Abstract

One type of alternative fuel that has the potential to be developed and can contribute significantly to the NRE mix is biomass. The significance of the energy mix is obtained from the use of the co-firing system at the Coal-Fired Power Plant (CFPP) by mixing coal fuel with biomass such as sawdust. Sawdust biomass as cofiring material for CFPP is very efficient because it has energy content and availability that is easy to manage. The aim of this research is to make technical and economic analysis of sawdust biomass as solid fuel for pulverized coal CFPP Co-firing type boiler. The research stages are mapping the potential of sawdust biomass to determine the availability of potential biomass around the location of the co-firing, analyze the technical side and specifications contained in sawdust biomass raw materials to determine the suitability or feasibility of pulverized coal type CFPP specifications, and analyze the economic feasibility of developing sawdust biomass processing technology to determine the cost of production of sawdust biomass so that later it will not have a technical and financial impact. The results of the economic analysis show that the sawdust biomass production business is feasible with NPV parameters > IDR 5,252,097,371, IRR=11.1% and payback period=7.7 years. Provided that if the PLTU Rembang buys biomass at a price of Rp. 862,730/Ton. Sensitivity analysis is used to determine the steps to optimize the adjustment of the ability to purchase biomass from CFPP Rembang where the reference limit for the highest reference price for biomass is IDR 782,006. Efforts that can be made to adjust the ability to purchase biomass from the CFPP Rembang include increasing the yield by 20% or reducing the price of wood by 20%.

Abstract

Optical fiber is a telecommunications transmission medium that has a large bandwidth and bit rate so that it can meet the needs of today's data services with great reliability and efficiency. Optical fiber applications continue to be broad and have included seabed networks, terrestrial networks, metropolitan and regional scope networks, and small-scale networks. Optical fiber communication systems have 2 factors that affect the quality of network performance, namely internal aspects and external aspects. These internal and external aspects can degrade the performance quality of the optical fiber used and can cause attenuation and other transmission losses. As an effort to prevent sudden and significant deterioration in the quality of a network, it is necessary to try regular maintenance activities such as scheduled fiber optic cable network service quality measurements. These maintenance activities can help ensure network capacity increase decisions. One of the quality of service parameters that is often measured is transmission attenuation and received signal energy (received power). This research examines increasing the bandwidth capacity of PT PLN ICON PLUS in the Central Sumatra region during a network anomaly, namely a slow internet connection in the Rayon Panam Cluster. The sample taken from one of the customers shows the results of measuring the internet speed of 4-5 Mbps only, while the service taken is 10 Mbps. The results of checking on the up-link side to OLT Rayon Panam found that the data output was close to its capacity, which was 940,919,000 bits/sec or 0.9 Gb/sec. Increasing bandwidth capacity is done by moving the OLT port on the up-link side from the gigabit ethernet port to the tengigabit ethernet port, then replacing the SR type SFP with SFP ER and adding fiber optic attenuators so that the speed test results on the customer side have returned to their original appearance., 10 Mbps.

Abstract

The rapid expansion of the electric vehicle (EV) market presents a paradox: while increasing production and lowering costs are essential for widespread adoption, these efforts also intensify the environmental and social impacts, particularly in lithium-ion (Li-ion) battery production. Comprehensive sustainability assessments are needed across all stages of battery production. This review employed the ROSES framework to analyze 40 Scopus-indexed research papers systematically. Extracted indicators are categorized by the STEEP (Sociocultural, Technological, Economic, Environmental, and Political-Legal) dimensions. The dual approach identifies critical sustainability gaps and examines the interplay between these dimensions. By mapping each indicator to a specific lifecycle stage—ranging from raw material extraction to end-of-life disposal—the review highlights critical stages for improving sustainability in EV battery production. The study uncovers complex relationships between sustainability factors and establishes a comprehensive framework to address these challenges. As a result, it provides policymakers, industry leaders, and researchers with a solid foundation for developing informed strategies to enhance the sustainability of EV battery production.

