Abstract

Horticultural products require storage at temperatures ranging from 0–10 °C to maintain post-harvest product quality. Cold storage is an effective solution because it can maintain temperature stability, which affects the rate of respiration, microbial activity, and the shelf life of products. However, conventional cold storage systems that use only a single compressor are less flexible in adjusting to thermal loads, which reduces efficiency, accelerates component wear, and decreases the overall reliability of the system. This study designs and simulates an automatic temperature control system based on a Programmable Logic Controller (PLC) by regulating two compressor units according to room temperature and integrating the principles of hysteresis, staging, and rotation. The system uses an upper temperature limit of 10 °C, a lower temperature limit of 0 °C, and a hysteresis point at 5 °C as a reference for changing operating modes. Compressors can operate simultaneously to speed up cooling, compressors can operate alternately to balance the load while maintaining optimal temperature, and compressors can stop simultaneously to stop cooling and prevent product freezing. The simulation was carried out using CX-Programmer for ladder logic and CX-Designer for Human Machine Interface (HMI) visualization. Testing involves temperature variations above 10 °C, in the range of 0–10 °C, and below 0 °C to verify the system's response. The results show that the system is able to maintain the storage room temperature at optimal conditions automatically and stably. The system successfully applied the principles of hysteresis, staging, and rotation effectively in response to temperature changes. The system is also equipped with automatic recovery capabilities that maintain precise control after a power outage. This design has the potential to be applied in food preservation, supply chain logistics, and temperature-sensitive industries, as well as supporting the development of cooling and autonomous systems.

Abstract

The advancement of information technology has significantly influenced the education sector, particularly in the management of new student admissions. Many schools still rely on manual registration processes that are time-consuming, prone to data entry errors, and inefficient in managing applicant data. Penraujan Private Junior High School is one of the institutions that continues to use a conventional registration system, resulting in administrative difficulties, especially during periods of increased enrollment. This study aims to develop a web-based new student admission system to improve the efficiency, accuracy, and accessibility of the registration process. The system enables prospective students to register online at any time and assists the school in managing, storing, and generating registration data and reports more effectively. The Rapid Application Development (RAD) method is applied in this research due to its emphasis on fast and iterative system development while accommodating user needs. The results of this study indicate that the proposed web-based admission system is able to streamline the registration process, reduce data input errors, and enhance the quality of administrative services at Penraujan Private Junior High School. This system also provides convenience for prospective students by allowing online registration without the need to visit the school directly.

Abstract

A transformer is a vital component in the electrical power distribution system that functions to transfer energy from medium voltage to low voltage. The reliability of a transformer is highly influenced by the thermal condition of its insulation, which determines its service life. This study aims to predict the effective lifespan of a 1250 kVA distribution transformer at PT. Ultra Sumatra Dairy Farm uses the thermal aging method based on the IEEE C57.91-2011 standard. The data used includes nameplate information, daily load profiles, and average ambient temperature. Based on the measurements, the transformer operates at an average load of 422.7 kVA (33.8% of its rated capacity) and an ambient temperature of 23°C. The calculated results show a hottest-spot temperature of 49.55°C with an aging acceleration factor (FAA) of 0.000649. The daily Loss of Life (LOL) value of 0.00000865% indicates that thermal aging occurs very slowly. Based on the Equivalent Aging Factor (FEQA), the theoretical effective lifespan of the transformer reaches approximately 31,660 years. However, in practice, the actual lifespan of the transformer is estimated to range between 25–35 years due to non-thermal factors such as moisture, oil oxidation, and load fluctuations. These results indicate that the thermal condition of the transformer remains very safe and efficient for long-term operation.

Abstract

Distribution transformer is one of the most important components in the electric power distribution system. Distribution transformers often experience load imbalance problems. One previous study showed that load imbalance can reach 25.6% which contributes to increased power losses. This study aims to analyze the relationship between the percentage of load imbalance and the power losses incurred at PT. PLN (Persero) ULP East Binjai. This study was conducted with a quantitative approach by calculating the percentage of load imbalance and the resulting power losses. Data were collected through direct observation, voltage and current measurements, then calculations and analysis were carried out. The results showed that a greater percentage of load imbalance occurred at night at 12.96% while during the day at 10.03%. And the resulting power losses occurred at night at 853.3 Watts while during the day at 4,386.3 Watts. Thus, it can be concluded that the greater the percentage of load imbalance, the greater the power losses incurred.

Abstract

Transformer load balancing is a mandatory maintenance activity that is regularly conducted to ensure the optimal performance of distribution systems. This activity serves as an essential effort to minimize neutral current, which contributes to power losses resulting from unbalanced loading conditions in distribution transformers. The load balancing process was carried out at Distribution Substation TP0067, with a capacity of 100 kVA, located within the operational area of ​​PT PLN (Persero) ULP Tanjung Pandan. The procedure commenced with load measurements on each feeder and phase, followed by detailed calculations of the phase load distribution. Based on the analysis results, the phases requiring load transfer to achieve balance were identified. Following the implementation of the load redistribution plan, it is expected that the neutral current will be significantly reduced, thereby reducing power losses and enhancing the overall efficiency and reliability of the distribution system.

