Direct sunlight can be converted into electrical energy using photovoltaic (PV) technology. The amount of electrical energy produced by solar modules can be influenced by the amount of sunlight it receives. This study discusses the simulation of the prediction of the output power of a photovoltaic system and boost converter with MPPT, in the next 1 hour using the backpropagation artificial neural network (ANN) method approach. In this study, the learning rate used is 0.01 and the minimum error target is 0.001 with 5 predetermined network architectures. The best performance prediction results with the smallest Mean Squared Error (MSE) value were obtained with the backpropagation neural network structure of the 4-6-1 model which was almost close to its actual value, but further research is still needed so that the prediction results can be even better.</em></p> BAGUS TRI KUNCORO ##submission.copyrightStatement## http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0 https://www.sttrcepu.ac.id/jurnal/index.php/simetris/article/view/496 Mon, 30 Dec 2024 00:00:00 +0700 Evaluasi Kerusakan Jalan dan Drainase Jalan (Studi Kasus : Ruas Jalan Sorogo – Gajahmada – Hayamwuruk, Kecamatan Cepu, Kabupaten Blora) https://www.sttrcepu.ac.id/jurnal/index.php/simetris/article/view/479 <p><strong>One of the causes of road damage is the presence of excess water due to inadequate drainage systems. Initial information related to the condition of existing drainage and also the damage to existing roads and the relationship between the two is needed for maintenance, evaluation, planning, and construction of both infrastructures so that the priority scale of handling can be applied for budget efficiency and effectiveness. Based on the problems above, this study was conducted with the aim of evaluating the condition of the road and its drainage. Data collection was carried out using survey and field observation methods. Analysis of pavement conditions using the Pavement Condition Index (PCI) method. Analysis of drainage conditions using a qualitative descriptive method with drainage performance benchmarks based on the Bina Marga Road Surface Drainage Design Guidelines (1990). The road sections that were the objects of the study were: Jalan Sorogo, Jalan Gajahmada, and Jalan Hayamwuruk in Cepu District. The characteristics of the road surface drainage surveyed were: road transverse slope, side channel dimensions, and channel sedimentation. The results of the analysis showed that the average road condition at the time of the study had a moderate level of damage with a PCI value of 46 while the drainage had a moderate level of damage both functionally and structurally. The drainage conditions that most affect the road are channel dimensions that are not in accordance with standards and changes in function from open to closed channels. While the most dominant effects of surface drainage conditions are: puddles and water infiltration. With the most dominant types of road damage due to puddles and infiltration are: crocodile skin cracks, peeling of the surface layer, and holes</strong></p> Hartono Guntur Ristiyanto ##submission.copyrightStatement## http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0 https://www.sttrcepu.ac.id/jurnal/index.php/simetris/article/view/479 Mon, 30 Dec 2024 00:00:00 +0700 Implementasi Metode Forward Chaining pada Sistem Pakar Diagnosis Penyakit Tanaman Tembakau https://www.sttrcepu.ac.id/jurnal/index.php/simetris/article/view/489 <p><em>Tobacco plants have high economic value, but their productivity is often threatened by various diseases that can harm farmers. Lack of knowledge in diagnosing diseases accurately and limited access to agricultural experts are major obstacles in controlling diseases. To overcome this problem, an expert system based on the forward chaining method was developed that is able to diagnose tobacco plant diseases based on observed symptoms. This system matches symptoms with rules in the knowledge base to produce an accurate diagnosis. The test results showed that the system had 100% accuracy on the five tobacco plant data sets tested. This success shows the potential of expert systems as an effective tool to increase tobacco plant productivity and facilitate decision making in the field</em>.</p> Ahmad Himam Auliya, Nagita Rahmasari, Adhika Pramita Widyassari ##submission.copyrightStatement## http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0 https://www.sttrcepu.ac.id/jurnal/index.php/simetris/article/view/489 Mon, 30 Dec 2024 00:00:00 +0700 Analisis Kerusakan Dini Transformator Distribusi Ulp Padangan Penyulang Watu Jago Menggunakan Metode Reliability, Availability, Maintainability (RAM) https://www.sttrcepu.ac.id/jurnal/index.php/simetris/article/view/492 <p><em>Electricity distribution transformers have an important role in converting high voltage into low voltage suitable for consumers. These transformers operate continuously for 24 hours in the distribution of electricity. Especially when distributing extra high voltage, supervision is required to maintain safety and performance. The Reliability, Availability, Maintainability (RAM) method is used to analyze the effectiveness and potential damage to the transformer. The analysis results show that in January, the Mean Time Between Failures (MTBF) was 372 hours with 2 failures, while in June only 1 failure. Mean Time To Repair (MTTR) in January 1.03 hours with 2 repairs, while in June only 1 repair with 0.8 hours. Failure Rate January 0.269%, June 0.139%. Transformer reliability over the last 6 months is 99.94% and will decrease. Availability in the last 6 months is 99.94%, but will decrease. Maintainability tends to be lower and will decrease further. The analysis recommends replacing the transformer in the next 1,77 years as the ease of repair is decreasing. Although generally used for 5-10 years, the level of ease of repair affects the effective use in electricity distribution.</em></p> Suprawikno Suprawikno, Irgianto Candra Adiaksa ##submission.copyrightStatement## http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0 https://www.sttrcepu.ac.id/jurnal/index.php/simetris/article/view/492 Mon, 13 Jan 2025 15:06:46 +0700 Peningkatan Kompetensi Berkomunikasi Ilmiah Dengan Laboratorium Berbantuan Komputer https://www.sttrcepu.ac.id/jurnal/index.php/simetris/article/view/494 <p><em>In learning physics, one of the competencies that must be mastered in the competence of scientific work is the competence of scientific communication.

