2025-03-15T07:41:46+07:00

Located on the Pacific Ring of Fire, Indonesia has great potential in significant geothermal energy. Kamojang, located in Samarang District, is one of the areas that show this potential. This study aims to assess the existence of geothermal potential in Kamojang through fault density analysis using the Fault Fracture Density (FFD) method. The data used are fault patterns from the National Digital Elevation Model (DEMNas) which are then analyzed to calculate the density of cracks and presented in the form of contour maps. The resulting FFD values range from -0.5 to 9.5 km/km². The results show that the alignment pattern in Kamojang is mostly northwest - southeast, which is closely related to tectonic movements and the formation of active faults in the area. Although the FFD value in this area is relatively low, the presence of active faults still provides a pathway for the movement of geothermal fluids that form geothermal manifestations such as geothermal craters. These results provide important insights to support the management and development of geothermal energy in the Kamojang area.

LIMITTING REDUCTION RATIO AS THE SIZE LIMIT FOR MATERIAL REDUCTION OPERATIONS IN A SINGGLE TOGGLE JAW CRUSHER

2025-03-18T10:48:12+07:00

Reduction Ratio (RR) can be used to estimate the size of product that can be produced by a crusher. The reduction ratio can be calculated in several ways. One calculation that can be done is calculating the Limitting Reduction Ratio (LRR). Limiting Reduction Ratio is a comparison between the largest feed size and the largest product size. This research aims to calculate the Limiting Reduction Ratio in clay stone crushing operations for 30 samples, which was carried out on a laboratory scale, using a single toggle jaw crusher type crusher. Crushed products are separated by hand sieving sizes +4#, 10#, 20#, 40#, 60#,100#, 200#. The research results show that the percentage of crushed products produced is still found in the largest sieve size, namely 4#, with an average amount of 52.33%. The largest feed size ranges from 24 mm to 27 mm and the largest product size ranges from 4 mm to 6 mm. The relationship between total feed weight and total product weight can be expressed in the equation Y = 0.5229 X and R² = 0.9228, while the relationship between the largest feed size and the largest product size is expressed in the equation Y = 0.2044 X and R² = 0.9761.

DETAIL MORPHOLOGICAL ANALYSIS TO MAPPING SURFACE LITOLOGICAL CHARACTERSTIC UNIT

2025-04-15T15:05:21+07:00

Regional spatial planning requires accurate data according to the planning scale. One of the problems encountered in the analysis of spatial planning in Indonesia is the unavailability of some basic data that have a level of detail according to planning needs, including geological data. RTRWK requires a map at a scale of 1:50,000, while the availability of a Geological Map at a Scale of 1:50,000 from the Ministry of Energy and Mineral Resources is still very limited. This study aims to produce surface geological distribution data and its characteristics needed in spatial planning with a morphological analysis approach. Detailed morphological analysis is carried out by processing Digital Elevation Model data with a spatial resolution of 8 meters. Detailing of the morphological classification is carried out on the BMB classification. Morphological interpretation is carried out in stages by dividing the land surface from general to detailed, producing classes of high ridged hills, low ridged hills, undulating valleys between hills and plains. Landform interpretation is carried out by adding geological structure data and rock types in the analysis, producing landform classes of high hills elongated fault zones, low hills elongated fault zones, undulating valleys between hills in fault zones, and alluvial plains. Landform units of elongated hills of fault zones can be detailed based on the relief pattern and slope gradient into ridge, steep slope, and gentle slope. Low hills elongated fault zones can be divided into ridge and gentle slope. Meanwhile, the undulating valleys between the hills of the fault zone and the alluvial plains do not show any further variations. The andesite breccia rock unit is the lithology that forms the morphology of elongated ridged hills, the undulating valleys between the hills are formed from andesite breccia colluvium rock units, while the alluvial plains are formed from alluvium rock units. The division of detailed morphology in the hills reflects the differences in the characteristics of the degree of weathering of the rocks and the weathering materials. The andesite breccia rock unit on the ridge experiences strong weathering and produces a lot of in-situ soil material. The andesite breccia bedrock exposed on steep slopes experiences early weathering with thin soil deposits on top and has several andesite boulders deposited in the bends of the slopes. Gentle slopes have surface rock units dominated by colluvium material. This unit consists of andesite breccia boulders scattered on the surface mixed with weathered soil material from ridge and/or steep slopes. The undulating valleys between hills also have characteristics of surface rock units consisting of andesite breccia boulders on the land surface with thick soil resulting from the accumulation of weathered soil from the hills. Alluvial rock units on alluvial plains do not reflect significant variations.

OPTIMIZATION OF HYBRID PHOTOVOLTAIC THERMOELECTRIC GENERATOR SYSTEM FOR IMPROVING SOLAR PANEL EFFICIENCY

2025-04-15T14:48:24+07:00

The utilization of solar energy through photovoltaic (PV) technology continues to evolve as a promising renewable energy source. However, the efficiency of solar panels remains limited by heat generated during operation, causing performance degradation as temperature rises. This phenomenon presents a major challenge in optimizing PV technology. This research aims to enhance the efficiency of photovoltaic systems by incorporating Thermoelectric Generator (TEG) modules, resulting in an innovative hybrid Photovoltaic-Thermoelectric Generator (PV-TEG) system. The PV-TEG hybrid system is designed to harness excess heat produced by solar panels, which is then converted into additional electrical energy through TEG modules, utilizing the Seebeck effect. In this experimental study, two heat transfer methods were tested and compared: Micro-Channel Heat Pipe (MCHP) and copper plate. Both methods were evaluated to enhance the temperature gradient across the TEG modules, with the goal of optimizing the hybrid system's performance. The research methodology included design, fabrication, and testing of PV-TEG hybrid system prototypes under various controlled environmental conditions. Measured parameters included operational temperature, output voltage, current, and total power generated. Thermodynamic and electrical analyses were conducted to evaluate energy conversion efficiency and overall system performance. Test results showed that the PV-TEG hybrid system could increase overall efficiency by up to 10% compared to conventional solar panels. The use of copper plates as heat transfer media resulted in higher efficiency compared to MCHP, indicating greater potential for practical implementation. Economic analysis also demonstrated the long-term feasibility of this hybrid system, despite higher initial costs.In conclusion, the developed PV-TEG hybrid system makes a significant contribution to improving the energy efficiency of solar panels.
