Abstract

Education is crucial for global progress and is always changing due to the impact of current technologies. Ongoing discussions focus on how developing technologies are affecting teaching and learning approaches. This essay examines how incorporating new technology in education impacts academic success. Although technology is deemed essential for information dissemination in education, the influence of new technology on academic success is still uncertain. This research examines the elevated failure rates at Seberang Perai Polytechnic (PSP) in Malaysia, linking them to factors including insufficient information, slow progress in studies, and inadequate time management. The study seeks to investigate the influence of new technologies on academic achievement at PSP. The study uses an ex post facto research strategy and quantitative approaches to gather data from 200 respondents at PSP. The study aims to identify the new technologies used by students in various departments and evaluate how these technologies affect academic achievement. Chi-Square analysis and Spearman correlation coefficient are used to test hypotheses. The survey shows that modern technology is widely accessible, with cellphones being the most favored among pupils. Noticeable discrepancies in technological access across departments have been discovered. Weak connections exist between technology usage frequency and academic achievement, with just one statistically meaningful association discovered in obtaining material on the internet. The research helps fill the void in literature on the use of new technologies for academic objectives within the context of PSP. The results underscore the need of teaching students about efficient technology utilization to improve academic results. The study highlights that the presence of new technologies does not automatically lead to academic progress. Academic improvement relies on how students incorporate these resources into their learning methods. Suggestions involve teaching students how to use technology effectively and understanding that academic success is not guaranteed solely by using technology.

Abstract

Hydrogen as a renewable energy source is increasingly important in efforts to reduce carbon emissions and transition to clean energy. Many power plants are equipped with hydrogen plants that produce hydrogen gas continuously, but excess hydrogen is often disposed of when storage reaches maximum capacity. This study proposes the use of excess hydrogen to power fuel cells as a backup energy source in various important facilities, such as commercial centres, fitness, and health services. Hydrogen fuel cells offer the main advantage of zero-emission operation, making them an ideal solution for improving energy sustainability. By using previously discarded hydrogen, not only energy waste can be minimized, but it also opens new business opportunities in the sale and rental of fuel cell systems to consumers who care about their carbon footprint and clean energy. The hydrogen gas productivity at a power plant reaches 88.8 kg/day, and the potential excess hydrogen gas at a power plant reaches 48.84 kg/day. One kilogram of hydrogen gas can generate 15 to 20 kWh of electrical energy. The study also examines potential business models that focus on the utilization of hydrogen from renewable energy sources such as solar, hydro, and geothermal. In addition, the analysis shows that the application of fuel cells for backup energy systems in strategic locations can reduce dependence on conventional energy that generates emissions. The use of this technology has great potential to support green energy infrastructure in Indonesia and is in line with global initiatives towards reducing carbon emissions. With the cost of hydrogen production getting lower and the growing awareness of the importance of clean energy, this approach is expected to play a significant role in achieving sustainable energy targets.

Abstract

The increasing global energy demand drives the development of efficient and sustainable renewable energy solutions. Floating Solar PV (FSPV) technology offers a viable solution by utilizing water surfaces such as reservoir ash ponds in coal-fired power plants without requiring additional land. This study aims to analyze the technical and economic aspects of an FSPV system with a capacity of 15.2 kWp using HelioScope and Homer Pro software, assuming Global Horizontal Irradiance (GHI) data from the National Solar Radiation Database. The analysis methods include annual energy production, Net Present Cost (NPC), Levelized Cost of Energy (LCOE), and other economic metrics such as Return on Investment (ROI), Internal Rate of Return (IRR), and Simple Payback Period for various grid electricity price escalation scenarios. The results show that a 5% annual increase in grid electricity prices reduces the simple payback period from 18.2 years to 13 years, with an ROI increase to 6.3% and an IRR of 7.1%. This study concludes that the FSPV system not only supports the transition to clean energy but also offers greater financial benefits under scenarios of rising grid electricity prices.
