Abstract

Electric energy is the main driver of various daily activities, both to increase productivity as well as to improve life quality. Energy demand is continuously increasing in parallel to the progress in technology and population growth. Depletion of fossil energy sources and awareness of environmental protection make people resort to renewable energy sources like solar energy. Low efficiency and intermittent characteristic of solar energy may originate from the sun movement along the day as well as the year. Efforts have always been tried to deal with the drawbacks. This paper proposes a computer-based tracking system to fully monitor and control a solar panel movement. The designed system has proven a good performance of working at certain time intervals, either hourly, or even continuously, as desired. Energy yield improvement has been achieved by processing the tracking results with the help of a microcontroller to optimize the power generation of the solar panel.

Abstract

Modified optical sensor based on dye-sensittized solar cell has been successfully fabricated to measure the number of light energy. The electric parameters as the sensor output were achieved from the light illuminance as the sensor input. The measured parameter from optical sensor according to the voltage and current output have been characterized to obtain the sensor performance. In this research, the modified sensor is customized from dye-sensitized solar cell with extracted tobacco chlorophyll dye as the photo-catalysator, photo-electrode of titanium dioxide and Iodine solution for redox reaction. The thick layer deposition with selected material is conducted using spin coating method of 1000 rpm. Based on the absorbance measurement, it shows that tobacco dye has the characteristics of visible light absorption in the wavelength of visible light spectra. The analytical result shows that the sensor has the wide linear characteristic in certain light illuminance and the increasing light intensity produces higher electrical parameter output both current and voltage. This sensor has potential prospect to be used as a light sensor and to be competitive fabrication cost.

Abstract

In this paper, the analytical approach of MOS transistor mismatch effect on common-mode gain of cross-coupled amplifier is presented. Transconductance (MOS transistor parameter) mismatch effect on common-mode gain of cross-coupled amplifier was analyzed. This study was started with mathematical derivation for representing the mismatch effect of transconductance between 2 differential pairs of crosscoupled amplifier due to common-mode voltage. The derivation result was simulated based on Monte Carlo simulation with random transconductance mismatch rate from 0.05% until 1%. The common-mode gain increases 36.9 dB and average common-mode gain is -81.1 dB. The transconductance mismatch rate increases followed by increase in common-mode gain. The results can be used by circuit designers to design analog circuits, especially operational amplifier used for biosignals processing to minimize the common-mode gain of their circuits. This research presents aid to circuit designers to improve their circuits performance.

Abstract

Vehicles technology have been a priority area of research over the last few decades. With the increasing the use of electronic components in the automotive industry to measure conditions around the vehicle, the focus of automotive technology development is now leading to the development of active technology. Information on the speed of conventional vehicles is generally still obtained based on the rotation of the wheel, but there are weakness in the system that is the diference between wheel and road through vehicle also changes wheel radius of the vehicle due to wind tube air preasure that can change at any time. In this research used Inertial Measuring Unit (IMU) 6 axis (accelerometer and gyroscope) which have been done filtering by using Kalman filter in order to make output sensor value more stable, results obtained at the test of 0 m/s had an RMS error of 0.8696 m/s when elevation is +450; 0.0393 m/s when elevation is 00; and 0.3030 m/s when elevation is -450. this research is expected to be an exploration for the development of a decent system that is suitable to be used as vehicle speed estimator which is as reliable as it is by using an existing speedometer on a ground vehicle generally regardless of slippage and changes in wind capacity on wheels.

Abstract

In photovoltaic system, solar energy is not able to be directly utilized to the grid. This is because the the generated output voltage from solar array are fluctuating depends on the environmental condition, such as the intensity of solar irradiance and temperature. Any changes from those variables will affect the generated output voltage. Boost converter is one type of power converter that is able to regulate the output voltage of solar array to dc grid. However, the dynamics of boost converter is nonlinear and non-minimum phase. Therefore, it requires an appropriate control method that can force the output voltage follows the desired reference voltage, by considering the fluctuation of environmental conditions and loads. To reduce the number of sensors and cost investment, nonlinear observer technique is employed to estimate the input voltage and load variations. By considering this problem, this paper is aimed at designing nonlinear observer based on adaptive sliding mode control with PI sliding surface for boost converter. The stability of proposed system is investigated through analytical and simulation proof. As comparison with PID controller, the performance of proposed system has produced Integral Absolute Error (IAE) about 7 times smaller than PID controller when it is tested under various conditions.

Abstract

A well-prepared Radio over Fiber (RoF) is a technology that combines two transmission technologies, radio and optical fiber transmissions. The study focused on the characteristics and problems of the optical fiber medium. One of the problems in the optical fiber is the effect of nonlinear characteristic, which caused by the high light intensity in the optical fiber core with extended interaction area in a single mode fiber (SMF). This characteristic reduces the output width and creates a pulse broadening. The nonlinear characteristics discussed in this study focused on SPM (self-phase modulation) and GVD (Group Velocity Dispersion). To overcome the nonlinear problems, this study presented a method to make the noise-resistant transmitted signal and improve the optical fiber power range. The fundamental of this study was developing similarities of previous studies regarding nonlinearity in the optical fiber. The results show that the use of two modulators combined with the amplification generated the signal with smoother spectrum, which means that the spectrum distribution was more uniform. There was 61.5 % increase of the peak power of the output signal after amplification using an optical amplifier.

Abstract

Natural dye-sensitized solar cells (DSSC) have gained so much attention in recent years due to its low-cost fabrication process, ease of fabrication, and environmentally friendly. In order to improve the DSSC performance, the absorbance spectral of dyes must reach the maximum visible spectrum values. The combination of two dyes with different absorbance spectra can be utilized to expand the absorbance spectral. Here, we demonstrated the combination of natural chlorophyll and anthocyanin dyes from cassava leaves and black sticky rice, respectively, to enhance the DSSC performance. Our findings provide insights for increasing the DSSC performance by varying the combination of natural dyes. The highest efficiency was obtained from Chlorophyll:Anthocyanin 3:1.
