Abstract

Solar energy is a renewable energy source (EBT) that will not run out. One of the uses of solar energy is as a source of energy for solar-powered public street lighting (PJUTS). Public street lightingCampus Area of Panca Budi Development Universityaims to help improve road safety at night. In this study, planning will be carried out for solar-powered Public Street Lighting (PJUTS) located inCampus Area of Pancasila Development Universitywith a road width of 5 m and a road length of 320 m. Planning for solar-powered public street lighting (PJUTS) requires 14 lighting points with a load of 24 Watt LED lights. With a pole height of 7 m and a distance between poles of 25 m, the lighting intensity is 6.72 lux for manual calculations. Meanwhile, according to applicable standards, the lighting intensity value is 3-7 lux. The solar module used has a capacity of 75 Wp. PJUTS operates 12 hours a day and is able to continue operating for 3 days without a solar energy source. The total cost that must be incurred for this solar-powered public street lighting is IDR 1,224,500,000

Abstract

The coal feeder motor is a three-phase induction motor whose speed is regulated by the Variable Speed Drive (VSD). The coal feeder motor functions as a medium for distributing coal fuel to the combustion chamber in the boiler which aims for the combustion process in heating water on the pipe wall (wall tube) which will be used as steam to drive the turbine. Before supplying coal, first pay attention to the amount of coal entering the coal feeder, because it will affect the coal flow and motor performance. The more coal that enters the coal feeder, the greater the coal flow, just as the high speed of the motor will increase the flow of coal entering the furnace. From the research results, the calculation of the change in motor speed to the torque of the coal feeder motor at a speed of 115.2 rpm obtained a torque of 7.88 Nm, at a speed of 144 rpm obtained a torque of 6.68 Nm, at a speed of 230.4 rpm obtained a torque of 5.33 Nm and at a speed of 288 rpm obtained a torque of 4.48 Nm%. at a speed of 115.2 rpm an efficiency of 31.05% was obtained, at a speed of 144 rpm an efficiency of 29.55% was obtained.

Abstract

Electricity is a very important need, especially in the field of information technology development, educational facilities and households. The application of alternative electrical energy sources as backup energy by utilizing DC (direct current) energy sources from batteries (accu) which are converted through circuit stages so that they can be used as AC (Alternating current) backup energy sources. PLN electricity used to charge the battery (charge) through a step down transformer to 24Vac then rectified through a rectifier circuit in the form of a bridge rectifier aims to rectify the AC voltage to a DC voltage of 24Vdc to charge the 24Vdc battery. This automatic charger test aims to obtain the performance of the circuit that will cut off the charging current at a voltage of 13.5V on a 12V battery with a capacity of 5AH automatically when the battery is fully charged. Where the battery input comes from the rectifier output of 13.5V and the battery output will be used as input from the inverter. Before the automatic Charger circuit is connected to the battery, the battery input voltage is set at 11.5Vdc. Charging the charger produces a voltage of 13.5 volts with a maximum charging current of 1.17Amperes with a charger time of 2.5 hours, the charging process from a voltage of 11.5 Volts increases to 13.5 Volts. The temperature of the battery when charging must also be monitored so that there is no excessive heat that can damage the battery cells which reduces the life of the battery.

Abstract

The electric power system is a primary need, both for daily life and for industrial life. The provision of stable and continuous electric power is an absolute requirement that must be met in meeting the need for electric power. The distribution system is the distribution of electrical energy from the substation to consumers. There are 2 (two) distribution systems, namely primary distribution and secondary distribution. Primary distribution, the distribution starts from the substation (secondary side of the power transformer) to the distribution substation (primary side of the distribution transformer) or from the substation directly to the 20kV medium voltage consumer. Power transformers are equipped with a grounding transformer that functions to obtain a neutral point from the power transformer. Before replacing the coil winding, measurements were taken using a TTR transformer turn ratio test (megger) measuring instrument. It can be concluded that the location of the damage is in the coil winding section. The results of the voltage measurements on the Primary Winding between phases R-S = 410 V, ST phase = 407 V and TR phase = 375V. and the Secondary voltage between phase and Neutral is RN = 221V, SN = 237V and TN = 222V. and the current in the Secondary winding between phases is R = 7.64A, S phase = 7.64A and T phase = 8.08A.

Abstract

Atik Bakery uses a power generation system to meet its operational energy needs, one of which comes from a generator unit that plays an important role in maintaining a stable power supply. One of the key components in generator operation is the excitation system that functions to regulate the generator output voltage. This study aims to evaluate the performance of the generator unit excitation system at Atik Bakery, by analyzing efficiency, voltage stability, and response to changes in load. The methods used include measuring the generator output voltage at various load conditions, as well as monitoring the parameters of the excitation system using measuring devices and data analysis. The results of the study indicate that the generator unit excitation system can maintain a stable output voltage under normal load conditions, but there is a decrease in performance at higher loads, which can affect the quality of power supply to the factory. This evaluation provides a basis for efforts to improve and enhance the performance of the excitation system to improve operational efficiency and stability at Atik Bakery.

Abstract

The decline in power performance in generators can be caused by various factors, one of which is the degradation of the stator conductor windings due to age, excessive temperature, or unstable operational conditions. This study aims to analyze and improve the power performance of a 20 kVA generator through the rewinding process of the stator windings with new conductors that meet technical standards. In this study, the methods used include initial analysis of the condition of the old windings, planning the winding redesign, the rewinding process, and testing the results through measuring voltage, current, efficiency, and power factor. The test results show a significant improvement in generator performance parameters after the rewinding process. The output voltage becomes more stable, power losses decrease, and efficiency increases from 0% to 80%. In addition, the power factor has improved from 0 to 0.92. This improvement proves that the rewinding process with the right material and technical specifications can restore and even significantly improve generator performance. This study makes a real contribution to the maintenance and reconditioning of electrical equipment, especially in small-to-medium scale power generation systems.

Abstract

The use of electrical energy as a lighting source in dragon fruit orchards in remote areas such as Silimakuta Village often faces challenges due to limited access to electricity from the state electricity company (PLN). Therefore, efficient and sustainable alternative energy sources are needed, one of which is through Solar Power Plants (PLTS). This study aims to calculate the power requirements and capacity of the PLTS system required to meet lighting needs in dragon fruit orchards. The research problem formulation includes how to calculate the power requirements of a PLTS system and the required power capacity. The problem definition focuses on calculating the power requirements of each component and the amount of power generated by the system to determine the number of solar modules. The research method used was to calculate the power consumption of lighting lamps, system efficiency, and the potential solar irradiation in the area. The results show that a PLTS system with a certain capacity can optimally meet nighttime lighting needs. This research provides benefits in the form of appropriate PLTS system planning, battery capacity calculations, and the utilization of renewable energy to support sustainable lighting systems in the agricultural sector.
