Abstract

This article discusses community service activities that have been carried out on Gili Iyang Island, Sumenep, Madura. This activity is the application of appropriate technology, in the form of weather and air quality monitoring devices. This device is installed in two locations, namely the east side of the island and the west side of the island. The data generated from these devices can be accessed with Android smartphones by the local community and researchers. With the application of this tool, it is hoped that it can improve and advance the environmental, tourism and renewable energy sectors. In addition, this community service activity also targets training and dissemination of applied technology. Of course, the training and outreach involved the local community, which consisted of tourism awareness groups and youth organizations from the two villages on Gili Iyang Island.

Abstract

A solar photovoltaic (PV) array is part of a PV power plant as a generation unit. PV array that are usually placed on top of buildings or the ground will be very susceptible to dirt and dust. Thus, this dirt and dust will be able to reduce the performance and work efficiency of the generation unit. Cleaning PV arrays by manpower requires high effort, cost, and risk, especially in higher location. This study presents the design of a mobile robot that is used to replace human labor to clean PV arrays. That way, the PV array maintenance steps can reduce operational costs and risks. This intelligent controlled mobile robot can maneuver safely and efficiently over PV arrays. gyroscope and proximity sensors are used to detect and follow the sweep path over the entire PV array area. Proportional integral derivative (PID) control test makes the robot can stabilize in about 5.72 seconds to keep on the track. The smart PV cleaning robot has average operation time about 13 minutes in autonomous mode and 20-24 minutes in manual mode. The operation of the robot is effective to give more efficiency on the use of energy, time, and maintenance costs of PV array system.
