Abstract

Abstract- Demineralized water is water that does not contain high minerals or chemicals, and is used as feed to the boiler to produce steam. Demineralized water is very important in the PLTU (Steam Power Plant) industry because steam is produced through the process of changing the phase of water to steam. Natural water tends to be corrosive because it contains minerals such as high calcium and magnesium, which can cause scale in the boiler and reduce energy efficiency. Therefore, these minerals must be removed from the water so that they can be used as boiler feed. To produce demin water, PT. BAI uses a Water Treatment Plant (WTP) system which consists of several stages, such as a clarifier, a three-layer filter, an automatic cleaning filter, ultra-filtration and reverse osmosis. After going through these processes, demin water is stored in tanks and then flowed to the main plant. There are several factors that can interfere with the demin water production process at PT. BAI, including changes in water quality, problems with WTP equipment, and disturbances in the water distribution system. This study aims to maintain the reliability and efficiency of the demin water production process, by carrying out routine maintenance on equipment, monitoring water quality by checking conductivity, pH levels, and produced water. Then from the data obtained it can be seen that the efficiency of demin water has met the operating standards and procedures set by PT.BAI, namely desalination levels above 90%. The division must also always be ready to deal with problems that occur and take preventive actions to prevent disruption to the production process.

Abstract

Currently, Indonesia's energy is running out andhas received serious attention so the Government targets thatby 2050 the role of renewable energy will be at least 31%. Thisencourages the production of various alternative energysources that are environmentally friendly and available, suchas solar power plants. However, solar intensity and a dynamicenvironment strongly influence the output power generated bysolar panels. So in this research, an asynchronous buckconverter design using MPPT will be made to track themaximum power point of solar panels with the fuzzy logiccontroller method which will be applied to Monocrystallinesolar panels with a capacity of 300WP. Fuzzy MPPT will adjustthe duty cycle by PWM Arduino Nano on the asynchronousbuck converter to keep reaching the maximum power point.The results show that the developed system can increase powerconversion efficiency and maintain output voltage stabilityunder various operational conditions. The implementation ofFLC as MPPT on Asynchronous Buck Converter successfullyoptimizes the power absorbed from solar panels, thussupporting the reduction of electrical energy consumption fromPLN in the Jakarta Global University student associationsecretariat building. This implementation is expected to be areference for the implementation of a smarter and moresustainable energy management system in the future.

Abstract

Fire is a disaster that is often encountered throughout the year. This research aims to protect and mitigate the worst possibility of a fire disaster. A PLC automatically creates the work system of this tool, using it as the controller. This tool utilizes two sensors: a smoke detector and a heat detector. Two smoke detectors and one heat detector automatically make the system, each providing input to the PLC. The system splits into two parts: Alarms 1 and 2. If any of the three sensors send input to the PLC, Alarm 1 triggers a buzzer and a yellow light. Alarm 2 occurs if 2 or 3 sensors provide input to the PLC and provide output as the bell lights up, the flash lights up, and the solenoid opens to release Co2 into the room.

Abstract

In the industrial era 4.0, every industrial tool or equipment and building already uses automation via IoT, especially in public street lighting. Using a SMART-PJU-based LoraWAN system can minimize electrical energy use by using dimmer schedule control and ON/OFF schedule control. Using a dimmer schedule for PJU lights, the energy is set maximum of 10 amperes depending on the dimmer module used. The SMART-PJU has a LoRa module to control and monitor them via a wireless network. This research used the LoRa-EBYTE E32-DTU(915L20) module as the data sender and receiver. LoRa-EBYTE E32-DTU(915L20) with a frequency of 915 MHz to 931 MHz and an RS232/RS485 connector. The furthest distance that can be reached during testing at the Jakarta Global University campus, with a frequency of 922 MHz, is 450 meters, 344 meters, and 215 meters at three different points. The SMART-PJU system can regulate light, ON/OFF control, and ON/OFF schedule and can see the on or off status of the digital output on the Arduino. To ensure the module is on or off. Furthermore, it can monitor electricity usage in the PJU, such as power, voltage, current, power factor, and frequency, via the PZEM-016 sensor. The comparison value using the dimmer schedule at 12 hours is 375.62 Wh without the dimmer, 1085.04 Wh, and the average comparison error value of the PZEM-016 sensor reading with a multimeter is 0.1 current, 0.009 voltage, 0.3 power at each dimmer setting from 20 to 80. All data are obtained and viewed using Node-red software. By using Node-red software, users can control and monitor easily because Node-red uses language and displays that are easy for users to understand.

