Abstract

The Archimedes screw is a hydropower technology well-suited for low-head applications This study investigates the performance of a laboratory-scale Archimedes screw turbine for low-head hydropower applications by varying pitch-to-diameter ratio (P/D = 0.3, 0.38, 0.45, 0.52) and inclination angle (β = 22°, 25°, 27°). Experiments were conducted in a controlled water flow environment to evaluate torque, power output, and efficiency at different rotational speeds. Results indicate that both P/D and β significantly influence energy conversion. The highest performance was achieved at P/D = 0.45 and β = 22°, producing a peak torque of 0.36 Nm, a power output of 2.4 W, and a maximum efficiency of 52.37%. Lower inclination angles contributed to improved hydraulic energy capture due to better water filling and reduced slippage. These findings highlight the importance of optimizing geometric parameters to enhance turbine performance in small-scale, sustainable energy systems. The results offer design guidance for implementing Archimedes screw turbines in rural or off-grid low-head hydropower scenarios.

Abstract

Currently the Fassip-01 strand to Fassip-07 uses a control system of two positions (on-off) in controlling heaters to maintain stopping conditions when experiments are carried out. Nuclear Termofluidal System Research Group Develops the Heating Control Facility that functions as a Heating Control System Test Facility using PID system control (proportional integral derivative) to overcome the problem of existing residual heat due to the use of the Kend system This test was conducted to find out the analysis of 4 heater power before the experiment took place and analyzed RTM (Risetime) Setpoint 40.45, and 50 degrees. In this experiment the method used was an experiment so that the results were obtained in the form of accuracy values, heater positions, high energy consumption, poor power settings, large residual heat and time difference ratio in each setpoint.

Abstract

This community service activity aims to improve community food security through the implementation of chili cultivation in polybags in Pematang Gubernur Village, Muara Bangkahulu District, Bengkulu City. The main problems faced by the community at the partner location are limited yard space and high chili prices during certain seasons. Through chili cultivation training in polybags, the community is equipped with knowledge and practical skills ranging from preparing the planting medium, sowing seeds, planting, maintenance, and harvesting. Implementation methods include counseling, live demonstrations, and field assistance. The results of the activity show an increase in community knowledge and motivation in utilizing limited land to grow chili independently. Thus, this activity contributes to supporting household food security and community economic empowerment.

Abstract

The operational performance of a Gas and Steam Power Plant (PLTGU) is largely determined by its cycle thermal efficiency. Specific fuel consumption (SFC) is a key metric that represents the ratio of total fuel consumption to generated electrical power. This study aims to analyze the SFC value and its tendency towards maximum load. The method used is quantitative by processing steady-state operational data from the central control room (CCR). Data were taken under operating conditions with natural gas fuel and maximum load. The calculation results show a very narrow and stable variation in SFC values, ranging from the lowest to 0.30769 kg/kWh at a load of 19.88 MW to the highest at 0.30967 kg/kWh at a load of 20.01 MW. Theoretically, efficiency (indicated by a decrease in SFC) should increase with increasing load. The anomalous increase in SFC at 20.01 MW at 10:00 a.m. Western Indonesian Time (WIB) is interpreted as a result of the fuel injection system's rapid response to the sudden increase in load, or the engine operating slightly outside its design efficiency range at that point. Nevertheless, the overall trend shows stable efficiency, with a tendency for SFC to decrease with increasing load, indicating the unit is capable of maintaining optimal performance under peak load conditions.

Abstract

Ocean wave energy is a renewable resource with significant potential for development in Indonesia, given its vast coastal areas. One technology for converting wave energy into usable power is the Oscillating Water Column (OWC) system. This system utilizes the vertical motion of seawater inside a chamber to generate airflow, which then drives a turbine to produce energy. This study aims to analyze the effect of oscillating column tilt angle and wave period variations on the energy conversion efficiency of an OWC model, and to determine the optimal tilt angle for maximum efficiency in converting wave power into air power. The research was conducted experimentally using a laboratory-scale OWC model measuring 1500 mm in length, 300 mm in width, and 500 mm in height. The oscillating column tilt angles tested were 0°, 35°, 40°, and 45°. Artificial waves were generated using a motor drive at 30 rpm, 40 rpm, and 50 rpm, producing wave periods of 2.1 seconds, 1.6 seconds, and 1.2 seconds, respectively. Measured parameters included air velocity, motor speed, wave period, wavelength, and wave height. Calculations determined wave power, air power, and system efficiency. Results show tilt angle and wave period significantly affect OWC efficiency, with the highest efficiency reaching 41.00% at 40° tilt and 1.6-second waves.
