Abstract

Large-scale compressed air equipment is the only way to meet the demand for air for production facilities such as the pharmaceutical, automotive, or combustion processes industries. As one of the main driving components in the air compressor system, the double screw determines the reliability and performance of the entire compressed air system. Double screw compressors are a promising option for use in large-scale compressed air systems due to their high efficiency and reliability. The double screw profile has been specially designed to increase compression capability over a period of more than 24 hours with a range of 400 to 385 m3 per hour. The cooling oil works well keeping the compressor temperature constant at around 100 0C, even though there are very active temperature fluctuations. On the working pressure side the compressor as a whole is constant, although there is a significant spike in the dryer pressure. The dryer pressure experienced a significant increase reaching 6.9 Bar in the sixth data collection, while the cooling oil pressure and tank pressure were the same at 6.6 Bar, and the air pressure was 6.3 Bar. The results of observing the performance of compressors during industrial operation have presented the ideal working conditions for double screw compressors reaching 58.4 kJ/kg, while the actual working conditions of compressors are 66.6 kJ/kg. Overall, the average compressor efficiency is 87.81%.

Abstract

AbstrakThis research is to determine the effect of air flow flowing through a 90 ° square elbow with the additional shape of a triangle inlet disturbance body. Simulations were carried out using the Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) method to analyze air flow characteristics and changes in flow patterns due to the presence of additional triangular shapes in the flow channel. Numerical simulations are carried out by taking the 90 ° square elbow geometry as the basic model and adding an additional triangle inlet disturbance body shape to it. The simulation results show that the triangle inlet disturbance body significantly influences the air flow inside the elbow. This effect can increase turbulence producing different pressure and velocity contours along the elbow. The effect of flow velocity on the flow in the elbow results in a higher velocity if the form of disturbance is also greater. This research could provide greater understanding of the influence of additional components on fluid flow in channels with similar geometries, opening up potential applications across a wide range of industries.Keywords”” Air flow simulation, Triangle Disturbance, Pressure, Speed

Abstract

Solar panels are a technology that utilizes solar energy to be converted into electrical energy. Solar panel technology can be used to generate electricity on a small scale to a large scale. The performance of solar panels depends on environmental factors, namely solar radiation, and temperature. Environmental factors will reduce the electrical efficiency of solar panels due to the increase in operating temperature of solar panels, the greater the temperature will affect their efficiency. Based on tests conducted on photovoltaic (PV) using halogen with different power, the greater the power value in halogen lamp light, the smaller the efficiency, while the greater the temperature of the solar module, the smaller the efficiency. The greater the increase in temperature, the PV efficiency tends to decrease. Based on the results of the study, it shows a significant correlation that, between PV surface temperature and PV efficiency is inversely proportional. While the effect of temperature on efficiency can be said to be quite influential, where in testing with a 300-watt halogen lamp the error rate or R value is 0.6339, while the 500-watt halogen R value is 0.8493 which means it is more accurate and the effect is quite strong.

Abstract

The flood disaster caused losses for PT PLN consumers whose areas were flooded. To prevent electric shock accidents due to flooding, PT PLN took steps to extinguish distribution substations whose areas were affected by flooding. This step was taken to maintain the safety of the flood-affected community from being electrocuted, but this resulted in a loss for PT PLN, namely the selling kWh that was not distributed. In this study, the method used is research and development, where the author makes an idea to overcome the problem of the length of power outage due to flooding by making a PHB-TR Control Prototype for Distribution Substations. Where this prototype is an innovation to replace the main switch on the PHB-TR with MCCB and MCB which are applied in the box panel. With this prototype, PT PLN officers can speed up the process of blackout areas experiencing flooding quickly by controlling the MCCB and MCB at the PHB-TR distribution substation from the PLN office, but still maintaining the reliability of the 20 kV Medium Voltage Network. This prototype is based on the Internet of Things that can be controlled remotely using the Blynk application that can be operated from smartphones and computers. This prototype design is expected to help PLN officers to cut off the PHB-TR load from the PLN office or remotely, as well as some of the benefits that PT PLN can receive from this tool innovation, namely saving kWh that is not channeled and a positive image for PT PLN will be maintained by maintain the reliability of the electrical distribution system.

Abstract

This paper addresses the global challenge of sustainable energy, exploring alternatives to dwindling fossil fuels and rising CO2. While renewables like solar and wind offer potential, they face geographical and intermittent limitations. Thermal and nuclear energies are discouraged due to severe environmental and health impacts. Hydropower emerges as a highly reliable and favored global solution, harnessing energy from flowing water, tides, and dams. It's the most prevalent renewable source for electricity, offering consistent, dependable, and emission-free supply. The Francis turbine is crucial to hydropower, known for its high efficiency. Its spiral casing, runner, and guide vanes efficiently convert water's energy into electricity. Water flows from a reservoir to the turbine, where guide vanes regulate entry to the runner, driving a generator. Our analysis reveals key factors affecting hydropower performance: energy source, guide vane opening, servomotor performance, and governor control system. Sediment accumulation at the inlet causes head loss, reducing optimal output. Misaligned guide vane openings can drop rotational speed, leading to suboptimal load. Servomotor issues like wear also require maintenance. A 5% speed drop setting effectively manages water pressure and flow, enabling smooth load escalation.