Digital image processing techniques were chosen because they can perform measurements automatically, quickly, and consistently, compared to conventional methods which are often slow and less accurate. This study uses MATLAB R2021a with the Image Processing Toolbox to process video recordings from a Canon 1200D camera, which are converted and extracted into images in TIF format. This study focuses on the distribution of bubbles in water discharge conditions of 24 lpm, 32 lpm, and 40 lpm and variations in air discharge from 0.1 to 0.8 lpm. </em></p> <p><em>The results of the analysis show that at low water discharge (24 lpm), the bubble size tends to be smaller and more centralized, while at higher water discharge (32 lpm and 40 lpm), the bubble size distribution is more even and varied. The final result of this image processing data extraction is the distribution of microbubble diameters expressed in the Probability Distribution Function (PDF) and is used to present a comparison of the distribution of air bubble dimensions produced by MBG. Challenges faced in this study include validation at high QG, where there are deviations in the distribution results due to imaging quality or physical interference.</em></p> Drajat Indah Mawarni ##submission.copyrightStatement## http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0 https://www.sttrcepu.ac.id/jurnal/index.php/simetris/article/view/475 Wed, 15 Jan 2025 20:30:09 +0700 Pemodelan, Simulasi, dan Analisis Sistem Regulator Tegangan Otomatis Generator Sinkron Dengan Pengendali PID https://www.sttrcepu.ac.id/jurnal/index.php/simetris/article/view/498 <p>Kemampuan suatu generator sinkron untuk mempertahankan tegangan terminal ketika terjadi perubahan beban terhubung adalah salah satu karakteristik fundamental dalam analisis stabilitas sistem tenaga. Regulator tegangan otomatis, yang bertanggung jawab terhadap proses stabilisasi tergangan terminal, merupakan suatu sistem kendali umpan balik yang mengukur tegangan keluaran untuk dibandingkan dengan tegangan referensi yang selanjutnya menghasilkan sinyal galat. Pada gilirannya sinyal galat ini akan mengendalikan sistem eksitasi setelah mengalami amplifikasi. Artikel ini membahas pemodelan, simulasi, dan analisis dari sistem regulator tegangan otomatis sederhana. Perangkat yang dipergunakan membangun model sistem adalah penguat, pengeksitasi, generator, dan sensor tegangan yang masing-masing direpresentasikan sebagai sistem orde satu dalam domain frekuensi. Analisis stabilitas Routh-Hurwitz yang diverifikasi dengan <em>root-locus</em> digunakan untuk menentukan nilai <em>gain</em> dari penguat yang menghasilkan sistem kendali stabil. Respons langkah diperbaiki dengan menyertakan stabilisator orde satu dengan satu <em>zero </em>di titik asal. Untuk mengetahui pengaruh nilai <em>gain</em> terhadap karakteristik respons langkah dilakukan <em>parameter sweep</em> terhadap <em>gain</em> dari penguat dan stabilisator. Karakteristik respons langkah yang diamati adalah waktu naik, waktu tunak, dan <em>overshoot</em>. Pengendali PID digunakan untuk mereduksi galat keadaan stabil respons langkah. Melalui penalaan pengendali PID diperoleh respons langkah sistem tanpa galat keadaan stabil, <em>overshoot</em> yang rendah, dan waktu naik serta waktu tunak yang singkat.</p> Ari Puji Prasetiyo ##submission.copyrightStatement## http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0 https://www.sttrcepu.ac.id/jurnal/index.php/simetris/article/view/498 Mon, 20 Jan 2025 15:50:35 +0700
