The demand for electrical power is rapidly increasing due to the rise of industries in developing countries. Power generation stations are having troubles to strike a balance between demand and generation. In this situation, it is urged that appropriate remedial action be taken. Rising power demand can be met by designing an efficient electric power generation system which will also help lowering the generation cost. It is shown that while high rated electric power generators are connected in parallel the value of neutral current is rising and the cooling temperature is also increased. Here, the goal of this experimental work is to present a new model for designing an efficient power production system for average-load (ranging up to 8000 Amp, 440 V) industries to minimize the demand on centralized interconnected grid. A scheme is proposed with four generators (2500 kVA, 2000 kVA, 2000 kVA and 1250 KVA) in parallel and enough cooling arrangement is provided with minimal cost. The coolant temperature is maintained 61 °C to 61.5 °C and at that time diesel temperature is not more than 38.5 °C. The amount of neutral-current is also optimized (up to 8.5 Amp.) which was more than 12 Amp. At the morning and afternoon, the neutral current is almost constant, but it is bit fluctuating between 7.5 Amp to 8.2 Amp at mid-day. The final outcome shows, the suggested system is efficiently stable with the change of load and generates optimal electricity.

The prediction of the use of electric power is very important to maintain a balance between the supply and demand of electric power in the power generation system. Due to a fluctuating of electrical power demand in the electricity load center, an accurate forecasting method is required to maintain the efficiency and reliability of power generation system continuously. Such conditions greatly affect the dynamic stability of power generation systems. The objective of this research is to propose Double Seasonal Autoregressive Integrated Moving Average (DSARIMA) to predict electricity load. Half hourly load data for of three years period at PT. PLN Gresik Indonesia power plant unit are used as case study. The parameters of DSARIMA model are estimated by using least squares method. The result shows that the best model to predict these data is subset DSARIMA with order ([1,2,7,16,18,35,46],1,[1,3,13,21,27,46])(1,1,1)48(0,0,1)336 with MAPE about 2.06%. Thus, future research could be done by using these predictive results as models of optimal control parameters on the power system side.

The research about picohydro power plant system has been developed in recent years. However, there is a problem in output power when using too small water debit on it. Output power can improved with a generator module and joule thief module. The generator module uses a turbine that the diameter is 4 cm to drive a permanent magnet generator while the joule thief module consists of a charger controller to control charging process of battery, 3200 mAh lithium-ion battery for storing electric power generated by the generator and a joule thief circuit to increase the electrical power that stored in the battery. This device has been tested by using 7 variations of water debit that is 0.06 liters/second, 0.066 liters/second, 0.071 liters/second, 0.077 liters/second, 0.093 liters/second, 0.138 liters/second, and 0.14 liters/second. The results showed that the increasement of power generated when water debit are increased. The maximum power generated in this power generation system is 7.75 W and its able to supply power for LED lights 220 V 3 W for 165 minutes.

In this paper, a new type micro piston internal combustion engine is reported. The micro engine can be used to provide mechanical energy for micro electric power generation system. It is consisted of three or four planar plate structure. This micro engine has special advantages in structure which are more suitable to minimize whole engine to MEMS dimensions than traditional engines. Compared with traditional or other existing micro piston engines, there is a sliding chute and crank mechanism rather than a crank and connecting rod mechanism to improve the space utilization ratio. The crank is fixed on the plate next to the main body plate of the engine. A free piston micro engine without the crank and connecting rod mechanism is given too. Scheme of structure, operation and characters of the micro engine are described in detail. The displacement, velocity and acceleration functions of piston are deduced to understand the rules of piston motion. Calculating formulas of porting parameters are deduced too. Finally, an example of the micro engine with specific design parameters is given. Mathematic modeling of the porting parameters is built. The calculation results show that the phase angles of the inlet, scavenging port and the exhaust port of the example engine are respectively of 21.78°, 156.27° and 158.39° under following conditions. Compression ratio is 5; working volume is 5mm3; length of stroke is 2mm; the sectional dimension of the piston is 2mm×1mm; and the value of revolution is 9000RPM. When the width of gas ports are all 1mm, the heights of inlet, scavenging port and exhaust port corresponding to the port phase angles above are respectively 72μm, 85μm, and 70μm. According to the assembly testing on computer, it is shown that the micro piston engine presented here is workable, controllable and suitable for MEMS fabrication in structure. It can be used as device to provide mechanical energy for micro electric power generation system.
