Abstract

The rotational speed of a generator affects the frequency and voltage produced, where this change will affect the load side. For that we need a control equipment that can optimize the performance of micro-hydro. Therefore, we need a technology to optimize the performance of micro hydro by applying Load Frequency Control (LFC). LFC designed by implementing Superconducting Magnetic Energy Storage (SMES) and Capacitive Energy Storage (CES), this application will provide power compensation to reduce or even eliminate frequency oscillations caused by changes in consumer electrical power loads. To get optimal microhydro performance, it is necessary to set the right parameters for SMES and CES. SMES and CES parameter tuning in this study is proposed using the Bat Algorithm. The objective function used by this algorithm is to optimize the Integral Time Absolute Error (ITAE). For performance analysis, the system is tested with load changes, then the governor, turbine, and system frequency responses are analyzed. To test the reliability of the system, this study used several scenarios of a combination of control, SMES, CES, with conventional control based on Proportional, Integral, Derivative (PID). The right control parameters will improve system performance more optimally. Optimal system performance can be seen from the response of the governor, turbine, and minimum overshoot of the frequency, as well as the fast settling time for the system to switch to steady state conditions.

Abstract

Thermoradiative (TR) cells are energy conversion devices that convert low-temperature waste heat to electricity. TR cells work on the same principles as photovoltaics, but they produce a reverse bias voltage due to higher cell temperature than the environment temperature. Depending on the energy gap of the material, temperature difference would generate electrical energy by electron-hole pair recombination. In this work, we propose a two-dimensional (2D) InSe for applications in the TR cells. The electronic properties of 2D InSe are obtained by using first-principles calculations. Then, the calculated energy gap is used to estimate output power density and efficiency according to the Shockley-Queisser framework through a detailed balance model adapted with the TR cells. Using a heat source at  = 1000 K and the ambient temperature = 300 K, an ideal TR cell of 2D InSe at the maximum power point can achieve output power density and efficiency up to 0.061 W/m2 and 4.41%, respectively, with an energy gap of 1.43 eV. However, sub-bandgap and non-radiative losses will degenerate the cell's performance significantly.

Abstract

In construction, claims are usually a request for additional time, cost, or quality of work. A dispute will occur If the claim is not resolved correctly. In industrial revolution 4.0, we can use the Building Information Modeling (BIM) method to increase efficiency. BIM is a digital display containing all information about building elements integrated with the building's life cycle period. BIM will accelerate and reduce risks in construction, including the impact of claims. In Indonesia, several consultants/contractors have been implemented BIM in construction projects. This research aims to determine the effect of using 3D, 4D, and 5D BIM in construction projects for reducing claims to service providers as seen from the indicators on BIM 3D, 4D, 5D BIM. The research method used is a descriptive research method with a Q-method approach using closed survey research instruments to 37 contractor/consultant respondents who use BIM. The results obtained from the 3D BIM 4 indicators affect the reduction of claims. The 4D BIM indicator has two hands that affect the decrease in claims. The 5D BIM indicators all involve reducing claims.

Abstract

This study proposes a Fuzzy Goal Programming approach to optimize the problem of aggregate planning of production processes in companies that produce charcoal husks. The application proposed to the company describes the process of Rice Husk Charcoal Production taking into account the uncertain factors involved in the aggregate planning process of Rice Husk charcoal production. Decision-making related to the level of material needs in each type of rice husk charcoal product is considered based on planning for the next 12 months by including weighting value in membership function, determination of membership function of each function objectives with equivalent Crip of fuzzy goal programming. Fuzzification is based on three main objectives with three membership levels for each purpose of Goal Programming. This research provides the results of the proposed adaptive model applied to companies that produce charcoal husks.

Abstract

Shredded Waste Tires are industrial materials that can be used in the asphalt mixture. The use of tires increases every day, considering the number of vehicles that grow from year to year. Using used tires is highly recommended for efforts to reduce waste that will harm the environment. The research aims to see the effect of adding shredded tires in a pavement mixture based on Marshall Value. The AC-BC pavement layer is not directly in contact with wheel load. Still, it must have sufficient thickness and stiffness to minimise stress or strain from traffic loads continuously transferred from the top of the pavement. The most important characteristic of the AC-BC is its stability. The optimum asphalt content value in the AC-BC mixture is 6.81%, mixed with various shredded waste tires. The Asphalt Concrete-Binder Course blended with 1.5%, 3.5%, 5.5% and 7.5% of the various shredded waste tire. The optimum shredded tire content was obtained at 3.5%, with the stability value increased by 2.1% from 1581.98 to 1614.88 kg, with a flow value of 5.43 mm, and a Marshall Quotient value of 297.4 kg/mm.

Abstract

The use of a spray-dryer is very popular in the drying process in the food and beverage industry. However, due to the properties of the sensitive product that the quality will degrade in drying at high temperature, the innovative design of spray-dryer is developed which can increase the heat transfer rate at moderate temperature. This research was conducted to develop a spray-dryer design to improve thermal-hydraulic performance, with a high transfer rate and low-pressure drop at such a temperature. The design varies by several inlets categorized as design A with one inlet, design B with two inlets, and design C with three inlets. This simulation uses ANSYS FLUENT17, and the independence of the mesh was evaluated to improve the result of the simulation. The efficient mesh number is obtained from the independence of the mesh at around one million. The result shows that design C has the lowest pressure loss and the highest transfer rate due to high vortex and swirl flow generation, improving the mixture quality and direct contact between droplet and dry-air.
