Solar Power Generation System at Household Scale

Josephin Sundah — 2024-04-30

Solar power plants are renewable energy systems that utilize sunlight as a power source to generate electricity. The conversion of light energy into electrical energy is achieved through the photovoltaic effect. The process of converting solar energy into electrical energy is made possible by photovoltaic solar panels, which convert solar light energy into electricity. This technology began to be widely known and began to be widely used. Its use is widespread, ranging from large factories, office buildings, commercial buildings, shopping centers, hospitals, hotels, and households The purpose of this study is to know and analyze household-scale solar power generation systems. The method used in this study is a literature review, data used in the form of articles in electronic databases such as Google Scholar, in the period 2006 to 2023. The results showed that solar power plants (PLTS) are the right choice to overcome the energy crisis in Indonesia. Solar Power Plant Energy (PLTS) is abundant sunlight. Solar Power Plant System (PLTS) at the household level using Solar Home System (SHS) which is increasingly adopted in Indonesia (especially in households). The implication in this study is to provide a deeper understanding of household-scale solar systems, including the associated advantages and challenges. This can help individuals, institutions, and governments make better decisions regarding the use of renewable energy.

Arnold. R. Rondonuwu — 2024-04-30

The control of three-phase electric motors with manual forward and reverse control systems equipped with off-timers (TOF) is a production solution with a simple structure and relatively low cost compared to other systems. Three-phase induction motors typically work via electromagnetic induction from the stator winding to the rotor, making them the preferred choice in both large and small industries due to their accommotivity and efficiency. The purpose of this study was to determine and analyze the control of a three-phase electric motor with a manual back and forth control system equipped with a delay timer. The research method used is secondary data analysis from various relevant and valid sources. The results showed that the manual back and forth control system with TOF is very effective in moving production equipment efficiently and reliably. The implications of this study show that with current technological developments, the use of three-phase electric motors with manual back and forth control systems equipped with TOF has become very important in improving operational efficiency and effectiveness in the industrial world.

Implementation of the Principles of Agreement (Contact) in Islamic Bank Fund Raising Products

Riska Jamal — 2024-08-22

The significant growth of Islamic Banks requires them to be able to meet the needs of the community by offering various products, one of which is a fundraising product that is in accordance with Sharia Principles. In order to raise funds, Islamic Banks provide various forms of financing that have their own contracts/agreements. This study aims to describe and analyze the principles of contracts in Islamic Bank fund raising products. The method used in this research is Library Research, with an analytical descriptive approach to clearly describe the principles of contracts in Islamic Bank fund raising products. The results showed that the principles of contracts in fund-raising products at Islamic Banks have been implemented properly, where the operational activities of Islamic Banks are carried out in accordance with sharia principles supervised by DSN-MUI. Islamic banks provide freedom to customers to choose the type of contract they want without coercion, and guarantee legal equality between the two parties in making the contract. In addition, every agreement made is written and binding, reflecting honesty and freedom in the preparation of contracts between Islamic Banks and customers. The implications of this study show that the implementation of good contract principles in Islamic Banks not only strengthens customer trust but also supports sharia compliance in banking operations. This is important for improving the sustainability and reputation of Islamic Banks in the midst of financial industry competition.

Hydroelectric Power Generation System in Tanggari (PLTA Tanggari 2)

Deitje S. Pongoh — 2024-04-30

The research objective of PLTA Tanggari 2 is to understand and analyze the hydropower system from energy generation to distribution to end consumers, both households and industries. This research aims to improve the efficiency and performance of the entire electricity generation and distribution system. The research methodology used in making this journal is to collect sources or information related to the topic of discussion, namely hydroelectric power plants. The study explores the utilization of hydropower in the Tondano watershed to address electricity needs in North Sulawesi. Tanggari 2 Hydropower Plant exemplifies this by harnessing the potential and kinetic energy of water through a dam on the Tondano River. With an extensive watershed area of 4,700 hectares and Lake Tondano at its core, this system is optimized to efficiently generate electricity for the entire region. The input-output dynamics of hydropower plants are crucial, detailing how water flow drives turbines, ultimately leading to electrical output. This research underscores the potential of watershed utilization as an accessible, economical, and sustainable energy source for broader regional electrification endeavors. The implications of this research extend to enhancing understanding and analysis of water-based power generation systems, from energy production to distribution to end consumers. By improving the efficiency and performance of these systems, there is a significant potential for sustainable energy solutions that can benefit both households and industries in the broader regional context of North Sulawesi.

Innovations in Wind Power Generation Devices (WPP) That Saves Production Costs

Steven Johny Runtuwene — 2024-08-22

The innovation of Wind Power Plants in order to save costs in terms of production compared to Conventional Wind Power Plants¸ power plants that we usually encounter are in the form of windmills whose task is the same, namely using the wind as the driving force, models such as windmills that usually cost a lot, so the innovation created by SkySails Group is expected to be the beginning for other inventions, but certainly not to replace existing Wind Power Plants. This research employs a comprehensive methodology to explore the feasibility and advantages of kite-based wind farm systems, focusing on using towers as kite anchoring points. The result by Airborne Wind Europe, found that a wind farm containing a kite wind farm generating 50 megawatts of electricity would use only 913 metric tons of material over a 20-year period. This is far less than a conventional wind farm that requires 2,868 metric tons of material. This certainly supports sustainable green energy.

Influence of the Surrounding Environment Steam Power Plant (PLTU) Kema Satu Village, Kema District, North Minahasa District

Leony A Wenno — 2024-08-22

In today's era, it is important to understand the impact of Steam Power Plant (PLTU) operations on the environment and economy around the plant site, especially in Kema Satu Village. PLTUs, which harness the kinetic energy of steam from geothermal heat, are widely used due to their ease of operation and accessibility of fuel. However, they also have significant impacts, both positive and negative, on local communities. This study aims to assess the environmental and economic impacts of PLTU Sulut 3 on the surrounding area, evaluate its operational efficiency, and determine its contribution to stabilizing and improving electricity supply in North Sulawesi and Gorontalo. The research method used was a combination of qualitative and quantitative techniques to ensure a comprehensive analysis. Data was collected through observation, interviews, and analysis of relevant secondary data. The results show that the PLTU in Kema Satu Village has significant impacts on the local environment, including air and water pollution, soil degradation, and ecosystem disruption. In addition to providing electricity supply and employment opportunities for the local community, the PLTU has also triggered property price inflation and shifts in the local economy. Other negative impacts include damage to the local agricultural sector and increased greenhouse gas emissions. The implications of this study emphasize the need for careful planning, community involvement, and the implementation of sustainable practices to mitigate negative effects on residents and the environment.
