Abstract

This research evaluates the performance of WiFi networks based on the Universal Mobile Telecommunications System (UMTS) backbone on the Commuter Line (CL) to identify technical issues in providing stable internet services in public transportation with high mobility. The main gap lies in the inability of the existing infrastructure to maintain service continuity when the train is mobile compared to when it is immobile. This research uses an experimental method involving three testing scenarios (using a backbone modem, a signal measurement system, and a smartphone device); the study measures Quality of Service (QoS) parameters. Research results show that throughput passing through the UMTS backbone decreased by 16.8% to the DNS server and 12.68% to detik.com when the commuter line was in motion. Furthermore, packet loss passing through the UMTS backbone increased by 13.6% to the DNS server and 11.2% to detik.com when the commuter line was moving. Then, the round trip time passing through the UMTS backbone increased by 175.50% to the DNS server and 179.25% to detik.com when the commuter line was in motion. These results confirm that high mobility causes significant signal degradation, making current UMTS networks not yet capable of supporting users' broadband needs inside train carriages. The contribution of this research is is recommending a new infrastructure design in the form of optimizing BTS placement or using train repeaters to address interference. Therefore, the conclusion of this research is the need to strengthen transmission in the CL so that the WiFi implementation can achieve the expected reliability standards.

Abstract

This study investigates a practical method to enhance the efficiency of a campus electrical distribution system by optimizing the control and power circuitry of a capacitor bank panel. The research addresses the persistent issue of low power factor and phase imbalance resulting from non-standard wiring configurations in existing installations. Unlike conventional maintenance procedures, the proposed rewiring strategy systematically redesigns the control and power connections to ensure accurate capacitor switching and reactive power compensation in accordance with operational load variations. A diagnostic improvement evaluation framework was employed, involving pre- and post-rewiring measurements of power factor, load current balance, and reactive power under both normal and full-load conditions. The rewiring intervention increased the power factor from 0.97 to 0.99 during normal operation and from 0.70 to 0.95 under full-load simulation (1100 kVA). These improvements corresponded to a measurable reduction in reactive power demand and overall system losses, indicating a substantial gain in energy efficiency and voltage stability. The findings confirm that targeted control circuit reconfiguration can significantly enhance the operational reliability of capacitor bank systems beyond conventional maintenance practices. This work contributes a replicable, technically validated approach for improving power quality in educational and industrial electrical installations.

Abstract

Using CHIRPS daily rainfall data (1981–2024) which is the standard climatological period according to the World Meteorological Organization (WMO) which is at least 30 years, rainfall anomalies during the dry season (May–October) are analyzed using the Z-score statistical approach. The 2025 prediction scenario integrates moderate El Niño (SST +1.0) and negative IOD (–0.5) as correction factors for the climatological average. Anomalous rainfall values ​​will be converted into z-score values ​​if Z>0 then the value is above the average (wet/hot) and vice versa if Z<0 the value is below the average (dry/cold). The results of the study indicate a significant potential for negative anomalies (Z-score < 0) in most areas of Palembang, indicating a decrease in rainfall below normal levels, with the peak of the dry season projected in August–September 2025. For the rainfall anomaly value, it has been converted into a z-score value that has been explained using the formula so that the significant climate trend in 2024 is 0.34 according to the Standardized Rainfall Index (SPI) in the normal or mild condition category. Finally, the rainfall prediction graph for 2025 shows the final results of the analysis process, namely the highest rainfall of 369.173 mm in April and the lowest rainfall of 60.12 mm in August.

Abstract

This study proposes a systematic framework for energy performance improvement in institutional facilities by integrating technical auditing with the ISO 50001:2018 standard. Utilizing the Plan-Do-Check-Act (PDCA) cycle, a comprehensive energy baseline for the ITPLN Building was established based on 2024 data, revealing an annual consumption of 1,405,600.80 kWh. In the Check phase, the calculated Energy Consumption Intensity (IKE) of 104.78 kWh/m²/year classified the building as Efficient under ESDM Regulation No. 3/2025. Quantitative analysis identified HVAC (57%) and Lighting (18%) as primary drivers, necessitated by an average ambient temperature of 30°C. To address inefficiencies, the Act phase formulated strategic Energy Saving Opportunities (ESO) such as LED retrofitting and AC standardization. These interventions are projected to reduce consumption by 42,168.02 kWh/year, lowering the IKE to 101.6 kWh/m²/year—a 3% efficiency gain. The study concludes that integrating ISO 50001 with physical audit data provides a replicable and economically measurable strategy for optimizing energy performance, with systematic maintenance recommended to ensure long-term operational sustainability.

