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…

The treatments in this study were the…
ABSTRACT Red chili production in Riau province has decreased in the last three years. Efforts to increase production are carried out by adding empty oil palm bunches (EOPB) and watering. This study aims to determine the interaction of EOPB compost and watering frequency, single factor of EOPB compost and watering frequency as well as to obtain the best EOPB compost dose and watering frequency …
ABSTRACT The high nutritional content and benefits of eggplant have increased the demand for eggplant, but eggplant production is still low and has not been met. Based on this, this study aims to determine the effect of interaction between NASA liquid organic fertilizer and NPK fertilizer, the single factor of administering NASA liquid organic fertilizer and NPK fertilizer, and to obtain the b…
ABSTRACT The research was aimed to: (1) analyze factors influencing independent smallholder palm oil farmers' interest in participating in the Indonesian Sustainable Palm Oil (ISPO) program in Bandar Sei Kijang District; and (2) examine the relationship between attitudes, subjective norms, and perceived behavioral control on farmers' behavioral intentions toward ISPO implementation. The st…
ABSTRACT Oil palm is a commodity that has experienced an increase in land area and productivity. This increase is due to the high economic value of oil palm itself. In 2022, the area of oil palm land in Riau Province is 3.4 million ha. This increase has caused negative issues both at home and abroad. Roundtable on Sustainable Palm Oil (RSPO) is an organization formed to improve the governance …
