Abstract

Abstract:  This study aims to evaluate power quality and analyze its impact on the reliability of electrical distribution systems in a high-rise building. The study employed a quantitative descriptive method through field measurements using a Power Quality Analyzer PEL 103 Chauvin Arnoux installed on the distribution panels of ten floors. The observed parameters included voltage, voltage unbalance, current unbalance, power factor, and total harmonic distortion of voltage (THDv) and current (THDi). The results indicate that the voltage level (229.18–235.02 V), voltage unbalance (0.31–1.17%), power factor (0.86–0.99), and THDv (<5%) comply with IEC 61000, SNI IEC 61000, Permen ESDM No. 04 of 2009, and IEEE 519-2014/2022 standards. However, current unbalance exceeded the permissible limit of 20% on seven floors, and THDi values on several floors exceeded 15%, indicating the presence of nonlinear loads. It can be concluded that the electrical distribution system of the high-rise building exhibits good voltage stability; however, load balancing among phases and harmonic mitigation measures are necessary to maintain the long-term reliability and safety of the electrical installation.   Keywords: Electrical Distribution, Harmonics, High-Rise Building, Power Factor, Power Quality.

Abstract

Provinsi Jawa Tengah menanggung kapasitas PLTU batubara terbesar di Indonesia sebesar 10.222,40 MW, sementara fraksi energi baru terbarukan baru mencapai 21,08 % dari target RUED sebesar 21,32 % pada 2025. Penelitian ini mengevaluasi ketersediaan biomassa pertanian Jawa Tengah untuk co-firing pada delapan PLTU batubara periode 2025 sampai 2030 menggunakan perangkat lunak Low Emissions Analysis Platform (LEAP). Massa biomassa yang tersedia diestimasi menggunakan metode Residue to Product Ratio yang dikoreksi dengan collection factor, diproyeksikan dari data produksi BPS 2020–2024. Hasil proyeksi menunjukkan biomassa tersedia turun dari 16,81 juta ton pada 2025 menjadi 15,79 juta ton pada 2030. Enam skenario co-firing, mengombinasikan dua rasio massa (2 % dan 5 %) dengan tiga skenario nilai kalor biomassa, menghasilkan penurunan input energi panas maksimum sebesar 2,77 %, jauh di bawah batas toleransi operasional 3 % yang lazim diterapkan pada boiler eksisting. Skenario 5 % rata-rata menghindarkan emisi 2,98 juta ton CO2 ekuivalen per tahun dan menaikkan fraksi EBT sektor ketenagalistrikan menjadi 22,51 %, di atas ambang RUED. Penghematan biaya bahan bakar netto berkisar Rp 0,95 sampai Rp 5,86 triliun per tahun tergantung skenario harga batubara. Temuan ini menunjukkan bahwa surplus biomassa pertanian Jawa Tengah memadai untuk mendukung implementasi co-firing, baik secara teknis maupun ekonomi.

Abstract

This study aimed to evaluate the effect of coconut husk and Expanded Polystyrene (EPS) composition on the mechanical and acoustic properties of lightweight concrete. The research was conducted experimentally using a two-way factorial design with coconut husk variations of 0%, 0.5%, 1%, 1.5%, and 2% of cement weight and EPS variations of 0%, 10%, 20%, and 30% of coarse aggregate volume. A total of 20 mix variations (5 coir levels × 4 EPS levels) were prepared with three replications for each test, resulting in 120 specimens. Compressive strength was tested at 7 days following ASTM C39, while sound absorption was measured at frequencies of 100–2000 Hz based on ISO 10534-2. The results showed that the addition of coconut husk up to 1% improved compressive strength through fibre reinforcement, whereas increasing EPS content enhanced sound absorption due to higher porosity but reduced mechanical strength. Statistical analysis using ANOVA (R² = 0.94, p < 0.05) and desirability optimisation identified the optimal composition at 1% coconut husk and 10% EPS. The developed lightweight concrete is suitable for non-structural building components requiring improved acoustic performance and reduced weight.

Abstract

Abstract:The increasing demand for electrical energy in university campuses requires the development of energy systems that are reliable, economically feasible, and environmentally sustainable. This study aims to evaluate the technical performance, economic feasibility, and environmental impact of a hybrid energy system integrating Solar Photovoltaic (PV), Wind Turbine (WT), and Waste-to-Energy (WTE) power generation connected to the utility grid. The research methodology involved collecting renewable energy resource data, electrical load profiles, and techno-economic parameters, which were subsequently analyzed using HOMER Pro software to determine the optimal system configuration. The simulation results indicate that the proposed system is capable of generating 972,876 kWh/year of electricity, with renewable energy contributing 717,784 kWh/year or approximately 73.8% of the total annual energy production. The system achieved a renewable fraction of 75.2%, a Net Present Cost (NPC) of IDR 13.85 billion, and a Cost of energy (COE) of IDR 1,122/kWh. Furthermore, the electricity exported to the grid reached 315,694 kWh/year, exceeding the imported electricity of 255,092 kWh/year, indicating that the system operates as a net exporter. From an environmental perspective, the WTE unit utilizes 88.7 tons of municipal solid waste annually while supporting emission reduction and renewable energy utilization. Overall, the results demonstrate that the proposed hybrid system is technically reliable, economically viable, and environmentally beneficial, making it a promising solution for supporting green campus development and sustainable energy implementation.
