Abstract

Increasingly extreme climate change has increased rainfall intensity and uncertainty of weather patterns in many parts of Indonesia, including Bengkulu City. This phenomenon affects rainfall patterns, the duration of the wet and dry seasons, and wind speed, all of which have an impact on various aspects of life. This study analyzes the effect of wind direction and speed on rainfall in Bengkulu City using the Schmidt-Fergusson, Wind Rose, and Multiple Linear Regression models, based on data from the Fatmawati Soekarno Bengkulu Meteorological Station in 2019-2023. The results of this study indicate that the dominant wind direction comes from the north, northeast, and southeast, with an average speed of 2.47 m/s, categorized as a weak wind according to the Beaufort scale. The highest annual rainfall was recorded in October 2022 at 600 mm. Based on the Schmidt-Fergusson classification, Bengkulu City is included in climate type A with a Q value = 0.1. Regression analysis shows that wind speed has a significant negative effect on rainfall indicating that wind speed has a negative effect, meaning that an increase in wind speed will cause a decrease in rainfall, while humidity has a positive effect, indicating that when air humidity increases, rainfall will also increase. The R² value of 32.7% indicates that the wind, temperature, pressure, and humidity variables explain some of the variation in rainfall. This finding emphasizes the importance of monitoring wind elements in the early warning system for extreme weather and supports hydrometeorological disaster risk mitigation planning in coastal areas vulnerable to climate change.

Abstract

The Global Positioning System (GPS) is an essential tool in land surveying. GPS has become an alternative method of surveying that requires less manpower and less time. However, GPS devices are still expensive to buy, especially for students. On the other hand, almost every student has a smartphone with a built-in GPS sensor, so this GPS is certainly accessible to everyone with a smartphone. This study used a smartphone's GPS to conduct land surveying at the campus of Bengkulu University. This smartphone’s GPS was used to track various parameters such as coordinates, elevation, and distance between two or more points to calculate the area within the study area. The innovative method of using the built-in GPS sensor in smartphones will provide convenience for users and introduce simplified open-source software for the land measurement process. The measurement was calibrated using a conventional roll meter to verify the linear error by comparing the two measurements between the smartphone’s GPS and roll meter. The smartphone’s GPS reading was logged using GPS Waypoints and My Tracks, free Android applications on the Google Play store. This study's average error in measurements obtained using GPS on smartphones was 3.02%. This value is sufficient for the initial stage of low-cost land surveys and falls within ideal conditions for GPS measurements. Therefore, this article emphasizes the potential of smartphone GPS to optimize techniques in education and scientific investigations.

Abstract

The design of turbine blades plays a crucial role in enhancing the efficiency of converting the kinetic energy of water into electrical energy, particularly on a small scale. This study aims to evaluate the influence of blade shape and number on turbine performance, as well as to compare the accuracy of voltage measurements using an INA219 sensor based on Arduino Uno with a digital multimeter. Four blade shapes were tested: cylindrical, semi-cylindrical, concave oval, and flat plate, each configured with 4 and 8 blades. Tests were conducted under three water flow rate conditions (low, medium, and high) to observe the optimization process of turbine performance. The results showed that the cylindrical blade with 8 blades produced the highest voltage of 1.03 V at high flow rate. The average measurement difference between the sensor and the multimeter was ±0.015 V, indicating good accuracy. These findings confirm that the cylindrical blade is the most efficient, and the INA219 sensor based on Arduino is suitable for use in micro-hydro turbine voltage monitoring systems.