Abstract

Background: Oil and gas facilities operating in Hazardous Zone 2 require reliable lightning protection, grounding, bonding, and surge protection systems to ensure electrical safety, protect personnel and equipment, and maintain operational continuity under potential flammable conditions. Objective: This study aims to evaluate the overall performance of the lightning protection and grounding systems in a Hazardous Zone 2 oil and gas facility based on field testing, technical assessment, and grounding system modeling. Methods: The research methods consisted of soil resistivity measurement using the Wenner four-point method, grounding resistance testing using the fall-of-potential method, continuity testing of grounding and bonding connections using the four-wire Kelvin method, lightning risk assessment based on IEC 62305-2024, evaluation of the existing lightning protection layout using the rolling sphere method, and grounding system verification using WinIGS software based on IEEE Std 80. Field testing was conducted on grounding rods, grounding rings, busbars, air terminals, down conductors, grounding cables, control panels, and other bonding components within the oil and gas facility. Results: The measurement results showed that the average combined soil resistivity value was 4.98 Ω·m with a two-layer soil model. The results of the grounding resistance test showed that most of the grounding points still met the ideal limits with a value range of 0.410 Ω to 1.580 Ω. However, one grounding point was found to be in a rejected condition and required repair. Conclusion: This study demonstrates that evaluating grounding and lightning protection systems in hazardous areas requires an integrated approach, considering grounding resistance, soil resistivity, bonding continuity, physical grounding conditions, lightning protection, and grounding system simulations.

Abstract

IoT-based monitoring systems often rely on batteries as their main power source; however, continuous data acquisition and transmission can accelerate battery voltage drop, thereby reducing operational lifespan. This research analyzes the effect of an Internet of Things (IoT)-based monitoring system on the voltage drop rate of 18650 Li-ion batteries, and compares the characteristics of voltage drop in deep-sleep and non-deep-sleep operating modes using a comparative quantitative experimental approach. The ESP32-based monitoring system was tested under three operating conditions: baseline (without a monitoring system), deep-sleep, and non-deep-sleep. Battery voltage measurements were carried out periodically over a predetermined observation duration. The results show that the IoT monitoring system affects the characteristics of battery voltage drop, and that different device operating modes result in different voltage drop rates. The non-deep-sleep condition exhibits the fastest voltage drop, while the deep-sleep strategy is able to reduce the rate of voltage drop more effectively than continuous operation. These findings indicate that the deep-sleep strategy contributes to improved energy efficiency in battery-based monitoring systems and may represent a more appropriate approach to slowing the rate of battery discharge, supporting the development of more energy-efficient and reliable IoT systems.

Abstract

This study presents a low-cost environmental chamber designed to replicate tropical temperature and humidity conditions for calendar-aging studies of LiFePO₄ lithium iron phosphate (LFP) cells. The system integrates passive insulation with an Arduino-based active control system for real-time monitoring. The design’s novelty lies in its cost-effective ability to maintain tropical-specific profiles, validated against Meteorology, Climatology, and Geophysics Agency (BMKG) meteorological data to ensure correlation with diurnal cycles. Experimental results demonstrate stable operation for 13 consecutive days, with an average temperature of 29.47 °C and a stability metric of ±0.61 °C, keeping 100% of data within the 25–35 °C target. Although relative humidity (RH) showed an average of 76.52%, its stability was quantified by a 96.98% success rate in maintaining the 70–80% target range. The chamber’s suitability for long-term degradation studies was confirmed via a one-month calendar-aging test on a 15 Ah LFP cell, where tha battery capacity decreased from 100% to 99.58%. These results demonstrate that the proposed chamber reliably maintains tropical environmental conditions and is suitable for long-term, low-cost battery aging studies.

Abstract

The transition to sustainable transportation is critical to global efforts to mitigate climate change and reduce environmental degradation. Life cycle assessment (LCA) provides a comprehensive framework for evaluating the environmental impacts of various vehicle technologies throughout their entire life cycle. Numerous studies have applied cradle-to-gate, cradle-to-wheel, and cradle-to-grave approaches. However, increasing material waste from vehicles and batteries is expected to become a significant environmental challenge due to intensive mining and resource extraction activities. To address this issue, the cradle-to-cradle approach is proposed to mitigate environmental impacts during the end-of-life phase through material recycling and recovery. This study examines manufacturing, operational, and end-of-life phases across various vehicle technologies. Unlike traditional cradle-to-grave assessments, the cradle-to-cradle approach promotes resource circularity by integrating material reuse and recycling into the evaluation process, thereby minimizing waste and optimizing resource efficiency. The analysis identifies critical indicators, including energy consumption, air quality, and greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. Although electric vehicles (EVs) significantly reduce operational emissions, they present challenges related to battery material extraction and end-of-life management. By incorporating cradle-to-cradle principles, this study highlights strategies to enhance material recovery and reusability, particularly for battery components and lightweight materials. Furthermore, this research underscores the importance of adopting renewable energy sources and circular economy principles in the transportation sector to achieve sustainability goals. Policy recommendations include strengthening recycling infrastructure, incentivizing eco-friendly vehicle design, and fostering cross-sector collaboration. The findings contribute to a deeper understanding of sustainable vehicle technology pathways and provide a framework for reducing environmental impacts while meeting growing transportation demands.
