbances that occur can be classified into various kinds, one example is Undervoltage and overvoltage. Of course, these disturbances can arise when the use of electrical loads that are sensitive to damage. To secure electrical loads that are sensitive to damage, a control system is made overvoltage and undervoltage using a microcontroller Arduino Mega and the actuator is a relay. This research tries to solve the problem of over voltage, under voltage, and unbalanced voltage with a visual basic-based voltage protection system. This system research uses visual basic as an interface and as a data logger to facilitate operators in analyzing disturbances, and with the help of the Arduino Mega2560 microcontroller which can be used to process and send data to the visual base. Thus, this research is expected to help users to e easily monitor and analyze disturbances.

Abstract

Photovoltaic (PV) is a device that has the ability to convert solar energy into electrical energy. The most popular way to improve performance in PV is to add solar tracker technology. There are 2 solar tracker methods, namely passive and active, in this study focuses on the passive method where the slope angle of the PV is calculated using astronomical calculations. The difference in previous research is that the PV tilt angle can be adjusted via cellphone, it has a function if the Tracker system is damaged it can be replaced first using this system. In this study, the INA219 sensor is used to measure the current, voltage, and power at the PV output, and the GY52MPU 6050 sensor is used to measure the PV slope. The results obtained from this study are the accuracy value of the INA219 sensor is 98.67% for power and 97.67% for current and there is an error of 1.33% for power and an error of 2.33% for current values. There is also an accuracy value of the GY52MPU6050 sensor which is 99.6% and an error of 0.4%. IoT is also carried out where if the current value is greater, the delay that occurs is also higher. There is also an increase in performance between fixed-based and tracker by 21% in sunny conditions, and 15% in cloudy conditions.
