Abstract

This study addresses the problem of generation cost optimization for thermal power plants in the Sulbagsel multimachine power system. An advanced swarm intelligence approach, the Whale Optimization Algorithm (WOA), is employed as the primary optimization technique. WOA, inspired by the bubble-net hunting strategy of humpback whales, has emerged as a promising metaheuristic with strong capabilities in exploration and exploitation. The main objective of this study is to minimize thermal generation costs while ensuring effective performance under real system operating conditions. To provide a comparative benchmark, Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) is also applied to the same problem. Statistical evaluation is conducted to assess convergence behavior, accuracy, and consistency of both methods. The results indicate that WOA demonstrates superior balance between exploration and exploitation, leading to stable convergence and reliable solutions. Under peak daytime load conditions, PSO achieves a cost reduction of 23.02%, whereas the proposed WOA-based method achieves a comparable reduction of 23.78%. Although PSO yields a slightly higher cost saving, WOA demonstrates stronger robustness and statistical reliability across multiple trials. These findings confirm that WOA is a competitive alternative for generation cost optimization in complex multimachine systems, offering significant potential for future applications in economic dispatch problems with larger-scale renewable energy integration.

Abstract

An inaccurate Owner’s Estimate Cost (OEC) often triggers procurement failures in the purchasing process, thereby affecting cost performance and the success of government capital expenditure projects in Indonesia from a construction management perspective. The OEC serves as the primary benchmark for assessing the reasonableness of bids in construction procurement; calculation errors may lead to ineffective cost control, financial mismanagement, and regulatory non-compliance. Therefore, this study aims to improve OEC accuracy by developing an Adaptive Neuro-Fuzzy Inference System (ANFIS) model supported by a Linear Regression (LR) algorithm to predict price fluctuations that influence cost planning and procurement decisions for public building projects. Project data from state-owned building construction and unit price analysis data for the 2021–2024 period were analyzed to predict 2025 price changes (addenda) for various construction work items. The proposed model achieved strong accuracy, with Root Mean Squared Error (RMSE) values of 0.0108–0.0333 and Mean Absolute Error (MAE) values of 0.0099–0.0261 across multiple work descriptions, indicating a good model fit. These findings confirm that the model outperforms comparable studies in terms of precision and interpretability, and can serve as a data-driven approach to strengthen cost management, estimate planning, and procurement decision-making in construction management.

Abstract

Pico hydropower is a renewable-energy option for isolated communities and low-head run-of-river sites, but axial-flow pico-hydro generators are vulnerable to voltage fluctuation when water flow, hydraulic head, or consumer load changes. This study proposes a novel and reproducible artificial-intelligence-assisted proportional-integral-derivative (PID) tuning framework for voltage control of a 220 V, 2 kW axial-flow turbine generator ZD760-LM-(18-20). The novelty lies in combining a voltage-control-oriented small-signal model of a low-head axial-flow pico-hydro unit, a nonminimum-phase hydraulic zero that represents inverse initial response, identical bounded PID-search constraints, and a composite objective that explicitly penalizes inverse dip, overshoot, settling time, ITAE, and IAE. The plant model combines actuator or electronic-load-controller dynamics, non-elastic water-column dynamics, turbine-generator dynamics, and sensor dynamics. PID gains obtained from Ziegler-Nichols (PID-ZN), Ant Colony Optimization (PID-ACO), and Particle Swarm Optimization (PID-PSO) are compared under Kp = 0-100, Ki = 0-50, and Kd = 0-10. Simulation results show that PID-ZN stabilizes the plant but requires a 6.80 s settling time and produces an ITAE of 2.9603. PID-ACO reduces settling time to 2.26 s and ITAE to 1.1320, whereas PID-PSO gives the lowest ITAE of 1.1311 with only 0.030% overshoot. Compared with PID-ZN, PID-PSO reduces settling time by 66.8% and ITAE by 61.8%. These results indicate that AI-based PID tuning can improve voltage quality in low-cost rural and off-grid pico-hydro systems using practical ELC or simple actuator implementations.

Abstract

Reliable nutrient circulation is essential for small-scale hydroponic cultivation, but many Internet of Things (IoT) hydroponic systems depend on multi-parameter sensing, cloud-based decision making, or artificial-intelligence-assisted architectures that can be costly and difficult to reproduce in household and educational settings. This study designs and functionally evaluates a low-cost real-time-clock (RTC)-assisted ESP32 IoT prototype for scheduled hydroponic nutrient irrigation. The practical contribution is a reproducible entry-level automation baseline that helps household users, school laboratories, and community demonstration sites maintain predictable nutrient circulation without continuous manual checking. The system integrates an ESP32 microcontroller, DS3231 RTC, DHT11 temperature-humidity sensor, relay-driven DC nutrient pump, LCD, and Blynk monitoring interface. The main novelty is the use of battery-backed RTC scheduling as a local-first mechanism for routine nutrient-pump actuation, while the cloud dashboard is retained for supervision rather than as the sole timing dependency. This position differentiates the prototype from cloud-centered hydroponic systems whose irrigation execution may depend on network availability. The prototype was programmed to activate the nutrient pump at 07:00 and 16:00 for 10 s per event. Functional validation used four dimensions: environmental reading consistency, RTC timing consistency, pump actuation reliability, and IoT monitoring availability. Daytime DHT11 observations ranged from 29.1 to 31.2 °C and 62 to 68% RH, with mean values of 30.28 °C and 64.50% RH. The RTC showed a recorded 0-s difference from the daily reference time over five observation days within the resolution of the test. The pump executed all observed scheduled ON-OFF events, yielding 100% schedule execution success for two scheduled activations and 100% relay-pump state reliability for four observed states. The Blynk interface displayed temperature, humidity, and pump status during testing. These results demonstrate engineering feasibility for a reproducible scheduled nutrient-irrigation baseline suitable for household-scale hydroponic practice, student laboratories, and introductory IoT learning. The scope is deliberately bounded to prototype-level engineering feasibility: the study evaluates scheduling, actuation, and monitoring, but does not claim nutrient-dosing precision, flow-rate calibration, pH/EC regulation, or crop-yield improvement. Future work should include calibrated reference instruments, pH/EC and flow-rate measurement, nutrient-volume accuracy testing, network-performance analysis, power and cost benchmarking, and controlled plant-growth trials.
