Abstract

The power factor cos phi measures the efficiency of using electrical power in a system. A low power factor indicates the presence of high reactive power consumption, which can lead to increased energy losses and operational costs. To overcome this problem, an effective power factor regulation system is required. This research designed and developed the Cos Phi Trainer, which operates in two modes, manual and automatic, to improve the power factor at an electrical load. The system is designed to give users a practical understanding of measuring and improving power factors by setting up compensation capacitors. In manual mode, the user directly sets the value of the capacitor used to fix the power factor. While in automatic mode, the system uses current and voltage sensors to measure the power factor value in real-time and automatically adjusts the capacitor to achieve the optimal power factor. The trainer has an easy-to-use interface and a measurement panel that displays important parameters such as current, voltage, active power, reactive power, and power factor. The test results show that the system can significantly increase the power factor in manual and automatic modes. Thus, this Cos Phi Trainer is an effective tool for training in the laboratory of Indorama Engineering Polytechnic and teaching about electrical power management and energy loss reduction in the electrical system.   Keywords: Power factor, manual, active power, reactive power, trainer

Abstract

The kiln machine is one of the pieces of machinery used to produce granite tiles. One of its many crucial components is the towing motor. The production process requires a high-performance and easily accessible kiln unit because it lasts for 24 hours. As a result, there will be less downtime since the extra towing motor can take the place of the damaged one. The Terje Aven availability model calculates the number of towing motor reserves. The availability of kiln equipment has not yet achieved its full potential because the company currently has six backup towing motors.

Abstract

Financial time series is one of the most challenging applications of modern time series forecasting. The financial time series is closely related to noise, non-stationary, and deterministic chaos. The characteristics suggest that no complete information can be obtained from the past behavior of financial markets to fully capture the dependency between future prices and that of the past. The data collection method was collected from the Stock Market Online Application "MetaTrader version 4" type "Daily" with a time range from "03/09/2001 to 25/07/2012", as many as 2052 data", with the attributes "Date, Open, High, Low, Close, Volume" with the main attribute "Close" using the Support vector machine algorithm, artificial neural network, and multiple linear regression. The conclusion of the value that is close to the series value is the value by testing on the support vector machine algorithm, with the parameter for the RMSE value that is close to the "0" value obtained from the measurement results on the SVM algorithm on the RBF kernel (radial base function) with a value of "gamma" γ = 100 with the value of RMSE = 0.000, and SE = 0.000. with prediction accuracy error = 0.976

Abstract

This study investigates a family-run start-up business in which the company's finances are not separate from the family’s finances. The start-up business owner relies on the company's finances to cover the household spending from the beginning because the owner is not paid by the company. As a result, the company fails to grow and is on the verge of bankruptcy. This study focuses on developing a start-up business model that considers household spending as a decision variable allowing it to grow and develop. The System Dynamics approach was chosen due to the complexity of the trade-offs between variables in a start-up business model. The Cassava meatball start-up business run by Madrasah is used as an example. The developed model simulates a variety of treatments, including giving debt to develop start-up businesses. However, this debt can be burdensome because the company must pay it. The findings indicate that the use of income to cover household spending at the beginning is inappropriate while providing debt to revive the startup must be sufficient and timely. The developed model is expected to assist start-up business owners in selecting a variety of alternative policies that will allow the business to grow, develop, and be sustainable.

Abstract

CV X is a company engaged in beauty services such as nail and eyelash treatment. CV X has a problem: a lack of salon capacity due to the high customer demand. This caused lost sales of IDR 188,597,000 in 2022 because customers were rejected when they wanted to book due to full capacity. Therefore, the owner of CV X plans to increase the capacity of the Bintaro branch to minimize the occurrence of lost sales, which can cause significant losses. To improve this capacity, an analysis is needed to precede it so that CV X can determine whether this capacity-building plan is feasible from various aspects to minimize failures. The feasibility analysis of this capacity building will be carried out on five main determining aspects: market and marketing, operational, legal, financial, and environmental. The market and marketing aspects discuss the company's competitive strength, the potential for market growth, and marketing strategies. The operational aspect discusses the current capacity, plans to increase capacity and layout, and the number of human resources needed. The legal aspect discusses the best form of business entity and the necessary documents and requirements. The financial aspect discusses the feasibility of investment with projected demand estimates, HPP calculations, income statements, and cash flow statements. It assesses feasibility based on Net Present Value (NPV), Internal Rate of Return (IRR), and Payback Period indicators. After the research activities were conducted, the results were obtained that the market aspect was feasible because it had a significant market share and knew the best way to maximize the potential market share. The operational aspect is feasible because it knows the layout plan and the details of the number of workers needed. The legal aspect is feasible because it meets the legal requirements and knows the best form of business entity. The financial aspect is feasible because the projected value generated in the economic calculation exceeds all the indicators used: the NPV value of Rp3,139,234,978, IRR of 219%, and Payback Period of 0.66. The environmental aspect is said to be feasible because it can handle all the waste appropriately produced so that it does not pollute the surrounding environment.
