Corn Briquettes can be made using direct combustion such as burning of fuel. But this methode is unhealthy which can produce danger particles and smoke. One methode to burn something without direct burning is using vessel reactor (oven). This research aims to built an electric oven using induction heater. Controlling oven temperature was conducted using induction heater automaticly. The temperature of the oven will be controlled automaticly by varied the induction heater. Oven was built of 3 (three) item induction heater and was set in 3 (three) condition. At first condition, first heater is set at 50^oC. After reaches 50^oC, the second induction heater is on, then at 100^oC the third induction heater is on. Maximal value of temperature is 300^oC. With Corn Briquette Materials is in the oven, it wil be created briquette charcoal. A microcontroller based thermocople K-Type sensor will control these condition. It achieves 50^oC, 100^oC and 300^oC each for 1^st heater, 2^nd and 3^{rd .} For 20 minutes oven temperature reaches 50^oC, after next 100^oC in 1 hours and reaches 300^oC in 4 hours, the material reduces it’s weight about 20 grams in 4 hours starting in 50^oC.

Optimising Energy for Automatic Plant Watering Using Dual Axis Solar Tracking

Tue, 31 Dec 2024 00:00:00 +0000

The solar tracker dual axis is a tool designed to optimise the absorption of sunlight by solar cells. This is achieved by using a solar cell placement framework that can follow the movement of the sun. The system employs light-dependent resistor (LDR) sensors to detect sunlight, with the LDR module positioned adjacent to the solar cell surface. Four LDR modules are installed in close proximity to one another for the purpose of detecting light intensity. The tool is driven by two actuators, namely vertical and horizontal actuators, which are powered by the battery and controlled by a 5-volt 4-channel relay. The relay is activated in response to commands from the Arduino, which receives a signal from the LDR module. The findings of the study indicated that the solar tracker solar cell system, or dynamic system, exhibited a higher power generation capacity compared to solar cells without solar trackers or those with a fixed orientation. The test results demonstrate a notable increase in solar cell power, with specific increases observed in the first and second tests, namely 47% and 55%, respectively. The increase in power generated by solar cells affects several aspects, including the position of the solar cell, the intensity of light obtained, temperature, and humidity. The dual-axis solar tracker tool ensures that the position of the solar cell is always facing the sun, thereby increasing power generation and facilitating optimal battery charging. This optimal battery charging can supply electrical energy for water pumps and automatic plant watering on a continuous basis.

One of the many promising new renewable energy sources in Indonesia is solar power plants (PLTS), which use solar energy as a renewable source and convert it into electrical energy. The purpose of this study is to determine the maximum tilt angle values of 5°, 10°, 15°, 20°, and 25° when the solar panel faces north and east. We use three solar panels of 600 Wp, Mppt 100 A, 12V/100 ah battery, and a 500 W inverter. In the data collection that has been carried out, the highest sunlight intensity of 795 is obtained in the north-facing position with an angle of 15°, the intensity of sunlight and the angle of inclination affect the voltage produced by the solar panels. The highest voltage is obtained in the position of the solar panel facing north with a voltage of 20.1 Volt at a 15° angle. The highest voltage of the battery measured when the solar panel is facing north with a tilt angle of 15°

Design of Public Street Lighting for Solar Power Plants (PLTS) in Bukit Bio-Bio Village, Kenagarian Sikucua Utara V Koto, Kampung Dalam Padang Pariaman

Rais Saputra, Dedi Erawadi , Zulka Hendri — Tue, 31 Dec 2024 00:00:00 +0000

This design was motivated by the need to reduce dependence on fossil energy in the village of Bukit Bio-Bio. Although most villages are starting to consider renewable energy, there are still shortcomings in the application of technologies such as solar power plants to meet the needs of street lighting at night. This design proposes the installation of street lighting with solar power plants, as a solution to take advantage of existing solar energy. Thus, this idea aims to provide a sustainable and environmentally friendly alternative in meeting the needs of street lighting in Bukit Bio-Bio village. The research method includes surveys and direct observations in Bukit Bio-Bio Village to find out how long the road, the area of the road that will be designed for the installation of solar power plant (PLTS) street lighting in Bukit Bio-Bio Village, to find out how many light points will be installed and the distance between poles to other poles, and to find out how many panels are installed, as well as other components such as solar charger controllers (SCCs) and batteries. The results of the study show that in Bukit Bio-Bio village, 53 street lighting points are needed, in order to achieve good lighting and according to needs.

Solar Dome Dryer-Based Smoked Fish Drying System for Rural Economy

Abstract— The Solar Dryer is used as a drying system for fishery products or raw materials for ready-to-eat food within a "greenhouse" structure shaped like a "Dome Dryer." The dryer cover is made of clear polycarbonate, which effectively absorbs sunlight entering the drying chamber. Polycarbonate, a group of thermoplastic polymers, is easily moldable using heat. Its advantages include a density of

1.2–1.22 g/cm³, toughness retention up to 140°C, and stability down to -20°C. This material is highly transparent, capable of transmitting over 90% of light, similar to glass. Polycarbonate can also be designed to block ultraviolet radiation, providing 100% protection from harmful UV rays. It remains thermally stable up to 135°C, and its heat resistance can be further enhanced by adding flame retardants

without compromising its properties. Solar thermal radiation enters the drying chamber, where it is reflected and absorbed by the polycarbonate. This results in heat transfer to the (wet) fish, leading to evaporation. The evaporation process creates a pressure

difference between the inside and outside of the drying chamber, causing water vapor to flow out through the ventilation holes.
