Abstract

Microhydro Power Plants (MHPP) are small-scale power generation systems that utilize water energy through head height and water flow rate. This study focuses on the Pelton turbine, an impulse turbine, and the implementation of an Internet of Things (IoT)-based monitoring system to enhance efficiency and operational stability. Fluctuations in voltage due to load variations are common in small-scale MHPP, highlighting the need for effective load regulation. The aim of this research is to explore the principles of load regulation and monitoring systems, as well as to evaluate the efficiency of the Pelton turbine-based MHPP integrated with IoT. The methodology employed is experimental, utilizing a prototype MHPP to test valve openings of 45° and 90° under IoT-based load regulation. The results indicate that system efficiency is inversely related to the load applied. The highest efficiency recorded at a 45° opening was 8.93% with a load of 6 Watts, while the lowest efficiency was 6.69% at a 17 Watt load. For the 90° opening, the highest efficiency was 8.83%, also occurring at a 6 Watt load. These findings underscore the necessity for efficient load management to optimize the performance of Pelton turbine-based MHPP.

Abstract

The utilization of renewable energy, which is currently a major focus due to the abundance of its raw materials and is highlighted by various countries, is the use of solar energy. Solar energy is a source of energy generated from abundant solar radiation that will never run out. Because solar energy can be accessed in almost all locations, it can be utilized, stored, and converted into electrical energy using existing technology. One technology that utilizes solar energy for conversion into electrical energy is solar panels. This research aims to design and develop a fish storage system that uses solar energy as the main power source. The research begins with the design and assembly of each component of the solar power system (PLTS) and the cooling system. Data collection is carried out by testing the assembled cooling system. Subsequently, the obtained data is analyzed to determine the Coefficient of Performance (COP). Based on this research, the maximum Coefficient of Performance (COP) of the tested cooling system is 0.173, with an observed COP range between 0.83 and 0.173. Testing was conducted under various operational conditions to evaluate the system's performance and find the optimal conditions.

Abstract

Penggunaan tungku biomassa tipe heat exchanger dalam proses pengeringan hasil pertanian merupakan solusi yang efisien dan ramah lingkungan untuk menggantikan metode pengeringan konvensional yang bergantung pada cuaca. Biomassa sebagai sumber energi terbarukan seperti sekam padi, tongkol jagung, dan limbah kayu memiliki potensi besar sebagai bahan bakar alternatif. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk merancang serta mengevaluasi kinerja tungku biomassa tipe heat exchanger yang digunakan pada sistem pengering hasil pertanian. Metode penelitian meliputi tahap perancangan alat, perakitan sistem, serta pengujian kinerja dengan menganalisis karakteristik perpindahan panas dan suhu udara pengering yang dihasilkan. Hasil pengujian menunjukkan bahwa tungku mampu menghasilkan suhu udara pengering pada rentang 40–80°C yang sesuai untuk proses pengeringan berbagai komoditas pertanian. Penggunaan bahan bakar biomassa menunjukkan karakteristik pembakaran yang berbeda, di mana sekam padi terbakar cepat namun kurang stabil, tongkol jagung menghasilkan pembakaran yang lebih stabil dengan kadar abu sekitar 1–2%, sedangkan limbah kayu memberikan pembakaran paling stabil dengan kandungan abu rendah sekitar 0,2–1%. Selain itu, sistem heat exchanger mampu memisahkan gas pembakaran dari udara pengering sehingga mencegah kontaminasi asap pada produk. Sistem ini juga mampu mempercepat proses pengeringan hingga sekitar 50% dibandingkan metode pengeringan alami. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa tungku biomassa tipe heat exchanger memiliki kinerja yang efektif dan berpotensi diterapkan sebagai teknologi pengering hasil pertanian yang hemat energi, ramah lingkungan, dan mendukung pemanfaatan limbah biomassa lokal.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the comparison of breakdown voltage between purified and non-purified transformer oil in the Unit 1 transformer at PLTA Malea. The research focuses on evaluating the quality of transformer oil as an insulating and cooling medium to maintain transformer performance and reliability. The research method used was an experimental method by conducting breakdown voltage (BDV) tests on transformer oil samples before and after the purification process. The testing was carried out using an Insulating Oil Tester in accordance with the IEC 60422-2013 standard, with an electrode gap of 2.5 mm, and each sample was tested six times to obtain the average breakdown voltage value. In addition, supporting tests including viscosity and moisture content measurements were conducted to evaluate the changes in the physical characteristics of the transformer oil. The results showed that the non-purified transformer oil had an average breakdown voltage of 55.11 kV, which was considered unsuitable for operation because it was below the minimum standard. After the purification process, the average breakdown voltage increased significantly to 77.95 kV and met the operational requirements based on the IEC 60422-2013 international standard. These results indicate that transformer oil purification is effective in improving dielectric strength and insulation quality, and therefore can be recommended as a preventive and corrective maintenance method to maintain transformer reliability and extend its operational lifespan.

