Abstract

Motor Starting on large capacity induction motor using direct on-line starting (DOL) method may cause a problem for system. It is due to motor start-up current that can be up to eight times of the nominal current. Soft starter is an induction motor starting method based on power electronic that can significantly decrease motor starting current, resulting in reduced fuel consumption. In this research, a comparison between DOL starting method and two soft starter methods based on thyristor and Insulated Gate Bipolar Transistor (IGBT) is performed. The results show that thyristor based soft starter method with firing angle 90˚ can reduce input voltage from 220 V to 165 V so that the maximum starting current down from 633 A to 265 A. In the same voltage value, IGBT can reduce maximum starting current to only 100 A

Abstract

Hybrid power generation system such as photovoltaic (PV)-diesel is one of the solution to reduce operational cost of the conventional diesel generation system. However, fluctuation of PV power due to uncertainty in weather condition may generate an unstable frequency of system. Further, it may reduce the reliability of the power utility, especially when the penetration of PV power is large. Therefore, a frequency control approach that involving PV with battery supervised by neural network algorithm is proposed to generate a stable system frequency. This method can reduce the frequency deviation without smoothing PV output power. The PV panels can generate maximum power according to the weather condition and frequency deviation. The PV output power and battery output power is controlled by neural network algorithm control. The neural network algorithm control is considering frequency deviation, average insolation and change of insolation as input. The proposed method is compared with similar system but without the existence of battery as energy storage system. The simulation results show that the proposed method can generate small frequency deviation compared with system without battery.

Abstract

Impressed Current Cathodic Protection (ICCP) is a method to protect metallic material such as ship hull from corrosion by using electric current. In this research, a prototype of thermoelectric generator is developed in order to supply the ICCP system. This thermoelectric generator is planned to utilize the exhaust gas from main engine of the ship. Method carried in this research is assembling the prototype of thermoelectric generator followed by conducted experiment to observe the potential energy of the prototype. After that, the required number of thermoelectric generator is calculated to supply the ICCP system to protect the ship from corrosion. The object in this research is live fish carrier “Wellboat” which has 396.08 m2 wetted area. The required voltage and current to protect the ship from corrosion for three years are 16.67 Volt and 2.66 Ampere. Based on the experiment, a prototype of thermoelectric generator can generate 0.34 Ampere and 4.43 Volt, causing the need of 8 series and 4 parallels connection. It can be concluded that the corrosion rate on the ship hull can be decelerated by using impressed current cathodic protection method without needing additional cost or fuel consumption to produce electric energy.
