https://mev.brin.go.id/mev/article/view/762
<p>Bicopter is an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) with the advantage of saving energy consumption. However, the unique two rotors design presents a challenge in designing a controller that achieves good stability, fast settling time, and the ability to overcome oscillations simultaneously. This article proposes a new control method for bicopter that uses a genetic algorithm optimization approach in the linear quadratic (LQ-GA) control method. The GA is used to search for the best weighting matrix parameters, Q and R, in the Linear Quadratic (LQ) control scheme. The proposed control method was tested on a balancing bicopter test platform with an input in the form of difference in pulse width modulation (PWM) signals for both rotors and an output in the form of roll angle. The control system was evaluated based on the stability of the transient response and the generated control signal. The results of the tests showed that the proposed LQ-GA control method has better stability, faster settling time, and smaller overshoot than the existing PI and standard LQ control methods. Therefore, the proposed LQ-GA control method is the most suitable for use in a balancing bicopter system with a non-zero setpoint.</p>Esa ApriaskarDhidik PrastiyantoAryo Baskoro UtomoAkhyar Abdillah ManafIlya AmeliaDimas Alfarizky IlhamViyola Lokahita BilqisChonlatee Photong

https://mev.brin.go.id/mev/article/view/841
The demand for implementing robots into our daily lives has surged in recent years, necessitating safe grasping for effective interaction with the environment. However, a majority of researchers rely on commercial grippers for their experimental studies, which are typically expensive and not accessible to everyone. Despite the existence of open-source designs, the assembly process is often challenging and requires modifications to enhance secure grasping. This paper presents a simple, compact, and low-cost gripper to offer an accessible and readily deployable solution for research and education. The gripper utilizes a parallel four-bar linkage mechanism, minimizing the number of components and incorporating off-the-shelf parts for straightforward assembly. Furthermore, to enhance its capabilities, the proposed gripper implements a soft skin tactile sensor on its fingertips. These sensors offer three-directional measurements using Hall effect sensing and embedded silicone. By controlling fingertip force based on information from the tactile sensors, the gripper achieves safe grasping. The gripper is evaluated to grasp daily life objects with different properties such as shapes, sizes, and levels of deformability. Evaluation results showcase the gripper's versatility, enabling it to securely grasp various objects, including fragile items. This outcome underscores the gripper's effectiveness, versatility, and safety in practical use.Muhammad ArifinRian Putra PratamaOka MahendraAris MunandarCatur Hilman Adritya Haryo Bhakti BaskoroMuhtadin MuhtadinAbdullah Iskandar

https://mev.brin.go.id/mev/article/view/728
<p>The commutation process in brushless DC (BLDC) motors is done electrically and depends on the rotor position feedback. The Six-Step method is the most commonly used method in BLDC control, as it is easy to implement. However, this method has a high root mean square (RMS) current. On the other hand, a perfect sinusoidal commutation method is very complicated. Therefore, this research proposes a simple modified scheme of trapezoidal commutation circuits that can produce sinusoidal BLDC output voltage. This circuit can still responsively control the speed of the BLDC motor. This scheme uses 2 Arduinos. Pulse width modulation (PWM) signal from Arduino2 is then combined with hall signals from Arduino1, resulting in six outputs which are modified electrical commutation signals. This commutation signal is used as a MOSFET controller in a 3-phase inverter to produce a sinusoidal waveform. The average efficiency obtained when implementing the commutation is 75 % at low and high speeds.</p>Ratih Mar'atus SholihahFahrul FahrulAdhika KurniawanIrwan Mahmudi

https://mev.brin.go.id/mev/article/view/818
The increasing use of power electronics in various sectors leads to harmonic distortion in electric power systems, affecting power quality and equipment longevity. While harmonic filters have been used to address this issue, they are limited in effectiveness, particularly in reducing distortion across the entire distribution system. This study aims to reduce harmonic distortion using a zigzag transformer as a more comprehensive solution in mitigating harmonic distortion throughout the entire distribution system. In this research, the zigzag transformer was placed at point common coupling to reduce harmonic distortion in the distribution system as a whole. A zigzag transformer connection was configured by connecting either three windings of a single-phase transformer or one winding of a three-phase transformer. Based on the results of this research, the total harmonic distortion (THD) value has decreased from 25.26 % to 2.48 % following the implementation of the zigzag transformer. This substantial decrease in THD concludes the zigzag transformer's effectiveness as a solution for improving power quality in electrical distribution systems.Langlang GumilarIbram Adib WicaksonoArif Nur AfandiAhmad Asri Abd SamatQuota Alief Sias