Abstract

This study presents the design and validation of an Internet of Things (IoT)–based real-time vibration and temperature monitoring system for industrial machinery using an ESP32 microcontroller and MQTT communication. The proposed system addresses limitations of periodic manual inspection by enabling continuous monitoring with on-device signal processing and direct compliance evaluation with ISO 10816-3. The main contribution of this work is the implementation of ISO-based vibration severity classification directly at the edge level, integrating multi-sensor acquisition with real-time Root Mean Square (RMS) and Fast Fourier Transform (FFT) processing without relying on predictive or machine learning algorithms. This architecture enables low-latency decision support, reduced bandwidth usage, and improved system independence from cloud computation. The system integrates two ADXL345 vibration sensors and two temperature sensors into a single ESP32 node for synchronized monitoring. Experimental validation on an industrial reciprocating compressor demonstrated stable data acquisition and 100% communication availability during testing. RMS vibration values ranged from 2.15 to 2.17 mm/s, with operating temperatures around 67 °C. FFT analysis identified dominant frequencies consistent with machine characteristics. According to ISO 10816-3 classification, the monitored condition was within safe to early warning levels, confirming the reliability and practical feasibility of the proposed edge-based monitoring approach for condition-based maintenance.

Abstract

River pollution caused by waste accumulation, especially plastic waste, has become a significant environmental problem in urban areas. Rivers act as transportation routes that carry waste from land to sea and contribute to global plastic pollution. Various Internet of Things (IoT)-based water quality monitoring systems have been developed to monitor environmental conditions in real time. However, most existing research still focuses on monitoring environmental parameters without integrating with automatic waste transport mechanisms or independent energy sources, which limits the effectiveness of the system, especially in river locations far from electricity sources. This study proposes SIPANDU (Integrated River Waste Monitoring System), an IoT-based system that integrates direct river condition monitoring, waste transport mechanisms using automatic conveyors, and the use of renewable energy through solar power plants. This system consists of a 100 Wp solar panel, a battery for energy storage, water quality sensors (pH and TDS), an ultrasonic sensor to detect the presence of waste, and a web-based monitoring platform for real-time data visualization. The test results show that the solar panels produce a maximum power of 61.1 W with an average power of around 41.87 W. The conveyor system is capable of transporting up to 5 kg of waste with an average power consumption of 33.43 W. The integration of the IoT system, renewable energy, and automatic waste transportation shows that SIPANDU can function as a river monitoring system as well as a sustainable technology solution for waste management in rivers.

Abstract

Electrical power distribution in heritage conservation areas faces the dual challenge of meeting modern technical standards while adhering to strict preservation regulations. Traditional centralized low-voltage systems often result in critical voltage drops and power losses due to extended feeder lengths. This study proposes and evaluates an optimized Zonal TM/TR-Package distribution system as a solution. Using ETAP 22.5 software, a comparative load flow analysis was conducted on a 20-hectare government heritage complex comprising 21 protected buildings. The simulation results confirm that the proposed zonal configuration significantly outperforms the existing centralized system, reducing maximum voltage drops from 12.04% to 4.48% and decreasing total active power losses (I2R) by 47.6%, and improving system efficiency from 95.32% to 97.50%, ensuring full compliance with PUIL 2020 safety standards. Critically, the reliability assessment — evaluated using SAIDI and SAIFI indices — demonstrates a 37.44% improvement in SAIDI (from 9.27 to 5.80 hours/customer/year), while SAIFI remains stable at 0.77 interruptions/customer/year, confirming that zonal fault isolation substantially reduces outage duration without increasing interruption frequency. Furthermore, the modular design minimizes physical footprint, preserving the site’s aesthetic value. Beyond a case study, this research contributes to electrical engineering science by establishing a replicable technical framework for revitalizing heritage infrastructure, balancing efficient power delivery with architectural conservation.
