Abstract

Monitoring of energy produced by the solar power plant (SPP) with a capacity of 618.8 kWp at HKBP Nommensen University in Medan is carried out using the FusionSolar application. This SPP energy management application includes displaying yield, energy consumption, energy exports, and SPP energy imports. The amount of energy displayed using the FusionSolar application is compared with the amount of energy resulting from manual calculations based on power data displayed on the alternating current (AC) combiner panel from 3-phase inverters. This comparison was carried out over seven days of measurements. It produced an average difference of 5.779%, with a correction value of 0.942, so the energy reading resulting from the FusionSolar application must be multiplied by this correction value.

Abstract

Internet of Things (IoT) technology can enhance agricultural productivity through automated monitoring and control systems. However, many existing IoT systems are still centralized and inflexible, making integration with other systems in the field challenging. This research develops a distributed and modular (plugin) automated monitoring and control system for soil moisture management, specifically for potato cultivation. The system utilizes soil moisture sensors to measure moisture levels, which are processed by an ESP8266 microcontroller. The data is used to automatically control irrigation flow, maintaining soil moisture within the optimal range for potato plants. Additionally, the system includes a backup feature that allows manual operation in case of automatic system failure. Field tests demonstrate that the system effectively maintains soil moisture at optimal levels. Its manual operation feature also ensures continued functionality during disruptions. Therefore, this system is expected to improve efficiency and resilience in agricultural land management, particularly in dynamic environmental conditions.

Abstract

Perkembangan pesat Internet of Things (IoT) telah memungkinkan berbagai aplikasi cerdas; namun, pengelolaan banyak perangkat IoT yang tersebar secara manual masih kurang efisien dan memakan waktu. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengembangkan sistem pemantauan dan pengendalian terpusat untuk perangkat IoT yang tersebar dengan menggunakan arsitektur master-agent. Master berfungsi sebagai pusat kendali yang mengumpulkan data dari berbagai agent serta memungkinkan manajemen terpusat melalui API Gateway yang memfasilitasi komunikasi dan kontrol perangkat. Prototipe yang dikembangkan terdiri dari dua mode kontrol: kontrol manual untuk menyalakan dan mematikan lampu melalui antarmuka berbasis web, serta kontrol otomatis untuk pemantauan lingkungan menggunakan berbagai sensor. Hasil pengujian menunjukkan bahwa sistem ini mampu mengelola perangkat IoT secara real-time dengan efektif. Pengujian kontrol manual berhasil mengaktifkan dan menonaktifkan lampu secara jarak jauh. Pengujian kontrol otomatis untuk pemantauan tanaman mencatat suhu lingkungan stabil antara 44–46°C, kelembaban tanah pada 27%, variasi jarak sensor ultrasonik antara 2–15 cm, serta fluktuasi intensitas cahaya antara 29–120 Cd. Hasil ini membuktikan bahwa sistem dapat merespons perubahan lingkungan secara dinamis, seperti mengaktifkan pompa air saat kelembaban tanah rendah atau menyesuaikan pencahayaan berdasarkan data real-time. Dengan menerapkan arsitektur RESTful API dan komunikasi berbasis JSON, sistem ini menawarkan skalabilitas tinggi dan fleksibilitas dalam pengembangan jaringan IoT. Penelitian ini menyimpulkan bahwa sistem pengendalian dan pemantauan IoT secara terpusat meningkatkan efisiensi, fleksibilitas, serta kemudahan dalam pengelolaan perangkat, sehingga dapat diterapkan dalam berbagai bidang seperti smart home, pertanian cerdas, dan otomatisasi industri.

Abstract

Waste pollution in Lake Toba has become a critical environmental issue, threatening both its natural beauty and ecological sustainability. Manual waste collection methods remain limited in terms of efficiency and operational reach. This study aims to design and evaluate a web-based navigation control system for a floating surface-cleaning device utilizing the NodeMCU ESP8266 microcontroller. The system enables real-time control of direction and motor speed through a web interface, employing Pulse Width Modulation (PWM) for precise speed regulation. A prototype-based engineering approach was adopted, encompassing system design, implementation, and performance testing on land and in water environments. The experimental results indicate that the system successfully responded to all navigation commands (forward, backward, turn, pivot, and stop) with 100% accuracy under a stable local Wi-Fi network. Motor performance in water was found to be approximately 15–20% lower than on land due to fluid resistance. Battery endurance tests showed an operational time of approximately 3 hours on land and 2.1 hours in water at a 60% PWM duty cycle. Overall, the system demonstrates effective and flexible performance and holds promise for further development through the integration of sensors, camera modules, GPS-based autonomous navigation, and LoRa communication.