https://mev.brin.go.id/mev/article/view/780
One of the primary challenges faced when utilizing power converters such as a DC boost converter is electromagnetic interference (EMI) issues, one of which is common-mode (CM) noise. In order to mitigate the unwanted EMI from converters and design proper EMI filters, it is imperative to possess comprehensive insight into the characteristics of CM noise generated from the converters. This study presents the investigation regarding the characteristic of CM noise emitted by multi-boost converters when operated under varying duty cycle conditions. The research was conducted by measuring and analyzing the CM noise generated by three identical boost converters arranged in a parallel configuration. The result shows that the amplitude of each harmonic of CM noise generated by the multi-boost converters is 5 dB to 10 dB higher than CM noise from a single-boost converter. This is due to each converter being configured in the same conditions, producing a constructive interaction of the generated CM noise. Moreover, the duty cycle of pulse-width modulation (PWM) has a strong influence on the characteristic of the amplitude of each harmonic frequency. It is proven by the amplitude pattern of each harmonic of CM noise. Under duty cycle variations, the converters generate similar peaks and valley amplitude patterns as the Fourier transformation of the trapezoidal waveform used in the PWM setting.Muhammad Imam SudrajatAfiva Riyatun NuvusDwi Mandaris

https://mev.brin.go.id/mev/article/view/819
<p>This study provides a worthwhile method for increasing the magnetic field energy and induction machine (IM) effectiveness. The coupling between the transmitter and receiver windings in the IM system can be improved by creating materials with specific electromagnetic properties. This added material has altered the magnetic flow as well as the energy of the magnetic field. Eventually, it is possible to calculate the efficiency of the magnetic field, or the ratio of primary to secondary magnetic energy. With the use of two-dimensional finite element analysis, numerical results on five cases with various configurations of a magnetic substance have been produced. This material, which varies in length or breadth, is positioned close to the windings of the transmitter, receiver, or both. Case 3, in which the transmitter generates a magnetic field on the receiver side with a minimum energy of 0.05 J and a maximum energy of 0.015 J, is the ideal material configuration for DC current. Currently, the system efficiency is 0.29 on average. A 1 kHz transmitter's energy is constant under all conditions, but its counterpart's energy fluctuates significantly, with case 5 receiving the most energy. Therefore, case 5 turns into the optimal structural arrangement. It can be inferred that case 5 similarly dominates the other with an efficiency of 0.0026, which is much greater than that of 1 kHz efficiency, while the windings are operating at 1 MHz. This leads to stronger magnetic field coupling and increased power transfer effectiveness.</p>Muhammad Afnan HabibiSoraya Norma MustikaAripriharta AriprihartaAdi Izhar Che Ani

https://mev.brin.go.id/mev/article/view/817
Micro hydro power plants (MHPP) is one of the renewable energy that can be utilized as a distributed generation with controllable power output. One common issue in MHPP systems is the non-constant rotation of the generator caused by load fluctuations. This instability leads to variable frequencies, which can potentially harm electrical equipment. To address this problem, the volume of water entering through the governor can be adjusted to synchronize the turbine and generator rotation with the load. This approach helps dampen frequency oscillations and ensures that the system operates within desired limits. Therefore, there is a need for technology that can enhance the performance of micro hydro power plant units, specifically load frequency control (LFC). This research proposes the application of the grey wolf optimizer (GWO) algorithm to optimize the PID controller parameters for MHPP LFC. MHPP has been modeled in both isolated and grid-connected modes using Simulink MATLAB R2020a. The best cost function value for an isolated mode system was obtained with ISEim, yielding a value of 0.067653, while for a grid-connected mode system, it was achieved with ISEgm, with a value of 0.015861. The results of the frequency deviation response performance of the LFC using GWO indicate that the fastest settling time was achieved with the cost function ITAEim in isolated mode, and with IAEgm in grid-connected mode. The cost function that produces the smallest peak overshoot and peak undershoot parameter values varied depending on changes in the system load.Irvandy Ilza NovendraI Made WirawanArya KusumawardanaAung Ko Latt

