Abstract

Capacitor bank is a collection of power tools in the form of a capacitor that serves as a tool that can reduce or improve reactive power into the power grid. The load on the electricity network in general is an inductive load. If the average power factor (cos ϴ) is less than 0.85, the State Electricity Company will provide the reactive power in KVAR fines usage charges on customers. An effort should be done to reduce the reactive power. An installation of bank capacitor is suitable to be implemented in an industry AC loads. It will reduce the reactive power and improve the power factor. In the case of 380 V, 50 Hz, 500 kW AC loads are improved the power factor from 0.7 to 0.93 using genetic algorithm, thus the AC loads current and reactive power will be decreased. It is suitable that the AC loads current is inversely proportional to the power factor, and the reactive power is proportional to the AC loads current.

Abstract

 The low conversion energy efficiency of solar panel is affected by the several environmental issues. Solar radiation, ambient temperature, dust accumulation and wind velocity are the environmental problems. This main goal of this paper is to understanding the solar panel behavior under varying of wind velocity amounts. A three-dimension (3-D) model of solar panel is conducted in the present investigation. The solar panel model is simulated under given operating condition and different amounts of wind velocity. Four different of wind velocity value of 0 m/s, 0.43 m/s, 2.5 m/s and 6.95 m/s was selected to examine the solar panel performance. The simulation results are obtained with ANSYS simulation software. The temperature distribution of the solar panel model will be discussed in this current paper. The simulation result is showed highest wind velocity can be provided good cooling effect for the solar panel model in order to enable the solar panel can be operated to perform well at lower temperature.

Abstract

This paper presented a new topology of three-level single phase transformerless photovoltaic inverter (TPVI). It consisted of three main circuits; they were a pulse driver circuit, a full bridge inverter circuit and a power factor correction (PFC) circuit that had functions as production of pulse waves, to develop alternating current (AC) waveform and to stabilize voltage of photovoltaic (PV) array, respectively.  In this research, AC three-level waveform single phase TPVI was developed and created by a microcontroller PIC16F627A-I/P with varied maximum voltage angle from 200 to 1800 and observed on 28th February 2014 between  9.00  am to 17.00 pm, and also analyzed effect of maximum voltage angle on the three-level single phase TPVI performance.  The result showed that maximum voltage angles of the TPVI effected on root mean square value of AC voltage, current and power. If the maximum voltage angle was increased, therefore value of the AC voltage, current and power would increase. The maximum voltage angle would effect on the current total harmonic distortion (CTHD), the lowest CTHD of 15.448% was obtained when the maximum voltage angle was 1340

Abstract

Hibiscus Sabdariffa L. well known as Roselle flower was used as sensitizers for Dye-Sensitized Solar Cell (DSSC). The dyes were extracted using distilled water (DI) and ethanol (E) extract solvent in an ultrasonic cleaner for 30 minutes with a frequency of 37 Hz by using ‘degas’ mode at the temperature of 30°. Doctor blade method was applied in the fabrication of titanium dioxide (TiO2) on ITO glass. Absorption spectra of Roselle dye with different extract solvent were tested using Evolution 201 UV-Vis Spectrophotometer. Fourier-Transform Infrared (FTIR) was used to identify the functional active group in extract dye. Based on FTIR result, the broad absorption at peak 2889 cm-1, 2976 cm-1, and 3366 cm-1 attributed to the O-H stretching which is the presence of hydroxyl group. The use Field Emission Scanning Electron Microscopy (FESEM) and Energy-Dispersive Spectroscopy (EDS) analysis are to characterize the surface morphology and element in the TiO2 thin film.
