Abstract

Step-up converter is widely used to increase DC voltage level on PV systems either off-grid or grid connected. One of the step-up converters often used in PV systems is SEPIC converter. To improve its performance, many SEPIC converters have been modified. However, performance on various conditions has not been further investigated. In this study, the modified SEPIC converter was investigated under various change conditions for grid-connected PV applications. This converter was modelled and simulated using PSIM software. The modified SEPIC converter received input from PV array 15 kWp, and its output was connected to the three-phase inverter with grid and load. The irradiance level and ambient temperature were varied to test its performance and compared to Boost converter and SEPIC converter. For all tests, the performance of modified SEPIC converter was better than other step-up converters because it was able to rectify the quality of output voltage and more efficient.

Abstract

Yogurt, a globally cherished dairy product, is celebrated not only for its creamy texture and tangy flavour but also for its numerous health benefits, primarily attributed to lactic acid bacteria (LAB). Key LAB species such as Lactobacillus bulgaricus and Streptococcus thermophilus drive the fermentation process, transforming milk into yogurt through lactic acid production. This study aims to isolate and identify LAB species from various yogurt brands using the 16S rRNA gene, employing advanced microbial analysis techniques such as PCR. Yogurt samples from five different brands were collected from a local convenience store in Gunungpati, Central Java, Indonesia. The bacterial inoculation was carried out using MRS agar, and isolated colonies were subjected to direct colony PCR with primers 27f and 1492r. The PCR products were analyzed using agarose gel electrophoresis. The results demonstrated that direct colony PCR is an effective technique for rapidly and accurately detecting bacterial species without the need for DNA extraction. All five yogurt samples contained Lactobacillus sp., as evidenced by the amplification of DNA fragments approximately 1500 base pairs in size. This study confirms the specificity and effectiveness of the 27f/1492r primers in identifying Lactobacillus sp., providing more information for further research on the probiotic roles of LAB in yogurt quality and health impacts.