Abstract

Pantai Lais mengalami perubahan garis pantai yang sangat cepat yang disebabkan abrasi dan sedimentasi. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengidentifikasi karakteristik dinamika angin dan  Longshore  Current, dan pemetaan perubahan garis pantai di segmen Pantai Lais.  Penelitian ini merupakan penelitian kuantitatif-deskriptif. Subjek penelitian mencakup data oseanografi seperti kecepatan dan arah Longshore  Current, kecepatan angin, serta tinggi dan periode gelombang laut yang diperoleh melalui pengukuran langsung di lima titik pengamatan pada dua musim peralihan. Data yang sudah diperoleh kemudian dianalisis secara deskriptif dan kuantitatif. Temuan penelitian menunjukan perubahan garis pantai di segmen Lais sangat dipengaruhi oleh dinamika angin dan Longshore  Current, dimana angin adalah faktor utama pembangkit gelombang. Ketinggian gelombang laut akan menimbulkan gelombang pecah yang merupakan penyebab terbentuknya Longshore  Current. Ketinggian gelombang laut dan kuatnya energi gelombang menghantam dinding pantai, mengakibatkan pinggir pantai terabrasi. Material terabrasi ini akan ikut terbawa oleh Longshore  Current   sesuai dengan arah gerak arus mengalir, yang kemudian akan menumpuk di daerah yang kecepatan aliran arus lemah atau mengecil, sehingga terjadi sedimentasi. Rata-rata sedimentasi selama 10 tahun terakhir sebesar 10,60 meter/tahun, dengan sedimentasi tertinggi terjadi tahun 2017 sebesar 29,05. Sedangkan rata-rata abrasi selama 10 tahun terakhir 13,03 meter/tahun, dengan abrasi tertinggi tahun 2015 sebesar 20,5 m. Penelitian ini berimplikasi dalam perencanaan zona pesisir, terutama dalam mitigasi erosi pesisir, perencanaan ruang pesisir, dan perlindungan pemukiman serta infrastruktur yang rentan terhadap abrasi.

Abstract

Keeping an interaction distance between 1 to 2 m is one of the health protocols during the COVID-19 pandemic. This attempt was made to reduce the spread of the Coronavirus. On the other hand, this health protocol activity is often overlooked, whether intentionally or not. According to the mechanism of the Coronavirus spreading in the form of droplets that comes out during communication, sneezing, or coughing, maintaining distance can be the best effort to minimize the transmission of this virus. Therefore, the availability of a simple, accurate and user-friendly physical distancing alarm system could be a solution in the implementation of this health protocol. In this study, a prototype of a physical distancing alarm based on a distance sensor and a microcontroller in the form of an identity card was developed. Several steps are conducted in developing of this system, namely designing the instrumentation system and testing the performance of the system. System performance is tested through variations in the distance and angle of the objects. The measurement results show that the system can detect objects in front of the sensor up to a distance of 2.8m and an angle of  for a distance of 1m. The measurement using different angles of objects was performed for objects on the left and right sides of the sensor. In addition, a warning alarm will be on when the distance of the object exceeds the allowed distance.

Abstract

In utilizing various alternative energy, generators are used to convert alternative energy into electrical energy, for example, biomass, wind, and hydroelectricity. Generally, the measurements made on the generators are rotational speed measurements in the form of revolutions per minute (RPM). In developing lab-scale alternative power sources, the availability of generators with complete quality and specifications is still minimal, including RPM capacity. Therefore, the measurement which can read the RPM accurately, digitally, and automatically is needed. However, the measurement tools available are still manual, not automatic, and prone to parallax errors. Hence, a digital and automatic RPM measurement was developed in this study. Two different sensors were used to develop digital RPM based on a microcontroller. The stages obtained started with electronic system development, calibration, and testing of lab-scale renewable energy systems. The measurement can be read from the infrared and optocoupler sensors on the Archimedes turbine. The measurement results showed that the use of the Optocoupler sensor is more accurate than the infrared sensor. This is based on the data obtained from calibration and testing results on the Archimedes turbine. This RPM measurement is digital and real-time.

Abstract

Rindu Hati Village, located in the Central Regency of Bengkulu, is one of the tourist villages in Bengkulu Province. This village has various natural tourist potentials such as waterfalls, expanses of plantations and rice fields, camping grounds, rafting, etc. However, access to electricity for this area is still very limited. It can be seen in the unavailability of streetlights on site, very limited lighting in tourist areas, etc. In fact, this area receives sunlight all day long throughout the year which can be applied for lighting using solar panels. The limited knowledge and skills of the community regarding the various variations of solar panel technology and the installation process are the reasons why this technology was not used. Therefore, in this service activity, various solar panel technologies were explained and training on their use, especially for tourism awareness groups in Rindu Hati village. This activity is divided into five stages, the first stage is exposure to the use of solar panel technology, followed by training on the installation of various forms of solar panels and the last stage installation solar panels for the lighting of the campsite. In addition, before and after the presentation and training, a questionnaire was handed out which aims to determine the public's knowledge of solar panel technology. The results of the questionnaire show that the public is already familiar with solar panels for producing electrical energy, but limitation in the form and variation. During the implementation of the activity, the community showed interest in using solar panels in their homes. In addition, this activity increases the knowledge and skills of the community in the use of solar energy by using solar panels for various purposes such as lighting and electricity for electronic devices in the household
