DEVELOPMENT OF SOLAR POWER PLANT AS SUPPORTING FACILITY FOR FISH FARMING IN KARANG PLOSO, PASURUAN

2024-10-20T19:49:34+07:00

The freshwater fish farm, developed by the Maju Rukun community in Dusun Karang Ploso, Ngerong, has faced issues with slow fish growth and poor water quality after operating for seven months. These problems are caused by inadequate water circulation systems, resulting in a delayed growth process that normally takes only 3 to 4 months. The situation is exacerbated by poor drainage and high electricity consumption for a 0.5 HP (370 Watt) water pump. The water must be partially replaced with new water on a regular basis to maintain its quality. This procedure increases electricity consumption from the public grid or Perusahaan Listrik Negara (PLN) and raises operational costs by up to 80%, especially during the dry season. To address this issue, a community service project has been carried out to develop a 1.7 kWp hybrid Solar Power Plant. This system is designed to reduce reliance on PLN electricity and to provide additional energy for water circulation using solar panels and batteries. Additionally, this community service also includes training on how to operate and perform maintenance of the installed system for the Maju Rukun community and the locals. Implementing the hybrid power plant has significantly reduced electricity costs from PLN. Moreover, fish farm productivity has increased and contributed positively to the development of renewable energy technology in the fisheries sector.

UTILIZING 3D MAPPING PHOTOGRAMMETRY AND AIRFEEL WEATHER MONITORING FOR SOLAR AND WIND POWER PLANT DEVELOPMENT PLANNING ON GILI IYANG

2024-07-05T07:20:13+07:00

This article discusses community service activities on Gili Iyang Island, Sumenep, Madura, which focus on implementing appropriate technology in sensing the potential of renewable energy sources. Gili Iyang Island itself is an area that actively encourages the use of renewable energy. In this activity, maintenance and monitoring of data on AirFeel are carried out, including device checks and monitoring data accuracy levels through periodic calibration. Airfeel is used as a weather station to measure the potential of renewable energy, especially wind and solar energy. The potential for wind energy is considered from the speed and direction of the wind, while the potential for solar energy is considered from the level of solar irradiation. These parameters allow Airfeel to determine the optimal location for renewable energy generation based on weather conditions. Additionally, the DJI Phantom 4 Pro RTK drone was used for 3D Mapping Photogrammetry. This technology aids in creating three-dimensional maps that are considered in the planning and development of renewable energy power plants at the location. Implementing these two technologies can contribute to future planning for developing other renewable energy sources in Gili Iyang Island.

In the world of veterinary medicine, maintaining the cleanliness of pets is one of the efforts to suppress the occurrence of zoonosis. One effort that can be done is by routinely grooming. Grooming is a hygiene treatment that includes bathing, cleaning ears, cutting nails, and combing hair. However, currently in Pangkep Regency, several problems have been found along with the increase in the number of pet lovers, one of which is the lack of knowledge of owners about the procedures for legitimate grooming. This factor then became the background for the creation of a workshop to empower pet lovers with grooming skills in Pangkep Regency. The purpose of this activity is to transfer knowledge by providing socialization and direct demonstrations regarding the procedures for legitimate grooming of pets to avoid integument diseases and conditions that can trigger the emergence of new diseases after improper grooming in Pangkep Regency. These legitimate grooming procedures can be adopted and utilized by the community, namely basic knowledge of grooming techniques that can be applied directly to pets at home. This will help owners to save on grooming costs for their pets. During the implementation of the activity, a demonstration of legal grooming was carried out on two cats, pocket books were distributed, and educational videos were shown on legal grooming technique guides. Participants who attended were 42 pet owners who were members of the Pangkep pet lovers group, where at the end of the activity session a questionnaire was filled out by the owners. Based on the results of the survey conducted, 39 were able to answer the questions from the questionnaire correctly, the rest were owners who did not follow the activity until the end due to other activities outside the location of this service. This is a reflection of the improvement in legal grooming skills in owners who previously only 8 out of 37 respondents understood the legal grooming aspect.

Simulation or chemical modeling with computers is a major topic in computational chemistry. This subject is not covered in high school material, however, this method can be applied to support a more interactive learning process. Computational chemistry can be used as a virtual teaching aid and can also be used to help explain or predict chemical reactivity. The aim of this Community Service is to improve teachers' understanding of computational chemistry, both in theory and practice, according to the curriculum. The training activities were conducted using two methods: Lectures and practical sessions. Avogadro 1.2.0 and MOPAC2016 software were used for this training. The outcome of this program were evaluated using quantitative and qualitative analysis. The sustainability of the program was analyzed from the assignments regarding the plan to integrate the material provided into the learning process at schools. Based on the evaluation results, participants felt that the training they had received met their teaching needs. After participating in this training, the participants had various ideas for integrating computational chemistry into learning activities.
