Optimization of Water Falling Points in Micro Hydro Power Plants

Micro Hydro Power Plant (PLTMH) is an alternative source of electrical energy for the community. PLTMH provides many benefits, especially for rural communities throughout Indonesia. When other energy sources start to run low and have a negative impact, water becomes a very important source of energy because it can be used as an energy source. PLTMH is a small-scale power plant that uses hydropower as its driving force such as irrigation channels, rivers, or natural waterfalls by utilizing the waterfall height (head) and the amount of water discharge. In rivers, there is the potential for sufficient water availability throughout the year, reliable discharge, suitable contours, and has been used for MHP. However, this river has decreased the electrical power it produces. Therefore, in this PLTMH river, it is necessary to analyze and recalculate the electric power generated by optimizing the water drop point, using an 8-inch pipe to produce a tangential force of 814.28 N, then using a 3-inch pipe to produce a tangential force of 100, 62 N and using a 2-inch pipe produces a tangential force of 25.37 N.

Monitoring Power Usage on Humanoid Robot Wirelessly Using the INA219 Sensor

Currently, humanoid robot power measurements are only carried out when there is a robot's movement that is weakened or unable to move optimally. This is considered to be less than optimal in preventing damage/weakness of the robot's movement. The monitoring device is installed on each part of the humanoid robot, namely the hands and feet, then it will send the current and voltage results via the wireless system. The current sensor used is an INA219 type which is calibrated with a resistor. The power supply used is 12.6 V and the resistors for calibration are 15 Ohm, 18 Ohm, 22 Ohm, 39 Ohm, 47 Ohm, 56 Ohm with each resistor having a power resistance of 5W. The INA219 sensor can read the current, voltage, and power values of the resistor even though there are still differences when compared to multimeter measuring instruments. The results of sensor calibration with a resistor will be used as a comparison when monitoring the humanoid robot. NodeMCU ESP8266 as a microcontroller and wi-fi module. The web server can operate properly when there is a connection. Monitoring runs in real-time for 1 second to refresh data. In the results obtained in all tests, all INA219 sensors can work but are less accurate. For smooth wireless communication and in accordance with research objectives.

System of Measuring PH, Humidity, and Temperature Based on Internet of Things (IoT)

The problem faced by farmers in Samarinda is the difficulties to know the condition of the chili plants when they are away from home or from the garden. Often times the farmer commutes from home to the garden just to monitor the condition of the plants, which reduces work effectiveness and takes a long time. Therefore, in this study a tool was made to measure soil moisture, temperature and soil pH based on the Internet of Things. The process of monitoring soil pH, soil moisture, and air temperature in chili plants using soil pH sensors, soil moisture sensors, and soil temperature sensors as well as Wemos / Arduino for data processing and sending analog data to the ANTARES platform. The result of this research is that soil condition data can be sent and read in real time through the ANTARES web application. Tool testing was carried out at 30 different locations in the city of Samarinda.

Identification of Feasibility of Canned Based Foods Image Processing Techniques Using Thresholding

Eye sight is sometimes deceptive, especially in determining the quality of a canned food, so it is necessary to use technology that resembles human visual observation, namely in the form of an application. The process to detect the quality of canned food uses image processing methods, especially thresholding, which is then designed so that the application is able to determine the quality of canned food with the help of the MATLAB GUI which detects and then sends it from making the MATLAB GUI on the Laptop to Android using FTP (File Transfer Protocol). At the end of the process, it is marked with known good and bad quality of canned food with an android application that has been specially designed with an accuracy level of 84% with a thresholding value of 70.

Intruder Detection Systems on Computer Networks Using Host Based Intrusion Detection System Techniques

The openness of access to information raises various problems, including maintaining the validity and integrity of data, so a network security system is needed that can deal with potential threats that can occur quickly and accurately by utilizing an IDS (intrusion detection system). One of the IDS tools that are often used is Snort which works in real-time to monitor and detect the ongoing network by providing warnings and information on potential threats in the form of DoS attacks. DoS attacks run to exhaust the packet path by requesting packets to a target in large and continuous ways which results in increased usage of CPU (central processing unit), memory, and ethernet or WiFi networks. The snort IDS implementation can help provide accurate information on network security that you want to monitor because every communication that takes place in a network, every event that occurs and potential attacks that can paralyze the internet network are monitored by snort.

Programmable Logic Controller (PLC) Based Paint Viscosity Control System

Automatic control has been developed in various fields, one of which is paint quality control. Paint quality can be controlled from various categories, including paint quality based on its viscosity. Therefore, we need a system that can control the viscosity of the paint. The paint viscosity control system uses the PLC OMRON CP1E-NA20DRA with a heater as a heat source, and the LM35DZ sensor as a temperature reading sensor, and the RPM reading is used to calculate the viscosity value. The programming language used is the ladder diagram on the CX-Programmer. This system uses the PID (Proportional, Integral, and Derivative) Algorithm so that temperature control can be set at 30ºC so as not to affect the viscosity of the paint. In addition, this prototype provides two PID tuning options, namely manual and auto-tuning. Researchers get the results that a good temperature control system response has a PB value = 0.2%; Ti = 452.5s and TD = 66.6s. and control the accuracy level of paint viscosity control of 67.82%.

DC Motor Speed Regulation Using Speech Recognition

One of the uses of this sound technology is controlling the speed of a DC motor. Sound in the form of a spectrum signal can be converted to digital. Digital signals can be used as a microcontroller input to adjust the speed of a DC motor using the PWM (pulse width modulation) method. The design of the tool uses the V3 voice recognition module to convert the voice into digital. A microcontroller as a voice data processor by changing the input voltage to a DC motor. Voice command to set DC motor speed. Based on the results of tests carried out in good environmental conditions, 90% of voice commands can be recognized. Meanwhile, in bad environmental conditions by 50%. Manual measurement is done by entering the input voltage from 1 volt to 10 volts. The results of the comparison show that the speed is almost the same, namely 2727 rpm for manual calculation and 2915 rpm for the whole tool. This difference occurs because the test when manually inputting the tension is not very accurate. It can be concluded that the tool is working properly and as desired. If the environmental conditions are bad only 50% can be recognized from 30 voice commands, then there is a difference in voice intonation during the training process.
