Abstract

Electricity distribution networks often face efficiency challenges due to uncompensated reactive power, causing power factor degradation, increased power losses, and voltage instability. This study aims to analyze the use of Static Compensator (STATCOM) as a reactive power compensation solution in 20 kV distribution networks, with a focus on improving power factor, reducing power losses, and voltage staability. These challenges are relevant in Indonesia, where growing electricity demand and limited infrastructure exacerbate energy inefficiencies. The research methodology uses a quantitative approach based on simulation in MATLAB/Simulink. A simple distribution network model with one feeder (load 500 kW, 300 kVAR) is created, integrated with a STATCOM with a capacity of 300 kVAR. Simulations are carried out to compare conditions before and after the use of STATCOM at constant and fluctuating loads, measure power factor, power losses, and voltage profiles. The simulation results show that STATCOM improves the power factor from 0.857 to 1.0, reduces power losses by 26.5% (from 425.39 W to 312.50 W), and suppresses voltage drop from 24.51 V to 12.50 V. STATCOM effectively maintains voltage stability under disturbance conditions with a fast response (5-10 ms). However, the high initial cost indicates the need for economic optimization for practical implementation.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the power quality in a 20 kV medium voltage distribution system (voltage 20 kV, frequency 50 Hz, line length 5 km, input power 185 kVA, load 95 kW, pf 0.75) experiencing 3rd (10%) and 5th (5%) harmonic disturbances, as well as momentary voltage increases. The goal is to detect disturbances and neutralize them to restore the voltage waveform to a pure sine wave. The combined method of Fast Fourier Transform (FFT) and Wavelet is used through MATLAB simulation. FFT detects harmonics in the frequency domain, while Discrete Wavelet Transform (DWT) analyzes momentary voltage changes in the time-frequency domain. Simulations are performed with active harmonics at 0.2-0.4 seconds (sampling rate 1000 Hz), validated with real system characteristics. As a result, FFT identified harmonics of 150 Hz (2,828 kV) and 250 Hz (1,414 kV) with THD of 11.2%, while Wavelet detected the fault time. Neutralization using passive filters (150 Hz and 250 Hz) and capacitor banks (52.54 kVAR) reduced the THD < 5%, returning the voltage to 28.28 kV pure sine. This study offers a comprehensive analysis and practical solutions to improve the reliability of the distribution system, with suggestions for field data validation for further improvement.

Abstract

The increase in global energy demand drives the development of more efficient and environmentally friendly renewable energy sources. However, renewable energy generators, such as solar and wind power, face challenges in the form of output fluctuations that cause power instability. One solution that can be applied is the use of supercapacitors as energy storage to improve system efficiency and stability. This study aims to analyze the effect of supercapacitors on the efficiency of renewable energy generators by designing a supercapacitor-based energy storage system integrated with a voltage equalization system using MOSFETs. The methods used include design, simulation, and system testing to measure energy storage efficiency and voltage stability. The results of the study show that the integration of supercapacitors in renewable energy storage systems can increase system efficiency by up to 15% compared to systems without supercapacitors. In addition, the use of MOSFETs with low on-resistance can reduce power losses in the voltage equalization process. Thus, the use of supercapacitors in renewable energy storage systems has proven effective in improving the efficiency and stability of energy generators, as well as optimizing the use of renewable energy in meeting future energy needs.

Abstract

The use of Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS) plays a crucial role in maintaining power stability, especially in ICONNET network transmission stations, which require a reliable and uninterrupted power supply. UPS functions as a backup power source that prevents sudden power disruptions, reducing the risk of equipment damage and service interruptions in telecommunication networks. This study aims to analysed the impact of UPS usage on power consumption at ICONNET transmission stations. The research methodology includes measuring power consumption before and after UPS implementation, analysing power efficiency, and evaluating the impact of UPS on system reliability. Data were collected through monitoring electrical load, UPS operation duration, and power performance during grid outages. The results indicate that UPS usage can optimize power consumption efficiency by stabilizing voltage and frequency. Additionally, UPS contributes to enhancing the operational reliability of transmission stations by preventing downtime caused by power failures from the main grid. However, UPS efficiency is highly influenced by battery capacity, power conversion efficiency, and the electrical load characteristics of the transmission station. Thus, this study provides insights for network operators in selecting and managing appropriate UPS systems to improve energy efficiency and transmission system reliability.

Abstract

Calibration of measuring instruments is an important aspect in ensuring the accu-racy and reliability of industrial production systems, including in the palm oil derivatives (CPO) processing sector. Digital scales play a crucial role in the weighing process of raw materials, semi-finished products, and final products. However, each calibration process is inseparable from measurement uncertainty that can affect the quality of production results. Where this study aims to analyze the level of measurement uncertainty in the calibration process of digital scales used in CPO derivative production units. The research method is carried out by collecting scale reading data with standard loading, calculating type A (statistical) and type B (non-statistical) uncertainties, as well as calculating com-bined uncertainty and expanded uncertainty in accordance with ISO GUM (Guide to the Expression of Uncertainty in Measurement). Thus, the results of the analysis show that the greatest uncertainty comes from the variation in readings (repeatability) and the tol-erance of the standard weights used. The combined uncertainty value obtained is within the range that meets the industrial calibration tolerance limit, but there are recommenda-tions for improving environmental control procedures during calibration to minimize fur-ther deviations.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the performance of an automated control system in a piggyback greenhouse that implements a Programmable Logic Controller (PLC) as the control center, using a wick irrigation system for the plants. A piggyback greenhouse is a multi-story greenhouse concept designed for space efficiency in urban agriculture. This system utilizes soil moisture, temperature, and light sensors to monitor environmental conditions, along with actuators such as water pumps and ventilation systems controlled by a PLC. The wick irrigation method was chosen for its efficiency and energy savings, as water is absorbed by the plants through capillary action. Tests were conducted in several environmental scenarios to assess the response and stability of the automated control system. The test results showed that the system was able to consistently maintain soil moisture within the optimal range of 60–80%, with an average response time of 3 seconds for pump activation. Furthermore, the use of a PLC allows for flexibility in control logic settings and operational efficiency. Overall, the PLC-based piggyback greenhouse system with wick irrigation has proven effective in improving agricultural environmental control and supporting small-scale precision agriculture concepts. This research can serve as a basis for further development in the application of automation technology in the modern urban agricultural sector.
