Usage Unbalanced expenses are considered normal for electricity consumers and often found in the field. There are a lot of Distribution Substation of 20 KV installed to serve electricity users, and the lack of management of the installation of kWh Meter based on the profile of each customer that is different from each other, as well as the varying use of electrical energy in each customer causing an unbalanced distribution of Distribution Transformers. A raises another problem, namely the loss of electrical power due to an imbalance in the Electric Load in each phase. Therefore, the authors analyze the effect of load imbalances on the age of electrical equipment. Then apply the right steps to balance the transformer load, so that consumers are expected to understand the consequences of Electric Load Imbalance better.

The increasing population development in Sorong district is seen from the mushrooming of developers who build housing and the construction of shops which of course the need for electrical energy continues to increase. Thus electricity is an important requirement in human life so as to obtain electricity reliably and continuously, PLN is required to manage to maintain a stable distribution of electrical energy that is sustainable to consumers. One phenomenon that is always experienced in the field is the uneven distribution of loads from the secondary side of the transformer to the customer. This causes unbalanced load between phase R, S and T which in turn causes the current to flow in the neutral conductor of the transformer, so that the current causes losses in the transformer. In this study an analysis was conducted to find out how much influence the load losses have on the efficiency of the 100 kVA distribution transformer at PLN. After calculating and analyzing, it is found that due to load imbalance in R, S and T phases, this results in daytime load losses of 0.499 kW and increases at night by 0.746 kW. Increasing load losses results in lower transformer performance and lower efficiency.

Energy trending lately shown the need of new possible renewable energy. This paper studies about the capability and capacity generating of electricity by using Bio-electricity-Microbial Fuel Cell (Bio-MFC). Bio-MFC is the device that converts chemical energy to electrical energy by using microbes that exist in the sewage water. The energy contained in organic matter can be converted into useful electrical power. MFC can be operated by microbes that transfer electrons from anode to cathode for generating electricity. There are two major goals in this study. The first goal is to determine the performance characteristics of MFCs in this application. Specifically we investigate the relationship between the percentages of organic matter in a sample results in higher electricity production of MFCs power by that sample. As a result, the sewage (wastewater) chosen in the second series experiment because the sewage (wastewater) also produced the highest percentage of organic matter which is around 10%. Due to these, the higher percentage of organic matter corresponds to higher electricity production. The second goal is to determine the condition under which MFC work most efficiently to generating electricity. After get the best result of the combination for the electrode, which is combination of zinc and copper (900mV),the third series of experiments was coducted, that show the independent variable was in the ambient temperature. The reasons of these observations will be explained throughout the paper. The study proved that the electricity production of MFC can be increased by selecting the right condition of sample type, temperature and type of electrode.

AbstractThe drive to produce electrical energy by directly compressing piezoceramic material using mechanical stress stands behind the present test series. To be able to correctly choose the right material, PZT disks manufactured by three different manufacturers have been tested under static mechanical compressive and cyclic loads. It was shown that although the disks can withstand high mechanical stresses (up to 100 MPa) without any visible damage, their transduction is confined to much lower stresses (50–75 MPa), a range in which the electrical output is a function of the square of the applied stress. This range is further reduced, when the PZT is subjected to cyclic mechanical loading, yielding an applicable mechanical stress in the range of 30–40 MPa, from which electrical power can be produced without further deterioration. To compensate for the low electric power, due to relatively low mechanical stresses applied on the PZT disks, one can increase the volume of the material used by placing layers of piezoelectric material one on top of the other, each subjected to the same mechanical stress. This will yield the required electric power from a safe given mechanical stress without reduction in its output.

The use of electrical equipment that is not in accordance with the standards established by SNI (Standar Nasional Indonesia) and the installation of electrical equipment that is not in accordance with the provisions are still often found in people's homes, so that the threat of electric fire hazards will be possible. Data from the recapitulation of fire incidents in DKI Jakarta Province in 2018 revealed that the biggest cause of fire was due to electrical short circuit, as many as 494 fire incidents occurred in a total of 1667 residences. This is quite alarming because many of the fires are caused by the low quality and installation of cables in most people's homes and residents do not understand the dangers of using inappropriate electrical energy. To participate in assisting the government inconducting socialization about the right electricity usage to prevent fires, the PPM activities in the form of socialization and direct assistance to residents' homes. The purpose of this activity is so that in the future residents of the Tugu Selatan Village of North Jakarta are more concerned about the electrical installations andthe electrical equipment they use by following with specified standards. This activity is very useful for the residents, proven by their enthusiasm in participating in the extension program with questions about the correct use of electrical energy and people's curiosity in knowing how to save electricity usage at home and calculate the cost of using electricity in their homes.

The development and implementation of a new economic electrical equipment, in particular, energy-efficient distribution transformers – is a very essential step to reduce electricity losses in 0,4-35kV distribution networks. In a market economy the funds invested into the sector of energetics provide maximum profit to the joint stock company only in the case of the production profitability. In such a situation it is possible to achieve optimal material and energy costs on the transformation of power only under the condition of taking into account such factors as load charts of electricity consumption, the cost of the electrical power losses and maintenance of transformers in the process of exploitation, etc. Existing until today practice of transformers design ignores the actual characteristics of individual customers load charts that results in inefficient use of power transformers capacities during their operation. Non-consideration of the electroconsumer actual operating mode (load curve) in the design period leads to inefficient use of transformer capacity. It is proposed for a tight load schedule to design the transformer for the nearest least normalized power compared to the actual load, providing the possibility of intensification of cooling in case of power consumption increasing.

Optimization of process steam requirement in order to maximize sugar recovery and export power along with manpower optimization is a must for sugar factories to survive under difficult conditions and to earn additional revenues. The process steam demand of greenfield and revamped plants has been reduced to levels of 32–38% from originally more than 50% steam on cane in the case of the brownfield plants. In addition, significant improvement in the power requirement of the plants has been achieved. Bagasse drying offers a good potential to improve the power export. Different available concepts are compared with a focus on bagasse steam drying and low temperature bagasse drying. In order to set up an optimized highly efficient plant or to optimize an existing plant to achieve competitive benchmarks, good process design and the right equipment selection are very important. Experience has been gained with multiple stage or double effect crystallization in the beet sugar industry offering further steam optimization potential. Vapour recompression is also an option to substitute live steam by electrical power. This even provides options to reduce the steam demand from the power plant for the sugar process down to zero. Key aspects concerning the process design and equipment selection are described.

Abstract Sludges produced in biological wastewater treatment plants have rich organic materials in their characteristics. Recent research studies have focused on the energy recovery from sludge due to its high organic content. The gasification process is a thermal conversion technology transforming the chemical energy contained in a solid fuel into thermal energy and electricity. The produced syngas as a mixture of CO, CH4, H2 and other gases can be used to generate electrical energy. The gasification of yeast industry sludge has been experimentally evaluated in a pilot scale downdraft-type gasifier as a route towards the energy recovery. The gasifier has 20 kg biomass/h fuel capacity. During gasification, the temperature achieved was more than 1,000°C in the gasifier, and then the syngas was transferred to the gas engine to yield the electricity. A load was connected to the grid box and approximately 1 kWh electrical power generation for 1 kg dry sludge was determined. The characteristics of residuals – ash, glassy material – were also analyzed. It was found that most of the heavy metals were fixed in the glassy material. Experimental results showed that the yeast industry sludge was an appropriate material for gasification studies and remarkable energy recovery was obtained in terms of power production by using syngas.
