Abstract

Energy auditing is a method of increasing energy efficiency. An energy audit is conducted to provide an overview of energy use, analyze the electrical system, and determine potential cost savings. The laboratory of the national food and drug agency (BPOM) in Manokwari has problems with electricity that often cause interruptions, power outages, and expensive bills. Therefore, this research was conducted to audit the energy used in the laboratory of the BPOM of Manokwari, with a building area of 1,484 m2 and an installed power of 105 kVA. In this laboratory building, a diesel generator with capacity of 5 kVA is installed as a backup energy source and the generator has its own installation line. According to the calculation results before auditing, the energy consumption intensity (IKE) value obtained per month is 10.18 kWh. Energy audit through lighting loads and air conditioning systems. Then the recommendation through energy savings for lights and air conditioners is 274.12 kWh/month and 639.32 kWh/month, respectively. Therefore, total savings are 913.44 kWh/month, or about IDR 1,541,886.72/month.

Abstract

The power factor grades are an indicator to determine the effectiveness of the electric power either distributed or used by consumers. A high power factor indicates that the electrical loads are using energy efficiently. Due to the increase in inductive load, there will be a decrease in the power factor, which in turn affects the distribution of electrical energy. In this research, an investigation has been carried out to observe the background that influences the low power factor at public hospital (RSUD) of Manokwari and recommend the need for a basis for improving the power factor at the hospital. Primary data on lighting and electrical equipment, along with their respective electric power capacities and power factors, are collected and measured onsite. Then the data is analysed based on the theoretical basis of power factor improvement. Based on the investigation, there are two focus points in the hospital to be observed, i.e., motor pumps and total load at the main panel. The calculation results show that pump motors 2 and 3 need to be compensated by increasing the power factor to 0.9 so that reactive power is reduced to 1.42 kVAR and 1.24 kVAR, respectively. In the same way, apparent power can also be upgraded to 0.85 kVA and 1.46 kVA by installing bank capacitors of 30.35 mF and 26.63 mF, respectively. On the other hand, the largest load connected to the main panel needs to be corrected to reduce the reactive power and apparent power to 17.86 kVAR and 9.5 kVA through the installation of a capacitor bank of 387.75 mF. This correction will increase energy efficiency while gaining economic benefits on both electricity bills and waiving penalties.

Abstract

Background : This study investigates the technical and economic feasibility of an on-grid rooftop solar photovoltaic (PV) system for the Postgraduate Building of the University of Papua, West Papua, Indonesia. Amid rising energy demands and limited renewable energy utilization in the region, this research addresses the need for sustainable electricity solutions. Methods: The system was designed using Helioscope software, considering solar radiation, shading, and local climate data. The proposed configuration consists of 14 polycrystalline solar modules (320 Wp each) and one SMA Sunny Tripower 5.0 kW inverter. Results: Simulation results indicate that the system can produce approximately 5,660 kWh annually, covering 19% of the building’s electricity consumption. The estimated initial investment of Rp 137,200,000 yields annual savings of Rp 9,617,740, resulting in a payback period of 14 years and 2 months. Conclusion: The findings demonstrate the viability of rooftop solar power systems for reducing energy costs and enhancing sustainability in remote areas. The project serves as a replicable model for academic institutions seeking to adopt renewable energy technologies. Novelty: This study provides a localized case of solar PV deployment in West Papua, contributing empirical insights to regions with limited renewable energy integration and offering a practical approach to energy transition in underserved areas.

Abstract

Background: Broiler chickens are highly sensitive to temperature changes due to their inability to sweat, making them vulnerable to heat stress and respiratory illnesses. Manual monitoring methods are inadequate in maintaining optimal environmental conditions, especially in regions with unstable power supply. This study addresses the need for an autonomous system to regulate temperature and lighting in poultry housing. Methods: An IoT-based solution was developed using Arduino Uno and NodeMCU ESP8266 microcontrollers, coupled with a DHT11 temperature and humidity sensor. The system employed incandescent lamps for heating and axial fans for cooling, activated based on temperature thresholds. Real-time data were displayed on an LCD and transmitted to the Blynk mobile application for remote access. A 12V battery and inverter ensured continuous operation during power outages. Findings: The system maintained stable temperature conditions between 31°C and 34°C. When the temperature dropped below 31°C, the lamp activated; when it rose above 34°C, the fan turned on. Data were reliably recorded and displayed over a 24-hour period. All hardware components functioned effectively, and system performance was consistent even during transitions to backup power. Conclusion: This research confirms the effectiveness of a low-cost IoT-based system for automated environmental control in broiler poultry housing. The system provides a reliable, remote-controlled solution that improves animal welfare, minimizes manual labor, and ensures operational resilience in power-limited settings. Novelty: The proposed system combines real-time environmental monitoring, remote access, and automated actuation with a backup power feature in a compact and affordable design. It is specifically tailored for small-scale poultry operations in developing regions, filling a critical gap in accessible precision farming tools.
