Abstract

This study investigates the influence of duty cycle, inductance, and capacitance variations on the performance of a buck converter through simulation using PSIM software. The research aims to quantify how these parameters affect output voltage and ripple, which are key factors in achieving efficient and stable DC–DC conversion for renewable energy applications. The converter was modeled with an input voltage of 48 V, an intended output voltage of 24 V, and a switching frequency of 20 kHz. Simulation results show that the output voltage increases linearly with the duty cycle. At a 50% duty cycle, the converter achieved an output voltage of 23.9 V, confirming accurate voltage regulation. Furthermore, ripple voltage was found to decrease significantly with higher inductance and capacitance values, reaching a minimum of 0.1 V when L is 750 μH and C is 1,250 μF. These results demonstrate that optimizing LC parameters can substantially improve voltage stability and filtering efficiency. The findings provide practical design guidance for high-efficiency buck converters used in renewable energy and power electronic applications.

Abstract

Existing small-scale industries that use injection moulding machines employ manual machine operations. These manual operations result in fatigue and burns as the operators get into direct contact with the moulded part when ejecting it. Also, existing automated injection moulding machines are expensive. Hence, this work addresses the issues associated with the cost and the manual operation by employing a servo-electric hydraulic actuator to achieve the plunger mechanism, eliminating the fatigue involved with manually pushing the plunger. The ejection mechanism is performed automatically using NEMA 17 stepper motor, which moves half of the mould to eject the part. With temperature ranges up to 700 °C for the 27/5 cm mica heating bands and -200 °C to 1260 °C for the K-Type thermocouple used, all the recyclable types of plastics can be used as the raw materials for the injection process. The results obtained from the simulations using Proteus 8.13 show that the designed system can effectively and successfully improve the productivity and working conditions of operators. Cost analysis performed on the developed system showed that it was relatively cheaper with an estimated total cost of GH¢ 17,103.77 (USD 1,993.45).

Abstract

Fire incidents cause significant threats to life and property, particularly in critical infrastructure. This research presents the design and implementation of an Internet of Things (IoT)-based fire detection and suppression system featuring real-time monitoring and scalable sensor integration. The system integrates an ATmega328p microcontroller, RF transceivers, flame and smoke sensors, NodeMCU (ESP8266), solenoid valves, relays, a jockey pump, and water sprinklers. Sensor fusion ensures high detection accuracy, triggering suppression only upon simultaneous smoke and flame detection to minimize false positives. Communication between transceivers controls the pump operation, while the NodeMCU transmits sensor data to a remote web server via Wi-Fi for continuous monitoring. When a fire is detected by the sensors, the controller promptly activates the fire alarm system, which in turn triggers the jockey pump to discharge water through the sprinkler system at the affected locations.

Abstract

Exploring the potential of optical wireless communication for short-range audio transmission, this research investigates the design of a portable system leveraging the inherent benefits of light-based propagation, such as low power consumption, license-free operation, and enhanced security. While line-of-sight alignment is a key consideration in laser communication, this research outlines a practical approach to system development. A 650 nm laser diode serves as the carrier for the audio signal. The system architecture, comprising a transmitter and receiver, was initially designed and simulated using Proteus software. Each unit was individually implemented and tested to ensure optimal performance. Subsequent integration of these modules and careful line-of-sight alignment enabled successful audio signal transmission and reception. The audible output at the receiver is visually confirmed by a blinking speaker, demonstrating the feasibility of this optical wireless audio communication system. This work offers valuable insights into the design and implementation considerations for such portable applications.

Abstract

Traffic congestion remains a major challenge in Indonesian cities, where limited enforcement capacity has led to the emergence of Volunteer Traffic Regulators (Supeltas) as community-based traffic managers. This study evaluates the impact of Supeltas on traffic performance at a U-turn on Jl. Soekarno Hatta, Pekanbaru City. A mixed-method approach combining qualitative observation and quantitative road performance analysis was employed, following the Indonesian Road Capacity Guidelines (PKJI) and U-turn Planning Guidelines (PPPB). Traffic data were collected over two weeks under conditions with and without Supeltas. The results show that Supeltas increase vehicle volume at the U-turn (from 2,131 to 2,168 pcu/hour) but also reduce average speed (from 42 km/h to 37 km/h) and raise the degree of saturation from 0.36 to 0.49, shifting the Level of Service from B to C. These findings indicate that while Supeltas help manage driver behavior and encourage U-turn utilization, their presence also contributes to higher congestion levels due to inconsistent manual signaling. Improved Supeltas training and dedicated U-turn lanes are recommended to enhance operational efficiency and safety.

Abstract

Digital modulation techniques are fundamental to modern communication systems, enabling the reliable transmission of data over wireless, optical, and wired channels. This research focuses on designing, implementing, and visualizing three key digital modulation schemes: Amplitude-Shift Keying (ASK), Frequency-Shift Keying (FSK), and Quadrature Phase-Shift Keying (QPSK) using MATLAB Simulink and the Raspberry Pi 4 platform. Performance evaluation through oscilloscope visualization demonstrated robust signal integrity: the 2-ASK transmitter exhibited clear amplitude changes at a 15 kHz carrier frequency, accurately representing binary data with minimal observed noise (qualitative SNR improvement over unmodulated signals) and negligible distortion. The 2-FSK transmitter produced distinct frequency shifts between 4.8 kHz and 9.6 kHz, encoding binary 1 and 0 with low error potential in noise-free conditions, as confirmed by waveform observations. The QPSK transmitter displayed smooth phase transitions at 15 kHz, cycling through four phase states (45°, 135°, 225°, 315°), effectively doubling the data rate compared to BPSK while maintaining phase accuracy within hardware latency limits (approximately 10-20 ms processing delay). The ability to visualize and analyze these methods supports the development of improved modulation schemes, contributing to more efficient and robust digital communication systems.