Abstract

Empty palm oil bunches (EPOB) are one of the most abundant solid wastes generated from the palm oil industry, accounting for approximately 30–35% of fresh fruit bunch weight. Despite their availability, their utilization remains suboptimal, particularly as a renewable energy source. This study aims to design, fabricate, and evaluate the performance of an EPOB shredder intended to support co-firing applications in cement plants and coal-fired power plants. The shredder was designed to produce particle sizes of 8–12 cm with an initial target capacity of ±100 kg/h. The research was conducted at the Energy Laboratory of the Mechanical Engineering Department, Politeknik Negeri Ujung Pandang, over a four-month period. Experimental testing was performed at three rotational speeds, namely 1500 rpm, 2000 rpm, and 2500 rpm, to determine the optimal operating condition. The results show that the highest performance was achieved at 2500 rpm, producing a maximum capacity of 381.05 kg/h. Furthermore, the processed EPOB exhibited a calorific value of 4173.54 Cal/kg and a moisture content of 9.4%, indicating its suitability as an alternative fuel for co-firing systems. Although higher rotational speeds increased fuel consumption, the overall performance demonstrated a significant improvement in productivity and fuel quality. The developed shredder effectively enhances the physical characteristics of EPOB, enabling its utilization as a sustainable biomass fuel. This study contributes to waste management strategies and supports the transition toward renewable energy in industrial applications.

Abstract

Engine stand is an iron frame used as an engine mount. The working principle of an engine stand is to facilitate engine maintenance and repairs. Based on a case study conducted by the researcher, it was found that Politeknik Negeri Ujung Pandang Automotive Workshop did not yet have an engine stand, especially for the Suzuki ST 100 engine. This is also an obstacle when students carry out maintenance and repair practicums. The purpose of this study is to make it easier for students to carry out maintenance and repairs on the engine, so that the Suzuki ST 100 can be operated again as a learning medium for practicums. The place where the Engine Stand was made was at the Ujung Pandang State Polytechnic Automotive Workshop which was carried out from May to August 2024. The method in this study was to assemble the components on the frame, then install the engine on the engine stand that had been made, then overhaul the engine to ensure that the engine could work properly. The test results obtained were that all components could function normally again and the engine stand was safe to use because the strength of the engine stand frame to withstand an engine load of 90 kg, there was no change either bent or broken. The conclusion of this study is that the engine stand can be used as a strong engine mount and the Suzuki ST 100 engine can run normally after making several repairs and replacing its components.

Abstract

Abstract: Occupational Health and Safety (OHS) is a crucial aspect in industry, especially in preventing and addressing fire hazards that can cause major material damage and even loss of life. PT. Eastern Pearl Flour Mills currently has a fire pump system, but its operation is still done manually and is not yet equipped with real time monitoring, reducing operational efficiency and response to emergency conditions. This research aims to design an Automatic Fire Pump System capable of activating three types of fire pumps Jockey Pump, Electric Pump, and Diesel Pump automatically using a Smart Relay Zelio. In addition, the system is equipped with a real time pressure monitoring feature using Raspberry Pi Pico W connected to a Firebase platform, and displayed in a web interface. The system operates based ON inputs from pressure switches and 4–20 mA pressure sensors, which are converted into digital data via Raspberry Pi. In automatic mode, the Smart relay controls the pumps according to the pressure levels detected. In manual mode, the user can activate the pumps remotely through the Firebase-based web interface. The test results show that the system can operate properly in both modes, with accurate and stable pressure readings, as well as responsive pump control. The system significantly improves the speed of detecting low pressure, reduces the risk of manual failure, and enhances overall safety and operational efficiency of the fire protection system at PT. Eastern Pearl Flour Mills.
