Pembangkit Listrik Tenaga Air (PLTA) Portable Berbasis IoT

Based on the increasing need for electricity for the community, especially in the Bangka Belitung region, which still uses a lot of expensive fossil energy (generators), so it is still a cost constraint for people living in remote areas that have not been electrified. So it is necessary to innovate in making electricity that utilises natural resources (water). However, the problem is that water sources in some places have erratic water discharge. Therefore, in this research it is proposed to make a portable hydropower plant so that it can be moved in a place that has a high water discharge that can monitor the rpm, voltage and current of the generator and battery and is expected to be used as a cheap and environmentally friendly alternative power plant. The methodology in making this hydropower plant uses a 100Watt DC generator with a 12-bladed breadshot turbine type and is controlled using LM393 sensors and INA219 sensors with a monitoring system using the Blynk application by utilising IoT-based technology. The test was conducted by testing the effect of generator rpm speed on generator current and voltage, battery charging and discharging time, and testing the monitoring system using the Blynk application. From the test results, it is obtained that the minimum generator rpm that must be achieved when charging the battery is 425 rpm with the power obtained of 12.19Watt. Charging a 50 Ah capacity battery at the hydropower plant takes 6 hour and 38 minutes with a charging current of 6,7A. While for battery discharge using a 12V 75Watt lamp load takes 7 hours 25 minutes. The generator monitoring system using the Blynk application works well in displaying the same measurement results on the LCD screen with an accuracy value of 100%.

Monitoring Pembangkit Listrik Tenaga Angin Menggunakan Arduino Berbasis GUI Matlab

Wind power is a type of renewable energy power plant that is starting to develop in Indonesia. This plant uses wind turbines to convert wind power into mechanical power that will drive the generator. The generators used in this wind power plant have limited capabilities. In order to prevent operation that exceeds the capacity of the generator, it is necessary to monitor and protect the components of the wind power generator. This study proposes a wind power generator monitoring system using the Arduino MKR 1000 based on the Matlab Graphical User Interface (GUI). Wind power plant parameters that are monitored are wind speed, turbine rotation speed and generator output power. The tool made was tested on a wind power plant in the laboratory that uses a horizontal axis wind turbine with a permanent magnet type generator. The test results show that the wind power generator monitoring system made in this study has worked well. This can be seen from the wind speed data, the turbine rotation speed and the generator output power data displayed on the monitoring screen in accordance with the data available on the measuring instrument.

Analysis of correlation of climate factors affecting solar power generation

Background/Objectives: In designing the solar power generation, feasibility review and power generation volume prediction during guarantee phase after the completion are very important.Methods/Statistical analysis: The study compares the actual power generation volume obtained from solar power generation monitoring system and estimated volume calculated using overseas meteorological data from Meteonorm 7.1 and NASA-SSE and Korean data from the Korea Meteorological Administration, in order to understand their accuracy. The calculation using KMA data, with the highest prediction value, was used to analyze the correlation among solar radiation, temperature, and solar power generation volume.Findings: Previous solar power generation volume prediction was conducted only with solar radiation value, which caused errors between the actual and predicted solar power generation volume. The study found that the power generation volume and solar radiation have a high positive correlation coefficient of 0.8131 for Songam Power Plant. For correlation between power generation volume and temperature, the coefficient for Songam was 0.2843 and 0.4616 for Jipyeong Power Plant, showing lower influence than that of solar radiation. In sum, solar radiation influences the solar power generation volume more than temperature, but the current study indicates that both solar radiation and temperature must be considered for an accurate prediction of solar power generation volume.Improvements/Applications: Research to develop solar power generation volume prediction algorithm that takes into account both solar radiation and temperature must be conducted to expand the application of solar power generation system with more accurate estimation of power generation volume.

Hosting Capacity Assessment for Distributed PV in Distribution Network Considering Demand Response Based on Fusion of Multiple Data Sources

Considering the incomplete information in distribution network, this paper proposes a method of hosting capacity assessment for distributed photovoltaic (PV) generation integrated into distribution network considering demand response based on fusion of multiple data sources. Via integration of real-time data and historical data from power grid dispatching system, distribution automation system, distributed generation monitoring and control system, and electricity data and historical data from metering system, marketing system, load control system, the hosting capacity analysis model of the distributed generation is complete. Considering the load demand response ability in power system’s voltage regulation based on the typical load characteristics, the hosting capacity of distribution network is analyzed, taking the limit value of voltage deviation and voltage fluctuation as the quantitative calculation, the safety index of short circuit current and branch current carrying capacity as the constraint. Finally, the experimental results from the actual distribution network reveal that, with the demand response participating in power system’s voltage regulation, the distributed PV accommodation capacity of the distribution network has been significantly improved.

Real-time power angle determination of salient-pole synchronous machine based on air gap measurements

This paper presents a new method for the real-time power angle determination of the salient-pole synchronous machines. This method is based on the terminal voltage and air gap measurements, which are the common features of the hydroturbine generator monitoring system. The raw signal of the air gap sensor is used to detect the rotor displacement with reference to the fundamental component of the terminal voltage. First, the algorithm developed for the real-time power angle determination is tested using the synthetic data obtained by the standard machine model simulation. Thereafter, the experimental investigation is carried out on the 26 MVA utility generator. The validity of the method is verified by comparing with another method, which is based on a tooth gear mounted on the rotor shaft. The proposed real-time algorithm has an adequate accuracy and needs a very short processing time. For applications that do not require real-time processing, such as the estimation of the synchronous machine parameters, the accuracy is additionally increased by applying an off-line data-processing algorithm.