https://mev.brin.go.id/mev/article/view/765
<p>Human activity recognition (HAR) is an increasingly active study field within the computer vision community. In HAR, driver behavior can be detected to ensure safe travel. Detect driver behaviors using a capsule network with leave-one-subject-out validation. The study was done using CapsNet with leave-one-subject-out validation to identify driving habits. The proposed method in this study consists of two parts, namely encoder and decoder. The encoder used in this study modifies Sabour’s capsule network architecture by adding a convolution layer before going to the primary capsule layer. The proposed method is evaluated using a primary dataset with 10 classes and 300 images for each class. The dataset is split based on hold-out validation and leave-one-subject-out validation. The resulting models were then compared to conventional CNN architecture. The objective of the research is to identify driving behavior. In this study, the proposed method results an accuracy rate of 97.83 % in the split dataset using hold-out validation. However, the accuracy decreased by 53.11 % when the proposed method was used on a split dataset using leave-one-subject-out validation. This is because the proposed method extracts all features including the attributes of each participant contained in the input image (user-independent). Thus, the resulting model in this study tends to overfit.</p>Jimmy Abdel KadarMargareta Aprilia Kusuma DewiEndang SuryawatiAna HeryanaVicky ZilfanBudiarianto Suryo KusumoRaden Sandra YuwanaAhmad Afif SupiantoHasih PratiwiHilman Ferdinandus Pardede

https://mev.brin.go.id/mev/article/view/731
<p>This study proposes improving the performance of a fixed-axis multistage Savonius wind turbine by integrating a sixbladed guide vane. Guide vanes aim to direct the incoming wind towards the blades of the Savonius wind turbine so that it can increase the performance value of the turbine itself. There are two methods, the first method is computational fluid dynamics (CFD) simulation to evaluate the best performance guide vane angle variations. The second method is implementing real conditions using 3 m/s until 4.2 m/s wind speed. The implementation of the guide vane to the wind turbine will consider four (4) variants of angles (0°, 20°, 40°, and 60°). The purpose of testing with four kinds of guide vane angles is to find out which guide vane angle can provide the best results among other guide vane angles. This research proposed the initial design of the guide vane addition to the multistage Savonius wind turbine with a fixed rotary axis. From the CFD simulation, the implementation of a guide vane can improve the performance of the multistage Savonius wind turbine with a fixed rotary axis. On the other hand, for the proposed initial design in this research, the 20° angle of guide vane gives the best result compared to the 0°, 40°, 60°, and without guide vane.</p>Dionisius DevinLevin HalimBagus Made ArthayaJonathan Chandra

https://mev.brin.go.id/mev/article/view/724
Water utilization has recently been at its highest level of demand. The water needed to be clean, healthy, and determined to be suitable for consumption. Therefore, it is necessary to have a system that can monitor the water quality so thatinformation related to wate r suitability can be received regularly and in real-time. This paper addresses the critical need for real-time water quality monitoring systems. This study proposed a novel approach integrating the Tsukamoto fuzzy algorithm into an internet of things (IoT)-based framework, forming part of the Fuzzy Inference System. Our system serves as a decision support tool, enabling continuous assessment of water quality. The method categorizes water quality into three levels: good, moderate, and unhealthy, providing timely and precise suitability information. The results demonstrate the effectiveness of the fuzzy logic method in delivering accurate output. Through remotely deployed IoT devices, water suitability and status can be monitored and analyzed in real-time over the internet. This research bridges the gap between traditional water quality assessment methods and the demands of our modern, technology-driven society, ensuring a reliable supply of safe and consumable water.Hanif FakhrurrojaEdi Triono NuryatnoAris MunandarMuhammad FahmiNovan Agung Mahardiono

https://mev.brin.go.id/mev/article/view/820
<p>Several technologies are currently being applied in the maritime industry to reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. An example is the implementation of an electric propulsion system with a battery charged using a renewable energy source. Meanwhile, it is important to analyze the energy demand and the quantity of emissions reduced in a vessel after installing this system. Therefore, this study focused on analyzing the energy demand and emissions produced on fishing boats, specifically the “Sandeq” fishing boats in West Sulawesi. The primary objective was to quantify the carbon dioxide emissions reduced after the conventional engine of the vessel was replaced with an electric propulsion system. Moreover, the energy demand of the boat was estimated by analyzing the daily speed, length of voyage, and engine capacity. The results showed that six batteries were required to provide the power needed for daily operation. Furthermore, the electric propulsion system was able to reduce CO<sub>2</sub> emission by 7.94 tons annually per ship, leading to the reduction of fuel consumption and emission taxes to approximately 10 million Rupiah annually.
