Abstract

The non-communicable diseases have become the top cause of global mortality. One of them is stroke, which also become the first cause of disability worldwide. To help rehabilitate the upper extremities function of stroke survivors, a rehabilitation aid robot is developed, also to bridge the gap between patient and medical staff numbers. An end-effector-based rehabilitation robot is one proposed device. In this case, a switched reluctance motor (SRM) can be utilized as the actuator for its simplicity, robustness, high low-speed torque, and low cost. Thus, this paper proposes a design of SRM to be used as the actuator of an end-effector-based wrist rehabilitation robot. The proposed design is made based on the required torque. To extract the outputs, calculation and simulation using finite element magnetic FEMM 4.2 are conducted. The results show that the SRM produces enough torque, according to references. Moreover, rotor tooth width reduction is not preferred, as it increases the negative torque even though it raises the saliency ratio and cuts the mass of the motor.

Abstract

This paper proposes an event-triggered formation control scheme to manage the operation of multiple quadrotors in performing the inspection of a power transmission line. In particular, the problem of controlling such multi quadrotors to track the tower and/or cables of the transmission lines is considered. A multi-agent sliding mode control method is used for this purpose and is equipped with both a radial basis function neural network as an estimator of environmental wind disturbances, as well as an event-triggered scheduling scheme for the control execution framework. The proposed multi quadrotors control method is designed by considering the transmission tower/cable as the reference sliding surface. Simulation results are presented to illustrate the effectiveness of the proposed multi quadrotors control scheme when implemented in a case scenario of tracking the commonly-encountered shape of transmission cables. Simulation results are presented and show how the implementation of a position error-based event-triggered control enables all UAVs to track the desired position and maintain a pre-determined formation. In particular, all UAVs can minimize the tracking error within 0.05 m after reaching the desired positions since the control signal is updated if the error reaches such an error bound.

Abstract

Interest in utilizing new and renewable energy sources, commonly known as bioenergy, has significantly grown in the past decade due to the mounting environmental concerns, such as air pollution, global warming, and ozone layer depletion, resulting from the accelerated consumption of fossil fuels. Biogas, derived from the anaerobic decomposition of organic materials like cow dung, presents a viable solution due to its high methane content and calorific value. This study aims to assess the performance of biogas-fueled generator sets utilizing cow dung as the raw material for biogas production. The generator set employed has a power capacity of 2,500 Watts, and various load variations ranging from 150 to 350 Watts were applied. The parameters measured include voltage, current, biogas discharge, and efficiency. The findings indicate that the generator's output power for the five load variations of 150, 200, 250, 300, and 350 Watts are 150, 226.7, 266, 298.3, and 372.3 Watts, respectively. Moreover, the fuel consumption rates range from 0.013 to 0.009 kg/minute for the 150 to 350 Watts load, respectively. Notably, the 350 Watts loading exhibits the highest efficiency compared to other load variations, with an efficiency percentage of 14.51 %. This research advances our knowledge of the useful uses of biogas in generating systems, where its use is growing.

Abstract

Monitoring systems for On-Grid Photovoltaic Power Systems use IoT technology for real-time performance tracking via the Internet. Typically, these systems involve current and voltage sensors to measure Current, Voltage, Power, Energy, and Power Factor (Cos φ). However, many existing systems do not thoroughly address the accuracy of these measurements. To ensure reliability, a system must achieve measurement accuracy above 90%. This article presents an IoT-based On-Grid photovoltaic power monitoring system designed to measure electrical parameters with high accuracy. The system uses the PZEM004T sensor and NodeMCU ESP8266, which transmits data to the Blynk IoT server over an internet connection. The system's accuracy is assessed using the Mean Absolute Percentage Error (MAPE) calculation. Results show that this system achieves an accuracy of 96.37%, indicating high reliability and suitability for practical use due to its accuracy above 95%. This makes the designed system highly reliable, effective, and feasible for monitoring On-Grid Photovoltaic Power Plants.

Abstract

Indonesia has set a target to achieve a 23 % share of new and renewable energy (NRE) in its national energy mix by 2025. Sulawesi island has significant wind and solar energy potential, but the integration of these variable renewable energy (VRE) sources, such as solar photovoltaic (PV) and wind turbines (WT), poses challenges due to their fluctuating output. The aim of this study is to analyze the impact of battery energy storage systems (BESS) in reducing the intermittency of solar power generation and improving grid stability in North Sulawesi and Gorontalo. The study uses a combination of various technical simulations to assess the performance of BESS in stabilizing voltage and frequency fluctuations within the electricity system. The approach includes power flow analysis, transient stability testing, and short-circuit studies, with and without the integration of BESS. The results show that implementing a 10 MW/5 MWh BESS can significantly reduce frequency deviations, limiting frequency drops to 49.82 Hz during disturbances, compared to 49.67 Hz without BESS. In addition, BESS helps maintain voltage stability at critical substations by reducing voltage fluctuations by up to 40 %. This research demonstrates that BESS integration can enable a more stable and reliable grid, supporting the development of renewable energy without compromising power quality.

Abstract

A solar photovoltaic (PV) grid system with an Energy Management System (EMS) has been installed in Bilacenge, Southwest Sumba. This 400 kWp PV-Grid system is the first system in Indonesia that can control the electricity output to the grid. It comprises two battery blocks that support the system to maximize electricity generation. This study has been conducted to evaluate the installed PV-grid system with EMS compared to diesel generators commonly used in remote areas. The study employs various techno-economic methods, including life cycle cost (LCC), levelized cost of energy (LCoE), and economic feasibility analysis based on several parameters such as net present value (NPV), payback period (PBP), and benefit-cost ratio (BCR). The results show that the system will experience a return on investment after operating for 34 years, accompanied by a benefit-cost ratio value of 0.60, which indicates that the investment of this PV grid system is not economically profitable.

Abstract

The calciner in cement factories plays a crucial role, particularly in the decomposition of calcium carbonate (CaCO3) as primary raw materials into calcium oxide (CaO) and carbon dioxide (CO2), a significant contributor to greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. Hence, an integrated system has been proposed, combining conventional cement plants with calcium looping (CaL) cycles to reduce CO2 emissions. CaL facilitates the capture of CO2 by CaO, forming CaCO3 as raw material for cement production. Given that CaL effectively reduces CO2 emissions, the integration process with conventional cement plants requires careful consideration, particularly regarding raw materials, calciners, and carbonators. Integration parameters for CaL in raw materials include average diameter and logarithmic temperature difference. At the same time, calciners and carbonators encompass heat transfer coefficient (U), calciner dimensions, carbonation factor, and mass balance post-integration with CaL. These parameters will be calculated to facilitate the integration of the CaL cycle with conventional cement plants. In this study, based on raw materials with an average diameter of 3.28 µm and the mean heat transfer coefficient between hot gas and raw materials of 4 W/m2 K, the calculated dimensions for the calciner are 9.6 m in diameter and 25 m in height. Since the plant studied has two preheater strings, two carbonator units are also required. The size of each carbonator is 4.75 m in diameter with a length of about 40 m, so it has a total volume approximately equal to the volume of the calciner to provide a longer residence time for particles.
