Solar energy is a renewable energy that uses solar energy as the main ingredient in the formation of electrical energy. Solar energy is one of the most likely energies in a country that is on the equator like Indonesia. One of the interesting problems is how to determine the most effective area for the installation of solar power plants to make the power received by the power plant more effective. This study aims to analyze the effective area for installing solar panels using a Geographic Information System (GIS) as well as mapping of Centralized Solar Power (CSP) and centralized solar photovoltaic (SPV) in the East Priangan area, West Java. The method used in this study is based on the use of remote sensing of the average annual horizontal irradiation (GHI) and Normal Direct Irradiation (DNI). Solar irradiation data (GHI and DNI) were obtained from data from the surface meteorological program and solar energy by NASA, while Land Use/Land Cover, and Digital Elevation Models were used with the use of GIS. The results show that high areas in East Priangan get more effective CSP and SPV results than low areas, but low areas show an average effectiveness value in denuded areas. \u0000Keywords: solar energy, east Priangan, satellite imagery, environmental, GIS","PeriodicalId":17898,"journal":{"name":"KnE Life Sciences","volume":"22 11","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-03-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140375464","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The battery consists of six cells with Pb and PbO as electrodes. The battery is equipped with a 1200 ml reservoir system to collect electrolyte and supply electrolyte to each cell. Each cell has electrolyte inlets and outlets at the top and bottom that circulate through each cell using a peristaltic pump. The battery prototype built was tested for five charge-discharge cycles with a constant current of 2 A for the charging process and 0.5 A for the discharging process using Turnigy Accucell. During the charge-discharge cycle test, monitoring and recording of voltage data is carried out using a Laptop PC. Data processing uses WebplotDigitizer and Microsoft Excel for data graphing. The results are analyzed and used to identify the operating voltage of the battery by taking the average voltage over five charge-discharge cycles. The average voltage is 13.98 V for the charging process and 12.11 V for the discharging process. Six-cell battery with full capacity works at a voltage range of 12.11-13.98 V. In the process of charging with a constant current of 2 A, the battery takes an average of 7.49 hours. So, the charging capacity can be estimated at 14,980 mAh. Whereas the battery discharge process takes an average of 11 hours with a constant current of 0.5 A to a voltage drop of 10.81 V. The resulting capacity of the discharged battery is 5500 mAh. \u0000Keywords: flowing electrolyte, lead acid battery, operating voltage","PeriodicalId":17898,"journal":{"name":"KnE Life Sciences","volume":"16 9","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-03-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140375753","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Interactive learning in the 21st century can be done by conducting virtual or real laboratory activities, even by combining the two in one activity at once. Various innovations in virtual laboratories have spread to optical materials, especially refraction by using a virtual spectrometer. Conceptually, the refractive index is a measure of the bending ray of a light beam as it passes from one medium to another. The refractive index is given by measurement between the refractive index of air, the angle of the prism, and the angle of minimum deviation. The angle of the prism and the angle of minimum deviation can be measured with a spectrometer. The spectrometer is a scientific instrument used to separate and measure the spectral components of physical phenomena and can separate white light and measure individual narrow color bands. Other than an on-hand spectrometer, other tools that we can use to measure the angle of minimum deviation are by using a virtual spectrometer provided by several virtual labs. The study aimed to compare the result of refractive index between on on-hand spectrometer and a virtual lab. Here we report our study on spectrometer whether the virtual lab experiment yields the same results as the real lab. We compare both results of experimental data using data and graph analytics. The results of the study show that the difference in the index of refraction measured between the virtual lab and the real lab is about 0.2%. This shows that there is no significant difference between virtual lab and real lab. \u0000Keywords: amrita virtual lab, real spectrometer, refractive index, blended laboratory","PeriodicalId":17898,"journal":{"name":"KnE Life Sciences","volume":"34 7","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-03-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140377032","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This method was chosen due to its accuracy in interpreting shallow subsurface layer with highly undulating refractors by determining time velocity analysis, XY optimum distances, and time depth analysis, then, the expected depth values can be achieved. The acquisition of data for this research was conducted using 13 geophones with forward and reverse sources, the data were then picked to get travel time values and inverted to obtain real geological setting of the earth.

Time series cross-validation with a 334 window was applied to 24 data series, and then each daily series was modeled with the Autoregressive Integrated Moving Average (ARIMA), Neural Network Autoregressive (NNAR), ExponenTial Smoothing (ETS), Singular Spectrum Analysis (SSA), and General Regression Neural Network (GRNN) models. In terms of mean absolute percentage error (MAPE) from one to seven steps ahead, we then evaluate the performance of all models. The experimental results show that the MAPEs obtained from the GRNN model tend to increase along with the theory. However, MAPEs obtained from ETS increase by up to three steps ahead and decrease after that. Among the five models, ARIMA, NNAR, and SSA produce a reasonably stable MAPE value for one to seven steps ahead.

One measure of export activity that can describe economic growth in Indonesia is The Export Unit Value Index, which is an index that measures changes in the price of export commodities sold by residents of one country to residents of other countries. The purpose of this study is to predict the unit value index of exports in Indonesia using a single input transfer function model and to see the influence of the value of oil and gas and non-oil and gas exports on the unit value index of exports in Indonesia. The single input transfer function model is a model that describes the future forecast of a series (output series) obtained based on the past values of the output series and other time series (input series) that affect the output series. The results of this study obtained a transfer function model with the order (0,0,1) with a noise series following ARIMA (1,0,1). Based on this model, the export unit value index at time t is influenced by the unit value export index in the previous month and is influenced by the oil and gas and non-oil and gas export value in the same month. As indicated by its MAPE value of 4.89%, the forecast value does not diverge much from the actual value, which suggests that the transfer function model can be used to predict the export unit value index in Indonesia. \u0000Keywords: forecasting, export unit value index, single input, transfer function","PeriodicalId":17898,"journal":{"name":"KnE Life Sciences","volume":"16 10","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-03-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140374683","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
