Abstract

This study tries to determine the level of change in short-circuit fault currents on certain buses in the Andalas University distribution network due to the installation of a new generator. Simulation of load flow and short circuit faults uses a 20 kV Andalas University distribution network system model to which a renewable generator with a capacity of 200 kW will be added. The simulation results of the load flow on a 20 kV distribution system paralleled with DG show that the voltage drop is still in accordance with the provisions of PT. PLN, this is due to the voltage drop in the distribution system is not up to 10% of the nominal 20 kV. While the short circuit simulation results, the largest single-phase and three-phase short-circuit current values occur at the Nursing_P location of 9.362 kA. However, the short circuit capacity has not yet reached a maximum voltage of 20 kV 500 MVA or 14.4 kA. So that the amount of short circuit current contributed by Nursing_P is within normal limits and does not require additional equipment to protect the fault current.

Abstract

Renewable energy generated from sunlight (Solar Panels) can be formed as alternative energy that can be applied to a source of electrical energy in rice thresher equipment. The use of solar energy with a power of 240 WP through the object on the rice thresher is able to replace the rice thresher automatically which is more effective. The power generated by solar energy will be processed into a charging source for the Regulated Battery Charger which can be supplied at a voltage to the control circuit to drive the DC motor. The average voltage generated by solar energy is 0.000394 volts/lux with a maximum voltage of 36.2 volts and a DC motor of 350 watts. In addition, the speed of this rice thresher is 950.8 rpm and is able to produce very good rice cutting against the designed solar energy capabilities.

Abstract

Indonesia has enormous biomass resources due to its land territory is mostly surrounded by forests and agricultural area. One of the main agricultural commodities is Gayo Arabica coffee. Coffee agro-residue such as coffee-pulp contains glucose, organic matter, protein, nitrogen and high minerals. Therefore, coffee pulp can be a potential raw material for bioethanol production. In order to develop an effective technology for bioethanol production from coffee-pulp, it is necessary to investigate in early the way of glucose can be effectively prepared. In this preliminary investigation, glucose products ware prepared using two methods, i.e. method-I under several main-stages including extraction, delignification, and hydrolysis. While, under method-II, the sample was directly hydrolyzed at 100°C for 4 h. Under both methods, hydrolysis process to get glucose was performed by adding sulfuric acid (H2SO4) at various concentrations (8 wt.%, 10 wt.% and 12 wt.%). Based on analysis results, the highest glucose level, i.e. 17 % was obtained from method-II by adding 8 wt.% sulfuric acid. The less the amount of sulfuric acid added, the higher the glucose level produced. No difference in pH was found from both methods. The color of glucose produced under method-I is clearer compared to those prepared under method-II.

Abstract

In a three-phase system, the difference in the angle between the phases and the phase sequence of the system is very important to ensure the system functions normally and does not cause damage to the three-phase equipment connected to the system. Trigonometric formulas in multiphase systems are used to obtain the angle difference between the phases and the sequence of phases in the system. The trigonometric formula was tested in a simulation using MATLAB software, then applied to an Arduino Mega-based system. In the simulation, the data are two voltages vs. time with a certain phase angle difference, then using the trigonometric formula in the MATLAB program, the data is recovered from the phase angle difference and the direction of rotation of the two voltages. Based on the valid MATLAB simulation test results, the program algorithm is embedded in an Arduino Mega-based system equipped with 2 voltage sensors and a 2.4-inch TFT LCD. The Arduino Mega-based system has succeeded in detecting and visualizing in the form of a graph the angle difference between the phases and the direction of rotation of the three-phase system.

Abstract

Distributed Generation (DG) is a small capacity generator located in the electricity distribution system and is usually placed on buses that are connected directly to the load. Placement of distributed generation is one of the technical efforts to reduce voltage drop and power losses in the system. In addition, load flow analysis is a study to plan and determine the amount of power in an electric power system. The results of power losses after adding distributed generation were the best in the fifth experiment on bus 149, where the system experienced a total loss of active power (P) previously of 720,822 kW, to 682,939 kW and total loss of reactive power (Q) previously of 530.02 kVar, to 405.835 kVar. From the results of the calculation of the power flow using ETAP software (Electrical Transient Analyzer Program). So, it can be concluded that the electrical network system can be said to be good. The results obtained are the more DG (wind turbine generator) that is input into the bus it will reduce the voltage drop that occurs. After simulating the overall voltage drop, it still meets the standards according to the results of the Text Report on ETAP.

Abstract

This study attempts to identify the causes and possible solutions for voltage profile issues in the lower land of Nepal, and is specifically focused on Laukahi feeder, a radial distribution system with an approximate length of 65 km and distributed at 11KV system voltage. Currently, the end-users feeding through this feeder are getting extremely poor voltage along with frequent interruptions in the power supply. In this study, a forward/ backward sweep algorithm is used to analyze the load flow of the distribution system, whereas ant colony optimization (ACO) technique is used to identify the best location for the Distributed Generator (DG) penetrations. After completion of this study, it is found that, the branch loss of the feeder can be reduced up to 87.22%, and voltage profile can be improved from 0.828 pu to 0.982 pu by integrating some form of DGs.

Abstract

The reliability and stability of the system in the operation of the electric power system is very important, in order to provide comfort in service to consumers. The transformer is a very important component in the electric power system, because it is used as a voltage adjuster for the load being served. This study discusses the effect of loading and temperature on the life shrinkage of 36/60 MVA power transformers in block 3 and block 4 carried out at PT. PJB UBJ O&M PLTMG Arun Lhokseumawe, Aceh. From the calculation results after 4 years the transformer operates, if the transformer is given a 100% load, the transformer will experience an age difference of 2.52 p.u/day so that it has a remaining life for of 10 years. As for the transformer that is given a load of 90%, the transformer will experience an age difference of 1.44 p.u/day so that it has a remaining life to perform operations for another 18 years. Then for a transformer that is given a load of 80%, the transformer will experience an age difference of 0.67 p.u/day so that it will have a remaining life to carry out the operation again for another 38 years. From the above calculation, the origin of the temperature obtained for the ONAN type of cooler in block 3 is 0.71 p.u/day and in block 4 it is 0.70 p.u/day. While the ONAF type of cooler in block 3 is 0.004 p.u/day and in block 4 it is 0.005 p.u/day. This is in accordance with the regulation SPLN50/1982 regarding transformer life shrinkage.

Abstract

Increasing unplanned energy demand increase has led to network congestion, increases power losses and poor voltage profile. To decrease these effects of an unmanaged power system, distribution network reconfiguration provides an effective solution. This paper deals with improving the power losses and poor voltage profile of the Phulchowk Distribution and Consumer Services (DCS) via the implementation of an optimum reconfiguration approach. A Genetic Algorithm (GA) is developed for the optimization. Further, it tries to answer to what extent can we improve the distribution system without overhauling the entire network. The developed simulation algorithm is firstly put into work on the IEEE 33 bus system to better its voltage profile and the poor power losses. The effectiveness of the developed system is validated as it reduced the voltage drop by 5.66% and the power loss by 25.96%. With the solution validated, the algorithm is further implemented in the case of Pulchowk DCS. After reconfiguring the system in different individual cases, optimum network reconfiguration is selected that improved the voltage profile by 3.85%, and the active and reactive power losses by 44.29% and 45.54% respectively from the base case scenario.
