<![CDATA[The problem of limited energy and high household electricity consumption in Indonesia encourages the importance of implementing energy-efficient lighting technology. The still high use of energy-wasting incandescent lamps indicates the low energy literacy of the community in choosing efficient types of lamps. This study aims to analyze and compare the energy efficiency of three generations of lamp technology, namely incandescent lamps, compact fluorescent lamps (CFLs), and LED lamps, with an experimental approach. Testing was carried out using a wattmeter, lux meter, and infrared thermometer in a closed room with controlled conditions. Each type of lamp was tested with a light output equivalent to ±800 lumens. The test results showed that LED lamps had the lowest power consumption of 10 watts with the highest efficiency of 80 lumens per watt and a surface temperature of 45°C. CFLs have a power consumption of 15 watts with an efficiency of 53.3 lumens per watt and a temperature of 70°C. Meanwhile, incandescent lamps consume 60 watts with an efficiency of only 13.3 lumens per watt and a surface temperature of 120°C. Simulation of household use shows that the use of LEDs can save electricity costs of up to 112,500 rupiah per month compared to incandescent lamps. The results of this study provide empirical evidence that LEDs are the most efficient lighting solution in terms of energy, cost, and safety of use for the household sector.]]>

<![CDATA[Solar Power Plant is a power generation system that uses solar energy to generate electricity. PLTS components consist of solar panels, solar charger controller, battery and inverter. Solar panels are used to convert solar energy into DC electrical energy. The solar charger controller functions to regulate the voltage value distributed to the battery. The battery is used to store electrical power and the inverter is used to convert DC current to AC. In its use, the components installed on the PLTS need to know the efficiency percentage so that the amount of electrical energy utilization that can be generated can be known. This study aims to analyze the efficiency of electrical energy generation produced by solar panels with a capacity of 250 WP and a 2000 W inverter. Tests were carried out 5 times within a 5-hour time span (10:00 WIB – 14:00 WIB) using a 350 W Water Pump load. The test results showed that the solar panels were able to produce an average power of 76.39 W, with the largest power reaching 86.55 W. The calculated solar panel efficiency was 15.13%. The battery efficiency, based on the highest power measured, reached 0.80%. The inverter's power output varied, averaging 919.6 watts, with the highest output reaching 935 watts.]]>

<![CDATA[The performance of microstrip antennas can be significantly improved through fractal geometry, particularly in achieving size reduction and multiband behavior. This study investigates the radiation efficiency of a microstrip dipole antenna employing the Cohen-Minkowski fractal geometry. The antenna is designed using FR4 substrate material with a dielectric constant of 4.4 and is simulated in multiple fractal iterations. Simulations are conducted using CST Studio Suite to observe return loss (S11), gain, and radiation efficiency across different frequencies. The results show that the incorporation of Cohen-Minkowski geometry increases surface current path length, enabling better impedance matching and improved radiation efficiency, especially at higher iterations.]]>

<![CDATA[Insulation resistance testing is an important part of electrical installation system maintenance to ensure system safety and reliability. This study aims to analyze the condition of low-voltage cable insulation in the PT. PLN (Persero) UPP Sumbagut 1 building through insulation resistance testing using a megger. Measurements were conducted at several distribution panel points by comparing the results with the 2011 PUIL standard. The test results showed a decrease in insulation quality at several points, especially in the generator panel area, which has the potential to cause disruption to the power distribution system. The decrease in insulation resistance can be influenced by various factors such as cable age, environmental humidity, and installation conditions. This study provides recommendations for preventive measures in the form of cable replacement at critical points and the implementation of periodic testing to maintain the performance of the electrical system. In addition, evaluation of installation design and environmental control is also needed to increase cable service life and overall system efficiency.]]>

<![CDATA[The stability of a three-phase power supply is crucial for ensuring the reliable operation of photography studio equipment, which is generally sensitive to electrical disturbances. One common disturbance is phase failure, which can cause equipment damage, reduced work quality, and safety risks. This study aims to analyze and implement a microcontroller-based phase failure detector system capable of detecting abnormal conditions in a photography studio's electrical system quickly and accurately. The system is designed using an ATmega328P microcontroller integrated with voltage sensors on each phase. When one of the phases fails, the system will provide a warning via a buzzer and LED indicator, and can optionally disconnect the load to prevent further damage. Test results show that this detector is capable of detecting the loss of a phase in less than 1 second with an accuracy level of XX% (adjusted based on the results). Thus, this system can improve protection for studio equipment and support more reliable operations.]]>

<![CDATA[Disruptions in the electricity distribution network are one of the main problems that can reduce the reliability of electricity supply to customers. PT PLN ULP Balige as a customer service unit has the responsibility to ensure the continuity and quality of electricity distribution services in its operational area. This study aims to analyze the main causes of electricity distribution network disruptions using the Fault Tree Analysis (FTA) method. This method is used to identify the root causes of disruptions with a deductive approach arranged in the form of a fault tree. The data used in this study were obtained from disruption reports over the past year that occurred in the medium and low voltage distribution network at PT PLN ULP Balige. The results of the analysis indicate that several dominant factors causing disruptions include equipment component damage (such as transformers and cables), weather disturbances, and other external factors. With FTA modeling, logical relationships between causes can be systematically mapped, thereby facilitating the evaluation process and technical decision-making. This study is expected to be a basis for PT PLN ULP Balige in formulating prevention strategies and improving the reliability of the electricity distribution system through a more structured analytical approach.]]>