Abstract

Power system protection is crucial for maintaining energy distribution reliability. This study aims to evaluate the performance of Over Current Relay (OCR) and Ground Fault Relay (GFR) as protection systems in 20 kV cubicles at Selayang Switching Station (GH) PT PLN UP2D North Sumatra. The research method used is descriptive quantitative with an engineering case study approach. Data were collected through field observations, short-circuit fault current calculations, and physical testing using the Omicron CMC 353 secondary current injection tool. The results show that the maximum short-circuit fault current of 14.4 kA is still below the circuit breaker's breaking capacity of 16 kA. The pick-up current settings on feeders SLY 05, SLY 06, and SLY 07 met the sensitivity criterion (1.2 x Imax), and the time coordination (grading margin) between protection devices was within the ideal range of 0.25 to 0.5 seconds. Validation through injection testing showed high accuracy with an average operating time deviation of less than 10% according to PLN standards. The conclusion of this study confirms that the protection system at GH Selayang operates efficiently, precisely, and reliably in securing network assets and ensuring the continuity of electricity supply.

Abstract

Three-phase induction motors are the main components in industrial power systems; However, their performance is vulnerable to internal disturbances such as stator resistance imbalance caused by aging, overheating, or manufacturing defects. This study aims to regularly analyze the impact of stator resistance imbalance on the efficiency and torque characteristics of a squirrel-cage induction motor using mathematical modeling based on an equivalent circuit. Unlike previous studies that employed external resistors, this research directly modifies the stator resistance parameters in the model to represent more realistic internal degradation. Simulations were conducted on a 3.73 kW, 400 V, 50 Hz motor with stator resistance imbalance variations ranging from 0% to 20%. The results show that the imbalance causes uneven current distribution and an increase in stator copper losses of up to 5.94% at the 20% imbalance condition, although the current imbalance percentage remains below 1%. As a result, the efficiency decreases linearly from 92.97% to 92.62%, while the mechanical torque experiences a slight reduction from 95.88 Nm to 95.28 Nm. This phenomenon also has the potential to increase torque ripple and uneven heating. The study demonstrates that even small stator resistance imbalances have a significant impact on motor performance and lifespan, and therefore should be considered in predictive maintenance strategies and energy efficiency optimization.

Abstract

This paper analyzes the efficiency performance of a 7.5 kW three-phase induction motor controlled by a Variable Speed ​​Drive (VSD) for industrial speed regulation applications. The motor is rated at 380 V, 50 Hz, four poles, with a nominal speed of 1440 rpm. A constant voltage-to-frequency (V/f) control strategy is implemented with operating frequencies varying from 30 Hz to 50 Hz. Simulation-based analysis is conducted to evaluate electrical input power, mechanical output power, rotational speed, torque, and efficiency under different operating conditions. The results show that the motor input power decreases from approximately 8.0 kW at 50 Hz to 4.0 kW at 30 Hz, indicating significant energy-saving potential during partial-speed operation. Motor efficiency increases with frequency, ranging from 80.0% at 30 Hz to a maximum of 88.8% at the rated frequency. The reduced efficiency at lower frequencies is mainly attributed to the dominance of constant losses such as core and mechanical losses. The study confirms that VSD-based speed control improves operational flexibility and enhances energy efficiency of three-phase induction motors, making it suitable for industrial applications with variable load and speed requirements.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the reliability of the power supply system at the Sibolangit TVRI Transmitter Station which uses Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS) with a capacity of 40 kVA and 250 kVA as an important component in maintaining the operational continuity of the transmitter. A reliable power supply system is crucial to ensure broadcast quality and prevent service disruptions due to power supply failures. The methods used in this study include collecting UPS operation data through field monitoring, analyzing technical parameters such as Mean Time Between Failure (MTBF), Mean Time To Repair (MTTR), Availability, and comparing the performance of the two UPS units. Data were analyzed using statistical approaches and reliability engineering tools to evaluate the performance and failure patterns that occurred during the observation period. The results show that the 250 kVA UPS has a higher level of availability than the 40 kVA UPS, with an average MTBF value of XX hours and YY hours, respectively, and MTTR of AA hours and BB hours. The analysis also reveals the main factors that affect reliability, including the quality of the electricity supply from PLN, load conditions, and the implemented maintenance schedule. These findings provide technical recommendations regarding load management, improved preventive maintenance schedules, and risk mitigation strategies to improve power supply continuity, particularly for low-capacity UPS units. Thus, this study contributes to the understanding of power supply system reliability in broadcasting installations and provides a basis for planning for improving operational performance at the TVRI Sibolangit transmitter station.

Abstract

Hotel Danau Toba Internasional Medan consumes a large amount of electricity due to the use of inductive and non-linear loads, which can reduce power quality. This study aims to evaluate the existing power quality and assess the effect of installing capacitor banks and harmonic filters in improving the efficiency and reliability of the electrical system. The methods used in this study include direct measurements, analysis referring to the IEEE Std. 519-2014 standard, and simulations with ETAP software version 16.0.0. The measurement results show a low power factor of 0.759, with a voltage drop reaching 15.65 kV from a nominal voltage of 20 kV, and the highest voltage unbalance recorded at 2.64% on panel 1 during the weekend. Based on the simulation results, the installation of a capacitor bank with a capacity of 525.22 kVAR can improve the power factor to 0.972 and reduce the current from 2015.2 A to 1782.6 A. To prevent resonance caused by harmonics, a reactor detuned by 8% is used. This implementation has been proven to increase energy efficiency, maintain system stability, and generate operational cost savings of IDR 221,400,000 annually.
