Abstract

This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of bentonite mixtures in reducing grounding resistance in acidic swampy areas. The method used is an experiment comparing resistance before and after the addition of bentonite in various compositions (25%, 50%, 75%, and 100%), supplemented with linear regression analysis. The results showed that bentonite significantly reduced soil resistance in three types of electrodes: iron rebar, copper-coated iron, and galvanised iron. The highest reduction in resistance was achieved in iron rebar electrodes, from 35.93 Ω to 22.46 Ω (a 37% reduction) with the addition of 25% bentonite. Linear regression analysis showed a consistent negative relationship between the percentage of bentonite and grounding resistance, with a coefficient of determination (R²) varying between 26.40% and 73.39%. These findings indicate that bentonite is effective as a natural grounding material in acidic swampy areas. This research makes an important contribution to the development of more efficient and safer electrical systems in swampy areas and challenging environments, while also supporting the use of natural materials to reduce dependence on synthetic chemicals.

Abstract

Climate change effects influence the sustainability of wind and photovoltaic energies as renewable sources. Similarly, infrastructure for renewable energy is structurally vulnerable to lightning strikes. Hence, a system for detecting and monitoring lightning activity is necessary to predict and adapt to climate change trends and to enhance the lightning protection system's capability. One such system for observing and locating lightning is very high frequency (VHF) interferometry. Various factors, such as the baseline distance between sensors, the frequencies used, and the quality of the analyzed signal, will influence the system's accuracy. This paper discusses these factors through an extensive literature review. This study aims to identify the factor that most significantly affects the system's accuracy and to determine the technical adjustments required to improve this accuracy. Enhanced precision in the interferometry system will provide a more detailed view of lightning activity, thereby aiding in the climate change prediction that could impact electricity generation from renewable sources. Accurate lightning location detection can also serve as a basis for designing effective lightning protection systems for renewable energy infrastructure.
