Abstract

Steam power plants are among the primary sources of electricity generation; however, they face significant challenges in terms of energy efficiency and environmental impact due to their high consumption of coal. Innovative strategies are required to reduce emissions and improve system efficiency. One potential approach is the reutilization of condenser cooling water to drive a hydropower turbine before being discharged into the sea. By harnessing the head and flow rate of this water, the kinetic energy from the waste stream can be converted into additional electricity. This study examines a process engineering approach to integrating a hydropower generation system with a steam power plant, encompassing technical analysis, energy efficiency, as well as economic and environmental impacts. Simulation results indicate that the system is capable of generating between 14.2 and 49.5 kW of power, depending on operating conditions and water availability. The electricity produced can be utilized for internal Steam power plant needs, such as cooling pumps and lighting, thereby reducing dependence on coal combustion. This strategy not only improves energy efficiency and reduces operational costs but also supports environmental conservation and the long-term sustainability of power plant operations.

Abstract

Building energy management systems (BEMS) are essential for enhancing energy efficiency and sustainability in buildings. This literature review analyzes BEMS research trends from 1982 to 2024, utilizing bibliometric analysis based on a dataset from Scopus. The study identifies key developments that influence all publications and emerging research topics in the field. While BEMS offers significant potential for real-time energy monitoring and control, challenges remain, including the need for standard protocols, improved cybersecurity, and cost-effective solutions for small buildings. This research highlights the importance of addressing these challenges to foster wider adoption of BEMS technology and contribute to a sustainable energy future. The findings aim to guide future research directions and enhance the implementation of BEMS in various building types.

Abstract

The rising demand for sustainable offshore oil and gas operations has accelerated the need for efficient, low-emission energy systems. Conventional fossil fuel-based systems significantly contribute to greenhouse gas emissions, underscoring the need for innovative alternatives. This study proposes and evaluates a hybrid energy system that integrates thermoelectric generators (TEGs) and photovoltaic (PV) panels to enhance energy efficiency, reduce emissions, and improve the sustainability of offshore operations. The system design utilizes both manual calculations and simulations, employing PVsyst software, to evaluate performance metrics. Results show that the TEG + PV hybrid system improves energy efficiency and reduces carbon emissions by approximately 40% compared to traditional fossil fuel systems. TEGs utilize waste heat from natural gas combustion, while PV panels capture solar energy, creating a synergistic effect that significantly reduces environmental impact. This hybrid configuration also aligns with emission reduction regulations in the oil and gas sector. Beyond environmental benefits, the hybrid system offers economic advantages. Fuel consumption and operational costs are notably reduced, with total savings in capital and operational expenditures (CAPEX and OPEX) reaching IDR 2.53 billion. These savings demonstrate the system’s financial viability and support its adoption in real-world offshore applications. In conclusion, the integration of TEG and PV technologies into a hybrid energy system offers a practical and sustainable solution for offshore oil and gas operations. The system achieves emission reduction targets, enhances operational efficiency, and delivers cost savings, thereby supporting the industry's transition toward more environmentally responsible energy practices.

Abstract

The rapid growth of photovoltaic (PV) installations in Indonesia, projected to exceed 8.5 GW by 2030, is expected to generate over 1 million tons of solar panel waste by 2050, highlighting the urgent need for end-of-life (EoL) management. This study evaluates the environmental impacts of monocrystalline PV panels and examines suitable recycling strategies for Indonesia. A Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) framework compares landfill and recycling scenarios using Global Warming Potential (GWP) and Cumulative Energy Demand (CED), supported by sensitivity analysis. Results show that aluminum recycling can reduce GWP by up to 83% and CED by 95% compared to primary production. Mechanical recycling and direct reuse are the most feasible options given local market conditions and technological readiness, while advanced recycling requires additional support. Extending panel lifespan and further improving efficiency further reduce emissions and accelerate carbon payback. The study emphasizes the need for a national PV waste management framework that integrates recycling with circular economic strategies. Policy measures such as Extended Producer Responsibility and fiscal incentives, combined with cross-sector collaboration, are crucial to ensuring a sustainable, low-carbon solar energy transition in Indonesia.

Abstract

The performance of photovoltaic (PV) systems is influenced not only by module efficiency but also by the flexibility and structural reliability of mounting systems, particularly those allowing height and tilt adjustments to accommodate site-specific and seasonal variations. While automatic tracking systems can increase energy yield, their high cost and mechanical complexity limit widespread adoption, underscoring the need for simpler, more economical alternatives. This study evaluates the structural feasibility of an adjustable-height PV mounting system that improves installation flexibility while maintaining mechanical integrity. A conceptual engineering design approach was employed to develop a modular mounting structure with a mechanical height-adjustment mechanism. Structural performance was assessed using finite element–based static simulations under gravitational loading representative of a commercial bifacial PV module. The evaluation focused on Von Mises stress distribution, total deformation, and safety factor as indicators of mechanical reliability at the conceptual design stage. The results indicate that maximum Von Mises stress remains well below the assumed material yield strength, while total deformation is negligible relative to overall structural dimensions. The calculated safety factor confirms an adequate structural safety margin, indicating that integrating a height adjustment mechanism does not compromise structural stability. The proposed mounting system demonstrates sufficient structural feasibility and mechanical simplicity for early-stage development, offering a practical, adaptable solution for ground-mounted and rooftop PV installations.
