Abstract

Modern agriculture is increasingly adopting technology to improve efficiency and productivity. This study proposes the development of a Multi-sensor-based Chili Plant Monitoring System integrated with Internet of Things (IoT) technology and accessed via a website. This study is designed to monitor important parameters such as temperature, soil moisture, and soil pH in real-time to improve the efficiency of agricultural management. This system uses a number of sensors placed around chili plants to measure environmental parameters accurately. The temperature sensor is used to monitor the temperature of the plant environment, while the soil moisture sensor monitors the level of soil moisture which is important for plant health. Thus, they can monitor the condition of their chili plants remotely and make more timely decisions. In addition, the system can provide automatic notifications to farmers via the website when environmental conditions reach a specified limit. For example, farmers can receive a notification if the temperature exceeds a threshold or if soil moisture drops below the desired level. This allows farmers to take preventive measures or make necessary adjustments quickly. This research makes an important contribution to the development of efficient and sustainable technology-based agriculture. The implementation of the Multi-sensor-Based Chili Plant Monitoring System accessed via this website allows farmers to better manage their agricultural land, increase yields, and optimize resource use.

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

Indonesia has the potential for new and renewable energy (EBT), including solar energy as a source of power generation. Energy efficiency can be defined as the ratio between the electrical power generated and the input power received. Low efficiency impacts the electrical power output of solar modules. This underlies the use of Solar Power Plants (PLTS) as a new and renewable electrical energy source to replace fossil fuels that have limited quantities and pollute the environment. Solar cells as PLTS units have the constraint of insufficient output power and are highly dependent on natural conditions. One method of optimizing solar cells is by using sunlight-reflecting glass (reflectors). Sunlight is a renewable energy source that can be utilized as a new power generator. However, in the process, certain additions are required to the solar cell module to optimize the output voltage produced. Efforts to optimize electrical output in solar modules by maximizing the intensity of light falling on the surface of the solar module by using direct sunlight. The results obtained are in the form of a comparison.

Abstract

The development of electric vehicle technology continues to experience rapid progress, especially in terms of energy efficiency and power storage systems. One of the main components in an electric vehicle is the battery, which plays a crucial role in determining the vehicle's range, performance, and energy efficiency. This study aims to analyze the battery life of a BLDC (Brushless DC) motor used in a mini electric car prototype. Testing was conducted at the Electrical Engineering Laboratory of Panca Budi Development University with various load scenarios and operating times to evaluate battery life performance. The research method was carried out through an experimental approach by directly measuring voltage, current, temperature, and operating duration using a digital measuring instrument and periodically recording the data. The test results showed that the battery has optimal performance within a certain current range, but experienced a decrease in capacity as the load and operating temperature increased. From the test results, it was concluded that battery life is greatly influenced by operational conditions and charging system management. This study provides an initial overview for the development of a battery management system (BMS) and energy efficiency design in a laboratory-scale mini electric vehicle. Development recommendations are directed at temperature control and load power regulation so that the battery can be used more optimally and sustainably.

Abstract

Low grounding resistance is an important factor in ensuring the safety and reliability of electric power systems, especially on High Voltage Overhead Lines (SUTT). This study aims to analyze and improve the grounding resistance values on 150 kV SUTT towers on the Glang–Namorambe line using the three-point measurement method. Measurements were conducted to determine the actual condition of the grounding system and evaluate the effectiveness of the improvements made. Initial measurements showed that several towers had resistance values exceeding the maximum PLN standard limit of 10 ohms. To address this, improvements were made by installing additional electrodes, adding conductors, and using ground enhancement materials. After the improvements, remeasurements were conducted for each tower. The analysis results showed that the applied improvement method succeeded in reducing the grounding resistance value significantly, with an average reduction of 40–60%. The final resistance values of all towers were below the specified threshold, so that the grounding system can function properly in protecting equipment and personnel safety from overvoltage disturbances caused by lightning and ground faults.
