Abstract

Power quality is a critical aspect of the effective and dependable operation of electrical systems. In today's technologically advanced world, where industries rely significantly on electricity, understanding and maintaining power quality is critical. National Research and Innovation Agency (BRIN) has an important laboratory for aerodynamic testing technology service activities in Indonesia. This facility contains a closed wind tunnel, a DC drive system, and a DC electric motor. This innovative fan drive system employs a parallel DC drive system, with the master and slave motors connected to a master DC drive system and a slave DC drive system, respectively. The usage of a new system results in poor electrical power quality, with a power factor value of less than 0.85, resulting in higher electricity costs and increased current, which has an impact on other equipment, such as a rise in temperature. To improve the quality of electrical power according to standard operating procedures and lower electricity bills, the current work evaluated the new system using field tests and literature studies on the impact of installing capacitor banks in parallel DC motor systems to boost the power factor value. This evaluation aims to improve the quality of the ILST parallel electric power system by including a capacitor bank in each motor.

Abstract

A solar photovoltaic (PV) grid system with an Energy Management System (EMS) has been installed in Bilacenge, Southwest Sumba. This 400 kWp PV-Grid system is the first system in Indonesia that can control the electricity output to the grid. It comprises two battery blocks that support the system to maximize electricity generation. This study has been conducted to evaluate the installed PV-grid system with EMS compared to diesel generators commonly used in remote areas. The study employs various techno-economic methods, including life cycle cost (LCC), levelized cost of energy (LCoE), and economic feasibility analysis based on several parameters such as net present value (NPV), payback period (PBP), and benefit-cost ratio (BCR). The results show that the system will experience a return on investment after operating for 34 years, accompanied by a benefit-cost ratio value of 0.60, which indicates that the investment of this PV grid system is not economically profitable.
