Abstract

In power system to optimized PMUs is a critical task to ensure maximum network observability while minimizing installation costs. This study presents a comparative analysis of three optimization techniques: Teaching-Learning-Based Optimization (TLBO), Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO), and a hybrid TLBO-PSO approach, focusing on their efficiency in determining the best PMU placements. Individual methods, such as TLBO and PSO, are often limited by longer computation times and the requirement for a higher number of PMUs to achieve full observability. In contrast, the hybrid TLBO-PSO method demonstrates significant improvements, consistently delivering solutions with fewer PMUs, faster computation times, and higher placement accuracy. By evaluating performance of these techniques on IEEE 14bus, 30bus and 57 bus systems through simulations conducted over 100 iterations for each method in every test case. The results highlight the hybrid approach's superior efficiency compared to individual methods. Furthermore, comparisons with prior research confirm that the hybrid TLBO-PSO approach is a robust and reliable solution for minimizing PMU installations while ensuring complete system observability.

Abstract

Urban air pollution, significantly influenced by vehicle emissions, poses severe health risks, particularly in rapidly urbanizing cities. This study investigates real-world emissions from diesel-powered passenger cars under mixed traffic conditions, focusing on compliance with Bharat Stage VI (BS VI) standards. Using Portable Emission Measurement Systems (PEMS), emission factors for Carbon Monoxide (CO), Oxides of Nitrogen (NOx), and the combined mass of Hydrocarbons and Oxides of Nitrogen (THC + NOx) were measured. Results revealed exceedances of 75%, 103.75%, and 40.59% for CO, NOx, and THC + NOx, respectively, underscoring inefficiencies in emission control technologies. Variability in emissions was linked to vehicle age, maintenance, driving behaviors, and challenging road conditions. These findings highlight the critical gap between laboratory-tested and real-world emissions, emphasizing the need for stricter regulations, advanced emission technologies, and public awareness campaigns. The study offers actionable insights for urban air quality improvement and policy development to reduce vehicular pollution.

Abstract

One form of employee behavior is the desire to leave (turnover), where employees decide to leave their jobs. The employee turnover rate over the past three years at PT. Daya Tani Sembada has been above the normal limit each year, indicating that the company's turnover is high. This may suggest potential issues in human resource management or a mismatch between employees and the organization. Due to the high turnover rate, the company needs to conduct recruitment to replace these employees in order to maintain performance levels. Therefore, the researcher aims to understand the influence using the Partial Least Squares (PLS) method. Based on this research, it can be determined that job demands influence job satisfaction mediated by the work-life balance variable, and there is no influence of job resources on job satisfaction mediated by the work-life balance variable.

Abstract

Currently the industry is experiencing an increase every year. One of them is the furniture production industry. In East Java there is a furniture industry which experiences an increase in production demand every year. This does not only apply to local consumers but also foreign consumers. PT XYZ implements a make to order system, namely products are made when consumers order them. The amount of production demand is directly proportional to the amount of industrial waste produced, but the company has never carried out an analysis of the impacts. Therefore, this research will discuss environmental impact analysis using life cycle assessment to calculate the life cycle value of the production of a furniture product with cradle to gate limitations. This research was assisted by OpenLCA 2.1.0 software using the Agribalyse_301 database and then for impact assessment using the EDIP 2003 method. After calculating, recommendations for improvement were looked for to reduce the resulting environmental impact. The results of this research for 1 unit of table product production are 3.51166 Pt. The highest impact was produced by the production process, namely Ozone depletion of 0.58215 Pt. This impact can pollute the environment due to the large use of electricity. It is best for companies to use electricity from renewable sources.
