Abstract

The transition to renewable energy requires innovations in new renewable energy sources, such as wind turbines and photovoltaic (PV) systems. Challenges arise in ensuring efficient and reliable performance in their operation and maintenance. Predictive maintenance using machine learning (PdM-ML) is relevant for addressing these challenges by enhancing failure predictions and reducing downtime. This study examines the effectiveness of PdM-ML in wind turbine and PV systems by analyzing operational data, performing data preprocessing, and developing machine learning models for each system. The results indicate that the model for wind turbines can predict failures in critical components such as gearboxes and blades with high accuracy. In contrast, the model for PV systems is effective in predicting efficiency declines in inverters and solar panels. Regarding operational complexity, each model has advantages and disadvantages of its own, but when compared to conventional maintenance techniques, both provide lower costs with greater operational efficiency. In conclusion, machine learning-based predictive maintenance is a promising solution for enhancing the reliability and efficiency of renewable energy systems.

Abstract

This study explores the potential of utilizing waste heat from air conditioning systems, one of the largest consumers of electrical energy. Currently, most of the waste heat generated by outdoor units is typically released into the environment without being utilized, leading to missed energy-saving opportunities. This study analyzes the potential for improving electrical energy efficiency in air conditioning (AC) systems by harnessing this waste heat. Two primary approaches are evaluated: the first is the use of waste heat for domestic water heating, and the second is the conversion of heat into electrical energy using thermoelectric generators (TEG). The results of this research indicate that both methods have the potential to improve overall energy efficiency significantly. However, challenges related to conversion efficiency and integration of these technologies with AC systems require further, more specific studies. These findings are expected to contribute to more efficient and environmentally friendly cooling systems by optimizing technology and overcoming barriers to wider implementation.

Abstract

The automotive industry manufacturing has experienced rapid growth 2–3 times by 2050, with motorcycles constituting around 30% of vehicles worldwide, but this increase in production has significantly heightened the demand for raw materials and energy. A major challenge arises in managing material waste and waste heat generated during the manufacturing process. This research aims to develop a framework that optimizes the synergy between material waste recycling and waste heat recovery to enhance the sustainability of the motorcycle industry, reduce waste, and lower energy consumption. The design leverages waste heat from the melting process to preheat raw materials, raising temperatures from around 50 °C to 350 °C before melting, thereby reducing additional energy needs, lowering emissions, and decreasing operational costs. Utilizing waste heat for preheating not only mitigates environmental impact and thermal load but also significantly improves energy efficiency, ultimately resulting in cost savings and optimized resource use. Utilizing waste heat directly for preheating raw materials has effectively lowered energy consumption by as much as 30%. This approach not only improves operational efficiency but also decreases production costs and minimizes environmental impact, offering a more sustainable solution for the manufacturing sector.

Abstract

This study discusses efforts to improve the heating oven system in the painting process to increase energy efficiency, reduce operational costs, and lower CO₂ emissions without compromising product quality, including the deactivation of the Recuperative Thermal Oxidizer (RTO) to reduce energy consumption and CO₂ emissions. Prior to improvement, the heating process consisted of three separate stages—pre-heat, heat-up, and keep zone—with a total processing time of approximately 60 minutes. This configuration resulted in annual LNG consumption of 230,866 m³, significantly impacting energy costs and the carbon footprint of the production process. Through process engineering, these stages were simplified into a single rapid-heating phase up to a peak temperature of 180°C, followed by stabilization at 150°C with a total duration of around 18 minutes. This operational redesign reduced cycle time by nearly 50% while optimizing heat distribution inside the oven. The implementation produced significant results: LNG consumption decreased by more than 50%, energy costs dropped from IDR 1.49 billion to IDR 0.71 billion per year, and total CO₂ emissions were reduced from 417.87 tons to 199.56 tons within two years. Product quality evaluation confirmed that the process changes did not affect performance or compliance with specification standards. Additionally, this study recommends further development through data-driven optimization, integration of sensors and IoT for more precise automatic control, and opportunities to utilize renewable energy as part of sustainable manufacturing strategies.
