Abstract

A monitoring system for fuel availability at Base Transceiver Stations (BTS) is an absolute necessity. The fuel availability in the generator set must be guaranteed because it ensures the energy supply and continuous operation. This research purpose is to create a robust and effective sensor that can be monitored in real-time so that industry players can estimate the consumption of fuel at the BTS in a certain period. The novelty of this research is that instead of looking at the amount of fuel consumption/reduction like the previous research, this study focuses on how much diesel availability is in the generator tank. So, calculating fuel requirements and predicting actual consumption are done directly. The sensor is a reed-switch oil level sensor and is connected to ESP32 as the microcontroller. It's installed horizontally and uses an optimum distance between sensors of 2.5 mm to improve the sensor reading's accuracy. The test results of converting voltage values into ADC signals on sensor readings produced a determination coefficient of 0.9987, which showed the reliability of the sensor-level design. The sensor precision test results produced an RSD value of 0.17% and the accuracy test produced an error range of -3% to 2% with an average error value of 1.59%. These results indicate that the designed level sensor has good precision and accuracy. Through this research, the provider can predict and plan their fuel consumption needs for BTS power supply and increase the Domestic Component Level in the sensor industry.

Abstract

The large-scale implementation of analog switch-off for television broadcasting in Indonesia has led to blank spots in several regions. To address this issue, an optimal propagation model is needed. Proper selection and analysis of the channel model can enhance transmitter coverage, increase coverage percentage, improve energy efficiency, and boost field strength due to optimal transmit power. Previous studies have explored various DVB-T2 propagation models, notably the ITU-R P.1812-4 and Longley-Rice models, which are sophisticated and consider various environmental parameters, making them suitable for diverse broadcasting conditions. This research introduces a novel approach by specifically focusing on the urban context of Semarang City, Indonesia, to reduce blank spots by applying the ITU-R P.1812-4 and Longley-Rice propagation models. This study uniquely compares the two models to determine the most effective one for this urban area. Results indicate that the ITU-R P.1812-4 model provides a higher field strength value than the Longley-Rice model, with average field strengths of 108.3425 dBμV/m and 108.2325 dBμV/m, respectively. The difference in average field strength of 0.11 dBμV/m, despite having the same free space loss value of 100.9025 dB, indicates that one model has a slightly stronger signal. This stronger signal can improve coverage by reaching further distances and penetrating obstacles better. Additionally, a stronger signal means less power is needed to maintain the same coverage area, thus improving energy efficiency. This research not only offers empirical data specific to Semarang City but also provides insights that can guide future digital broadcasting optimizations in similar urban environments.

Abstract

Forklifts, as lifting and transportation equipment, play a crucial role in logistics. However, forklift operators often chase targets, pushing the forklift to perform at higher speeds. Operating a forklift at high speeds not only poses potential dangers to the working conditions but can also lead to a decrease in forklift performance. Operators do not ensure the forklift is running according to procedures due to a lack of supervision. In response to this issue, the author proposes an innovation in the form of a monitoring device capable of recording speed violations committed by operators. With the planned device, it is expected that forklift operators will exercise more caution and take greater responsibility when operating the forklift. The objective of this research is to reduce the likelihood of accidents and forklift damage due to improper use. The study produces a forklift design equipped with supporting components for the implementation of the device and a website as a monitoring platform for forklift operators and workers, providing real-time access to collected data. This system enhances operational safety in operating forklifts. The research significantly contributes to the development of safer and smarter forklift technology, aligning with strict demands for safety standards and risk management in industrial environments.

The Batubrak mini hydro power plant intake area in Lampung province of Indonesia has experienced landslides, prompting the need for an early warning system. This study presents the development of a cost-effective and efficient real-time landslide monitoring and warning system. The system incorporates sensors to measure accelerometer and vibration parameters, enabling real-time data display through a wireless sensor network and SCADA software. Early warnings are issued when triggers are activated. Three sensor nodes were deployed in the intake area for testing, demonstrating their ability to detect, collect, process, and transmit accelerometer and vibration data to the gateway node.

Abstract

Three-phase induction motors are the most widely used type of motor in industry. These motor operations are generally susceptible to unbalanced voltage disturbances. This interference is caused by the loss of one or two phases on the input side of the motor. This source voltage disturbance then causes an unbalanced current which flows to the coil, causing a phase shift, overheating the coil, and if left for a long time, it causes the motor to burn out. The research aims to design and implement a combination of antiphase relay (APR) and overcurrent relay (OCR) to prevent voltage drops due to failure of one or two phases and overcurrent to prevent overheating and fires in three-phase induction motor coils. Motor testing is carried out by adjusting the magnitude of the three-phase motor source voltage in three testing stages, i.e., tests A, B, and C, under no-fault conditions, 1-phase open and 2-phase open conditions respectively. The direct test results are then validated with ETAP simulations. In direct testing, A, B, and C can produce a current and relay working time of 6 A-31.04 s, 7.1 A-20.98 s, and 8.3 A-14.93, respectively. Meanwhile, testing using ETAP simulation can produce current and relay working times of 6A-31.366 s, 7A-20.599 s, and 8A-14.822 s respectively. The combination of an APR and an OCR can detect and interrupt voltage drops and overload currents in systems connected to 0.75 kW three-phase induction motors in the industry.

