Abstract

An inverter is an electrical device that converts direct current (DC) into alternating current (AC). Typically, a standard inverter operates at three voltage levels: +Vdc, -Vdc, and 0. However, a multilevel inverter consists of several smaller inverters connected in a series to produce multiple voltage levels at the output. The primary advantage of this type of inverter lies in its ability to produce a much lower harmonic distortion compared to traditional, non-multilevel inverters. Additionally, the switching components of a multilevel inverter operate at lower frequencies, which makes it more suitable for highpower applications. This research focuses on a threephase cascaded multilevel inverter, specifically generating output waveforms with up to seven levels. The study involves conducting experiments using RL loads, to observe how these variations affect the output waveforms and their harmonic distortions. The result, THDi values are much lower, with the 3rd harmonic contributing 0.02%, the 5th contributing 0.006%, the 7th contributing 0.004%, the 9th contributing 0.002%, the 11th contributing 0.002%, and the 13th harmonic contributing just 0.001%. These results suggest that the voltage harmonic more significant harmonic distortion than the current, particularly at the 13th harmonic order. This increase highlights the effect of inductive loads on the performance of the inverter, particularly in terms of harmonic content. These findings are crucial for optimizing multilevel inverters in practical applications, ensuring improved performance and efficiency.

Abstract

Introduction of Solar Panels as a Renewable Energy System for high school students in Surabaya City. In particular, the city of Surabaya can be an effort to support the realization of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) program. The team has held online discussions with partners, namely SMAN 20 Surabaya to carry out the introduction of solar panels as a renewable energy system to students at SMAN 20 Surabaya. The purpose of community service is to socialize the use of solar power plants through learning activities (education) and solar power plants training for school students and teachers. The method used in this activity is divided into three stages. In the first stage, field observations were carried out to find problems related to the availability of electrical energy in schools. In the second stage, the implementation of community service includes the delivery of solar panel material with lectures, demonstrations, and the design of solar power plants systems at schools. In the third stage, it is an evaluation or feedback stage by giving questionnaires to participants. The results of this community service activity provide information on understanding solar panels and batteries in the good category. Practical activities need to be taught to student, so solar power plants teaching aids are needed at the school. The team made an educational activity for students, namely a demo of converting solar energy into electrical energy. The implementation of this community service has been carried out well.

Abstract

Achieving social welfare in all aspects is one of Indonesia's national goals. The village, as the smallest unit in the structure of society, is often neglected in efforts to achieve this goal. Therefore, regulations were created to address village issues in the hope of improving their welfare. One of the aspects regulated in village regulations is BUMDes, an entity that has a significant role in improving the village economy. This article will discuss the role of BUMDes in advancing the economy, with a case study of Balongmojo Village. Several work programs are proposed, including diversifying the production of kerupuk kelor, creating attractive packaging designs using Canva, and utilizing sugarcane bagasse waste to make it marketable. The results show that BUMDes can be effective in improving the economy of Balongmojo Village by developing local entrepreneurs through strong branding strategies and product market expansion.

Abstract

The grounding system in the Hospital is used to overcome when there is a touch voltage and step voltage on the transformer and also other equipment installed on the transformer. The process carried out in this study was carried out by measuring the grounding and processing the data used to determine the size and smallness of the touch voltage and Step voltage. The results of the calculation of the grounding resistance in the hospital obtained a value of 5,056 ? which can cause a touch voltage with a value of 1014 V. The step voltage in humans weighing 50 Kg produces a value of 962,8 V and the step voltage for humans weighing 70 Kg produces a value of 1299 Volts. With the results of the values ??obtained, that the value has been in accordance with the standard of Step voltage based on IEEE 80-2013 with a value of 3,140 V with a duration of disturbance of 0,5 seconds.

Abstract

The load unbalance causes a neutral current, the current flowing in the neutral conductor will cause an increase in losses in the transformer. The greater the losses incurred, the efficiency and reliability of the transformer will decrease. Based on this, a study was conducted on analyzing the losses on distribution transformers at Supermall Mansion 2 Tower Tanglin which aims to determine the percentage value of transformer loading, the value of transformer imbalance, the value of transformer losses, and the value of transformer efficiency. This is done so that the value of the installed transformer does not exceed the applicable SPLN value. During the measurement, it was found that the percentage value of the transformer loading was 38.88% during the daytime and 48.89% at night (maximum SPLN 80%, minimum 40%). The load unbalance value is 11.66% during the daytime and 10.33% at night (SPLN is categorized as good if < 10%). Copper losses (Pcu) are 91.3 kW during the daytime and 94.2 kW at night. The value of losses due to neutral currents is 0.134 kW with a percentage of 0.0071% during the daytime and 0.173 kW with a percentage of 0.0090% at night. The percentage of the current value in the neutral conductor is 26.36% during the day and 24.04% at night (SPLN is categorized as good if < 20%).

Abstract

The increasing demand for sustainable energy sources has encouraged the application of renewable technologies in rural infrastructure, particularly in public lighting systems. This study focuses on the implementation of solar cell and photocell-based street lighting in Gaprang Village, Blitar Regency, as a solution to reduce dependency on conventional electricity and to enhance energy efficiency. The system utilizes photovoltaic modules as the primary energy source to convert solar radiation into electrical power, which is stored in batteries and subsequently used to supply street lamps during nighttime. In addition, the integration of photocell sensors enables automatic control of the lighting system by detecting environmental illumination levels, ensuring that the lamps operate only when required. The design and installation process involved site surveying, load estimation, solar panel configuration, and the application of photocell-based automation. The results demonstrated that the system provided reliable illumination for rural roads, significantly lowering operational costs and minimizing environmental impact compared to traditional grid-powered lighting. Furthermore, the use of photocells improved energy management by preventing unnecessary power consumption during daylight. The activity will take place in August 2025, with a focus on installation in Gaprang Village. The results of the activity include community understanding of the benefits and maintenance of street lights, as well as the implementation of solar cell-based technology. The conclusion states that this project can provide a positive and sustainable impact, empowering communities and creating efficient infrastructure that aligns with renewable energy initiatives.