Abstract

Electricity has become one of the most crucial components of life. The steam power plant (PLTU) is the most significant contributor to the power supply process in Indonesia, with an installed capacity of 29.57%. A review of each component is required to support the sustainability of the production process at PLTU. This research discusses the heat exchanger's components in the refrigeration system at PT. XYZ. The cooling system in PLTU plays a vital role in preventing overheating of the power plant components, which can cause an interruption of the energy generation process. Following this, research was carried out on the influence of load changes on the efficiency of heat exchangers in PT. XYZ cooling systems using observation methods, interviews, and literature studies. Such methods produced data that could be used to calculate the efficiency value. From the results of the investigation, it was concluded that the performance of the PT. XYZ heat exchanger was at its best at maximum load with an efficiency presentation of 68.29% and at its lowest at minimum load with an effectiveness presentation of 59.95%. However, the value was still below the standard value of efficiency of the heat exchangers, which is 75%, so it required more intensive treatment to improve its efficiency value.

Abstract

Conventional transportation methods result in the release of harmful greenhouse gases into the environment. Electric vehicles offer an alternative to mitigate this environmental harm. Electric Vehicle Charging Stations (EVCS) are crucial infrastructure components for supporting electric vehicles.  Photovoltaics represents a facet that can be integrated into EVCS to improve eco-friendly power generation. Various factors, including temperature, humidity, and light intensity, influence electricity generation in photovoltaic (PV) systems. This research examines the consequences of temperature, humidity, and light intensity fluctuations within EVCS. During the system integration testing conducted between 09:00 and 16:00, it was noted that there is an inverse relationship between air humidity and temperature; when air humidity increases, temperature decreases, and vice versa. The solar panel exhibits its highest sunlight intensity reception between 09:30 and 15:30. The peak power output from the solar panel was registered at 13:00, with an air temperature of 40.40 °C, air humidity at 35%, and light intensity at 54.61 Cd, resulting in a solar panel power output of 146.1 Watts. Conversely, the lowest power output from the solar panel was observed at 16:00, with an air temperature of 31.80 °C, air humidity at 54%, and light intensity at 39.39 Cd, leading to a solar panel power output of 107.36 Watts. Anticipated findings from these analyses are expected to contribute to future technological advancements, enabling the creation of competitive products in the market.

Abstract

The H-type Darrieus turbine is a vertical windturbine that is used to convert wind energy into mechanicalenergy by utilizing lift force. This research is aimed at making amodified H-type Darrieus turbine blade model from a NACA0018 profile blade to a NACA 0018 blade with a chordlineprojected radially to the turbine diameter and the second resultis to compare the performance of the NACA 0018-based radialprojection blade to the performance of the NACA 0018 blade.This is preparation for searching literature, design making,manufacture of NACA 0018 blade test specimens and NACA0018 based radial shadow blades, assembly and installation oftest equipment, testing and data collection of wind turbineperformance, data processing and analysis, final results. Thevariables tested were wind speeds of 7 m/s, 8 m/s, 9 m/s, 10 m/s,11 m/s, 12 m/s. The test results show that the higher the TSR, thehigher the resulting power coefficient (Cp) until the maximumCp is reached. After that, the increasing TSR, the resulting Cp isgetting smaller. The test results show that projection bladesbased on NACA 0018 and NACA 0018 blades produce a smallmaximum Cp, respectively 0.082 and 0.124 compared to theDarrieus turbine maximum Cp reference on the vertical turbinecharacteristic chart, which is 0.4. The NACA 0018-based radialprojection produces a lower Cp than the NACA 0018 blade atspeeds of 7 m/s, 8 m/s, 10 m/s, 11 m/s, 12 m/s. At a wind speed of9 m/s the projection blade based on NACA 0018 produces ahigher power coefficient than the NACA 0018 blade. Projectingthe NACA 0018 blade chordline on the track causes the bladecross-sectional area and chordline length to shrink. The higherthe wind speed, the smaller the resulting Cp. The solidwallphenomenon affects turbine performance. Testing without loadat all wind speeds, the projection blade based on NACA 0018produces higher rotation than the NACA 0018 blade. Theparameter of the blade momentum affects the results of theturbine rotation when tested without load.

Abstract

Planting media for plants is very important because various kinds of ornamental plants used in housing can grow well according to the needs of their respective conditions. Soil moisture is generally defined as the water contained on the unsaturated soil surface of the Earth. Soil moisture has an influence on the level of moisture needed by plants. The use of soil moisture sensor YL-69s is very popular, especially in the last 2 - 3 decades, where these sensors can review soil moisture and soil conditions in percentage form. However, how can the value of the soil moisture sensor YL-69 itself represent actual conditions? For this reason, a design was carried out with the aim of seeing the linearity value of the sensor. In the overall test the average error value produced has reached less than 3%. In this study, "Nor" conditioning needs to be developed again to further specify whether the plant's moisture needs require a separate percentage to reduce the margin gap that appears at the transition between dry and wet conditions. In this study, using the YL-69 soil moisture sensor produced an error value up to 6.16%, especially in the "Nor" condition with a conditioning difference of 13%.