Abstract

This paper presents the design of a wall-following robot (WFR) with a rotating sensor compartment to reduce the number of distance sensors used. Two infrared (IR) sensors were fitted in the compartment that rotates back and forth at 45°, producing four measurement values at each rotation cycle. The WFR was regulated using a novel control scheme of PID controller with an override mode. A discrete PID controller in position form was used to run the WFR to follow straight wall segments or walls turning left, while an override mode governed the WFR to follow walls turning right. The sampling time was set to 300 ms. The parameters of the PID controller were tuned using a trial-and-error method. The Mean Absolute Errors (MAE) was selected as the cost function. The WFR conducted twelve trial runs along a trial track with a length of 200 cm, consisting of one right turn and one left turn. The parameters that yielded the lowest MAE of 0.90 cm were used for further tests. Subsequently, a closed track for testing was constructed with a length of 845 cm, consisting of 7 right turns and 2 left turns. The WFR completed five test runs successfully, each elapsing the test track twice. The lowest MAE during the tests was 1.06 cm. The favorable performance of the proposed WFR strengthens future development efforts to equip the robot with more hardware to fulfill specific tasks and to put the completion time into optimization consideration.

Abstract

Conventional energy sources will run out if used continuously and damage the environment. Therefore, it is necessary to develop other energy sources that are safe, environmentally friendly, and inexhaustible known as renewable energy sources to meet energy needs in Indonesia. This article presents a review that discusses the protection of solar panels and PLTS. Solar panels are vulnerable to lightning strikes and other electrical disturbances, so an effective protection system is needed. This study uses a qualitative method through a literature study, reviewing various protection methods such as conventional and electrostatic lightning rods, good grounding systems, and overcurrent detection devices such as Solar Charge Controller (SCC) and Maximum Power Point Tracking (MPPT). In addition, battery protection with Automatic Transfer Switch (ATS) and Low Voltage Disconnected (LVD) is also discussed. Using Arduino Uno, ESP 32, and PLC, automation approaches offer real-time monitoring and control solutions for solar power plant performance. Innovations in the lightning protection zone concept and minimal quantity measurement schemes enable more cost-effective design of protection systems without reducing the level of protection. The results show that these various protection methods can provide effective and efficient protection for solar power plants, enabling optimization of system function and safety. In conclusion, the protection systems reviewed in this study offer a sustainable solution to Indonesia's energy challenges by utilizing the maximum potential of solar energy. The potential for further research is presented in this article to develop more efficient and effective protection methods.

Abstract

The electrical power distribution system is a part of the power system that distributes electricity from the transmission network to customers. In the distribution system, imbalances often occur due to the varying load profiles in each phase. This can cause voltage imbalances in the distribution system. This study aims to compare two power flow analysis methods, Backward/Forward Sweep and Current Injection. The study analyses the voltage and power loss conditions on each phase at each bus and line in the three-phase distribution system under unbalanced conditions. Simulations were conducted on two IEEE test buses, IEEE 19-Bus and IEEE 33-Bus with radial configurations. The power flow calculation results using the Backward and Forward Sweep method showed that in the IEEE 19-Bus system, the highest voltage drop percentage occurred on phase b at bus 19, at 3.14%, the highest voltage imbalance percentage occurred at bus 19, at 0.1409%, and the total active and reactive power losses were 7.352 kW and 3.164 kVAR. In the IEEE 33-Bus system, the highest voltage drop percentage occurred on phase c at bus 18, at 5.85%, the highest imbalance percentage occurred at bus 15, at 0.2077%, and the total active and reactive power losses were 19.107 kW and 8.22 kVAR. The percentage difference between the two methods used is less than one percent, indicating that both methods are sufficiently accurate in analyzing power flow in an unbalanced distribution system.

Abstract

Air defense radar is a system that detects the presence of one or more air objects at a certain distance, altitude, and direction. One type of air defense radar used by the Indonesian National Armed Forces (TNI) is the Thomson TRS 2215D. An essential part of the radar is the rotating part of the radar antenna support called the antenna pivot. The rotation of the radar antenna must constantly be monitored and controlled for rotational stability at a speed of 6 Rotations per Minute (RPM) with a maximum wind speed of 120 km/h to prevent damage to the driving gear. Stormy weather with high wind speeds can cause the rotation speed of the radar antenna to be uncontrollable, which can cause damage. The solution offered in this study is to build a safety system that will lock the radar antenna automatically when the wind speed is detected to exceed tolerances and maintain the security of the radar antenna and its support system. The safety system was designed using an ESP32 Wi-Fi device equipped with an anemometer wind speed sensor, a Liquid Crystal Display (LCD) monitor, a Direct Current (DC) motor, and a Blynk Internet of Things (IoT) application. The test was conducted in a simulation using a multi-meter and oscilloscope measuring instrument. Testing the radar antenna's safety system prototype on a laboratory scale shows that the safety system can work as designed. The system can lock the radar antenna when the airflow is set at a speed of 54 km/h or 15 m/s, communication with the Blynk server works well, and the ESP32 device can transmit data at a maximum distance of 14 meters.

Abstract

Solar panels exposed to solar radiation will produce heat, affecting their efficiency. A solution to this problem is integrating solar panels with thermoelectric generators that can convert thermal energy into electrical energy. In general, thermoelectric generators are equipped with heatsinks as heat absorbers. Many studies only look at the addition of heatsinks without examining the effect of the type of heatsink material used. Based on this background, this study identifies the effect of heatsink materials on the efficiency produced by solar panel thermoelectric devices. The purpose of this study is to determine which heatsink material can produce high efficiency in solar panel-thermoelectric devices. This research is useful for improving the efficiency of solar-thermoelectric hybrid devices. The novelty of this study is the selection of various heatsink materials that are directly tested against the efficiency of hybrid devices. The heatsink materials tested in this study were aluminum and copper. The equipment was tested by measuring the current and voltage generated by the solar panel-thermoelectric using a multimeter which was then used to calculate its power. The results showed that the hybrid solar panel-thermoelectric device with a heatsink made of copper produced a higher output power of 1.882 mW compared to aluminum material which was only 0.513 mW.
