ABSTRACT In the electric power distribution system, not all power can be utilized optimally by consumers due to power losses caused by technical and non-technical disturbances. The methods used in this study include primary and secondary data collection, line impedance calculations, and analysis of factors that cause power losses. The results of this study are expected to provide recommend…
ABSTRACT The quality of electrical power is highly influenced by the voltage stability in distribution systems. One of the most common power quality disturbances is voltage sag, which is a short-term reduction in voltage typically caused by sudden load changes. This voltage drop can negatively affect the performance of electrical equipment, especially sensitive devices. This study aims to simu…
ABSTRAK The grounding system is an important part of the electricity distribution network that functions to protect equipment and humans from electrical disturbances due to insulation failure or overvoltage. Good grounding allows the fault current to be channeled to the ground efficiently, thereby reducing the risk of electrical accidents and equipment damage. The grounding resistance value is…
ABSTRAK An inverter is a device that functions to convert direct current (DC) voltage into alternating current (AC) voltage. This study aims to design and test a 12V DC to 220V AC inverter system using an Arduino microcontroller as a PWM signal generator. The circuit consists of several main components: Arduino, optocoupler for signal isolation, MOSFET as an electronic switch, and a transforme…
ABSTRACT Automatic Transfer Switch (ATS) is an electrical device to control electrical sources switching from the main source to the backup source or otherwise. With this device theres no need for an operator to manually control the device. The control implements Programmable Logic Controller (PLC) as a controller of an ATS circuit that will work to switch between the main source and the backu…
ABSTRACK Awal Bros Panam Hospital in Pekanbaru City is a healthcare provider serving the public. To supportits medical services, parking demand and facilities play acritical role and must be properly addressed. There are several identified issues, including vehicles parking outside the designated hospital premises and the absence of parking space markings in certain areas. These issues may sig…
ABSTRACT Riau, there were cost shifts and schedule delays caused by slow decision making, funding constraints and design issues resulting in 4 Contract Change Orders (CCO). At week 52, which coincided with the end of the project implementation plan, the work realization only reached 45.54% with a deviation of -54.45%. In December 2022 the project entered into period I of the contract declare…
ABSTRACT Pekanbaru City, located in Riau Province, Indonesia, comprises six sub-watersheds in its southern region: Sibam, Air Hitam, Senapelan, Sail, Tenayan, and Pendanau. Effective watershed management plays a vital role in hydrological planning, particularly in estimating peak flood discharge through the use of Synthetic Unit Hydrograph (SUH) methods. Among these, the Snyder method is widel…
Abstract Air transportation plays a crucial role in regional connectivity and economic growth. Kualanamu International Airport, as one of the main gateways in North Sumatra, experienced significant fluctuations in passenger numbers due to the COVID-19 pandemic. This study aims to evaluate and project the future demand for landing movements at Kualanamu Airport for the period 2024 to 2043. The …
ABSTRACT The existence of water catchment areas is influenced by the rapid development of built-up land that covers the infiltration rate and has an impact on space utilization that causes impermeability, drought and reduced water storage. Rangsang Island with an area of ± 913.16 km2 and the population increasing every year causes the need for land management to increase as well. Thus, it is …
ABSTRACT Methyl Ester Sulfonic Acid (MESA) is a group of anionic surfactants made through the sulfonation process. Methyl ester sulfonic acid is used to make liquid detergents. In Indonesia, there are not many factories or producers of methyl ester sulfonic acid so that imports are made to meet the needs. Therefore, the processing of methyl ester sulfonic acid is needed to meet the needs of me…
