Abstract

Mini-hydro Power Plant (PLTM) is one of the hydroelectric power plants of choice where PLTM utilizes water energy which has a flow capacity that is not too large. The Padang Guci PLTM with a capacity of 3x2 MW is located in the Air Padang Guci River, under the auspices of PT. Sahung Brantas Energi in collaboration with the Kaur district government to improve electrical energy services to the community. The electrical energy produced by the Padang Guci PLTM is highly dependent on the flow capacity of the Padang Guci river. The data collection process is carried out to retrieve data about voltage, current, time, and electricity production generated by the generator. The electricity produced by the generator can be seen in kWh in the control room. Data on electricity production, current, and voltage on the kWh meter are then inputted into the computer in the operator's room. Every half hour the data is recorded in the table, the daily data table will be entered into excel and will be inputted into the monthly data. Total electricity production during July 2021 is 1,444,252 kWh and the average daily electricity production is 46,588.77 kWh. With the highest daily electricity production, which is 77,644 kWh, the main cause of the increase in electricity production is due to rain which causes flooding in the river flow so that the turbine operates optimally, because the flow rate required is sufficient to power the three turbines to a maximum of 2 MW. Then for the lowest electricity production, which is 5,124 kWh, due to trips and less flow rate.

Abstract

The generator in the hydropower system is used to convert mechanical energy originating from the turbine rotation into electrical energy by producing an electromotive force. Excitation is one of the most crucial parts of the Generator system, where excitation plays a role in forming/producing electromagnetic flux, resulting in an induced emf. The amplifying current is used to adjust the magnitude of the output voltage according to the applied load. The tool used to regulate the excitation current is the Automatic Voltage Regulator (AVR). The differential loading on the generator changes every time. Therefore a power plant must be able to generate electricity in accordance with the magnitude of the changing load. In power generation, these loading fluctuations can be overcome by adjusting the water valve opening and the excitation current flowing to the electromagnet coil on the generator rotor with constant rotor rotation by the AVR so that electric power is generated according to the applied load. The purpose of this study is to analyze the effect of the load on the excitation current. The results obtained are the load has an effect on the excitation current.

Abstract

Additive Manufacturing (AM) is a production process that does not remove or remove some of the material in the production process but adds material. The added material is extruded by means of Fused Deposition Modeling (FDM) technique. The way it works is to create a number of layers or layers one on top of the other. The software application used is Inventor to create 3D models in the form of STL files. Then the STL file is opened in the Ultimaker Cura (UC) application, to create a Numerical Code in G-Code which is used as a control on a 3D printing machine. The filler material used to produce molds is Polylatic Acid (PLA). PLA filament is very widely used in the manufacturing process, because this PLA can produce strong and very neat prints. The general print temperature of PLA is between 180oC to 220oC. The purpose of this test is to find out the steps for implementing the AM process and to analyze the mechanical properties of the AM product using the FDM technique. In this study, the printed material was based on ASTM D638 type IV. This research was conducted to determine the effect of variations in infill and printing speed on printed results, with a horizontal orientation of the printing angle of 0o. The infill variations are line infill and concentric infill with printing speeds of 50mm/s and 60mm/s. The research procedure is to make a 3D printing model, the manufacturing process, and the testing process. The results showed that the choice of infill and speed printing variations had an effect on the mechanical properties. The mechanical properties of printing products differ according to the mode and speed. The infill line mode provides greater mechanical strength than that produced in concentric infill. At a speed of 60 mm/s, the product strength of the infill line mode is 32.5 MPa greater than the 27 MPa strength of the printed product from the concentric infill mode.
