Abstract

Abstract— Steam Power Plants are classified as thermal plants that convert chemical energy in fuel into electrical energy. In an effort to increase the effectiveness of the work of the plant, there needs to be proper planning for its operations, this is important because it directly affects the operational costs incurred by the plant. This journal aims to determine the effect of changes in load or variations in generator loading on power plant performance, both efficiency, heat rate and production costs of electricity generation and to identify the magnitude of the decline in the thermal performance of the generator, as well as determine the causes and parts of the plant whose performance level decreases compared to optimal conditions. The method used to calculate the efficiency and heat rate is the “Direct Method”, namely by directly comparing the input energy with the electrical output produced. The data used in this study is the “Power Plant Performance Test” data. The results of this study get the most optimal conditions when loading 93.39 MW Net with efficiency 34.693%, heat rate 2475,445 kcal/kWh and electricity production costs 413,297 Rp/kWh. The conclusion of this study is that plant performance is getting better at high loads. Keywords: Thermal efficiency, Heat Rate, Electricity Production Cost, and Steam Power Plant

Abstract

RF Energy harvesting adalah sebuah teknologi memanen ambient energi dari peralatan yang wearable. Salah satu peralatan wearable yang dapat bertindak sebagai sumber adalah end device LoRa. LoRa (Long Range Accesss) adalah bagian dari Low Power Area Network (LPWAN) yang beroperasi pada unlicensed frequency (ISM). Sebagai sebuah teknologi nirkabel, end device LoRa akan ditempatkan pada area remote yang sulit untuk diakses. End device LoRa bertindak sebagai transceiver yang mengirimkan data dan juga menerima data dari gateway. Sebagai sebuah transceiver, end device LoRa membutuhkan ketersediaan energi. Pada remote area, RF ambient energy dari end device LoRa dapat dimanfaatkan sebagai sumber energi RF yang dapat dipanen dan disimpan. Paper ini mendiskusikan tentang bagaimana memanen energi ambient RF yang dipancarkan oleh end device LoRa menggunakan antena mikrostrip sebagai penangkap energi dan menambahkan sebuah rangkaian voltage multiplier sebagai penyearah sekaligus pengali tegangan. Berdasarkan hasil uji yang telah dilakukan, energi yang dipanen dari satu end device dan tersimpan sementara di kapasitor adalah sebesar163 pJ dengan jarak 11 cm dari sumber. Energi yang dipanen ini dapat disimpan pada baterai atau capasitor bank untuk digunakan dimasa mendatang

Abstract

The 3-phase induction motor is an electric motor with a strong, reliable, and easy-to-operate construction, and it is cheaper compared to other types of electric motors, making it widely used by the public. Although this motor is considered reliable, it still has some drawbacks, such as low performance, including starting torque, power factor, and efficiency compared to other types of electric motors. Therefore, research to improve the performance of this motor is ongoing. This paper aims to outline some methods that have been used by previous researchers to improve the performance of induction motors based on literature studies. Some of the methods discussed in this paper include the use of permanent magnets on the rotor, operating the 3-phase induction motor on a single-phase system, developing ferromagnetic materials for the motor, increasing the number of coil phases, and optimizing coil design in the motor. The advantages and disadvantages of using these methods to improve motor performance are briefly outlined.

Abstract

The need for electrical energy in the public building sector is quite dominant, reaching 33-40% of the total energy consumption of all sectors. To control electrical energy in buildings effectively, an Energy Management System (EMS) is needed. EMS stage consists of Plan-Do-Check-Act (PDCA). The study conducted in this research is on how to use the PDCA cycle method to model the consumption of electrical energy in campus buildings in a sustainable manner. Modeling of energy-efficient electrical loads is formed in several ways: modeling by replacing T8 fluorescent lamps and CFLs with LED, modeling by replacing non-inverter AC with inverter AC, modeling by the number of library visitors, modeling by improving the power factor, and finally, modeling with a combination of the four previous models. Modeling using LEDs results in savings of 1,464 kWh per month; inverter AC modeling saves 1742 kWh per month; modeling by adjusting the number of visitors saves 857 kWh per month; and modeling by improving the power factor saves 56 kWh per month. This electrical load modeling can save up to 8 kW of power outside of the library's operating hours. Meanwhile, during operational hours, the modeling library can save up to 30 kW of electric power

Abstract

The building sector consumes about 30% of the world's primary energy demand. Conventionally, reducing building energy consumption is done through energy saving or energy conservation activities. Nearly zero energy building (nZEB) itself can be defined as a provision that implies a value of energy consumption that is as low as possible or an energy-efficient building, then determines the energy source that is able to meet these energy needs. These strategies can generally be done with passive design, active design, and comprehensive energy management approaches [6]. This article presents an overview of the implementation of nZEB and finds out the shortcomings in terms of strategies and techniques used for different types of buildings and climates. Given the differences in climate and building characteristics, we found that each region has different challenges in applying the nZEB concept.

Abstract

Our research is introducing a lighting system using dimming lamps to utilize natural sunlight to save electrical energy in campus buildings. It began with designing an LED light-dimming system using AC chopper technology. It was tested in library rooms in campus buildings. Its room is divided into three zones (A, B, C) based on the intensity of natural light reaching the room and the location of the work points. We analyzed the influence of the environment around the research object, including the location of work points, weather conditions, the position of the sun, and electrical energy saving in lighting systems using dimming LED lights in campus buildings. The test results show that implementing the proposed dimming system can reduce room electricity consumption by an average of 50.31% in good weather conditions. The location of the work point in the room dramatically influences the amount of this savings. For work point locations in zone C, these savings can reach 93.707%, while for work points in zone A, the savings are only 12.177%. The results show that the percentage of electricity consumption savings from the lighting system can be increased by increasing the natural light that reaches the room.
