Abstract

The need for electrical energy in the public building sector is quite dominant, reaching 33-40% of the total energy consumption of all sectors. To control electrical energy in buildings effectively, an Energy Management System (EMS) is needed. EMS stage consists of Plan-Do-Check-Act (PDCA). The study conducted in this research is on how to use the PDCA cycle method to model the consumption of electrical energy in campus buildings in a sustainable manner. Modeling of energy-efficient electrical loads is formed in several ways: modeling by replacing T8 fluorescent lamps and CFLs with LED, modeling by replacing non-inverter AC with inverter AC, modeling by the number of library visitors, modeling by improving the power factor, and finally, modeling with a combination of the four previous models. Modeling using LEDs results in savings of 1,464 kWh per month; inverter AC modeling saves 1742 kWh per month; modeling by adjusting the number of visitors saves 857 kWh per month; and modeling by improving the power factor saves 56 kWh per month. This electrical load modeling can save up to 8 kW of power outside of the library's operating hours. Meanwhile, during operational hours, the modeling library can save up to 30 kW of electric power

Abstract

Program pengabdian masyarakat ini bertujuan untuk meningkatkan pemahaman dan kesiapan masyarakat Nagari Lakitan Tangah dalam memanfaatkan potensi energi terbarukan melalui pembangunan Pembangkit Listrik Tenaga Mikrohidro (PLTMH). Kegiatan diawali dengan survei teknis untuk mengukur debit dan tinggi jatuh air di Air Terjun Palano, yang menghasilkan potensi daya sebesar 105 kW dan produksi energi tahunan sekitar 1,04 GWh. Berdasarkan analisis teknis dan finansial, proyek dinilai sangat layak dengan nilai Internal Rate of Return (IRR) sebesar 21,5%, Net Present Value (NPV) positif, serta periode pengembalian modal (Payback Period) hanya 6,2 tahun. Pemilihan turbin Crossflow direkomendasikan karena efisien pada variasi debit air dan mudah dipelihara. Selain manfaat teknis, kegiatan ini berdampak sosial-edukatif signifikan dengan meningkatkan kesadaran masyarakat terhadap energi terbarukan, memperkuat kemandirian energi desa, serta membuka peluang ekonomi lokal. Program ini diharapkan menjadi dasar pengembangan energi mandiri berkelanjutan di Nagari Lakitan Tangah dan wilayah sekitarnya.

Abstract

Real-time environmental monitoring is an important requirement for managing facilities, laboratories, server rooms, and work environments that require temperature and humidity control. This study aims to develop and evaluate the performance of an Internet of Things (IoT)-based environmental monitoring system using ESP32 microcontrollers, DHT11 sensors, the Message Queuing Telemetry Transport (MQTT) protocol, Node-RED, and a MySQL database. The system is designed to acquire temperature and humidity data, transmit data via Wi-Fi using MQTT, display real-time measurement results on the Node-RED dashboard, and store historical data into a MySQL database. Testing was carried out with a data transmission interval of every 5 seconds using MQTT QoS 0. The test results showed that the system was capable of continuous monitoring, with a measured temperature range of 27.1–28.5 °C and a relative humidity range of 44–51% RH. Sensor data was successfully transmitted, visualized, and stored in real-time without any loss of observed data during the test period. The Node-RED dashboard can display information as gauges, trend graphs, and historical tables, facilitating the monitoring and analysis of environmental data. The integration of ESP32, MQTT, Node-RED, and MySQL produces a stable, low-cost, easy-to-develop monitoring system with potential for implementation in various IoT-based environmental monitoring applications. The results of the study indicate that the proposed architecture can provide a reliable environmental monitoring solution and support real-time, data-driven decision-making.
