Abstract

Abstract Natural disasters often occur on this earth, especially in Indonesia. There are several types of disasters that occur, namely: geological disasters, hydrometeorological disasters and others. This natural disaster caused quite a lot of casualties and not a few material. Good post-natural disaster management is necessary to minimize the number of victims of a disaster. One form of handling this natural disaster is by providing electrical energy that can be used to provide lighting and communication systems. The provision of electrical energy consists of several integrated systems to form a compact, simple and efficient unit. This tool consists of a Solar Power Generation system, GenSet system, inverter system, Change Over Switch system and Global Positioning System system. This tool is named SUNPO which stands for Sun Power or Solar Power. With this SUNPO, it can function as a power supply to power direct current loads and alternating current loads. If the solar power is not enough to charge the battery then the system can be operated with a GenSet. Meanwhile, to find out the position of SUNPO, a Global Positioning System is also installed. Highlights: Effective Disaster Response: Efficient post-disaster management is crucial to minimize casualties and damage caused by natural disasters, especially in Indonesia. SUNPO Tool Integration: The SUNPO (Sun Power) tool integrates solar power generation, GenSet backup, inverter, changeover switch, and GPS systems to provide a reliable and compact solution for electricity supply in disaster-stricken areas. Dual Power Source: SUNPO offers dual power sources - solar energy and GenSet - ensuring continuous electricity supply for both direct and alternating current loads, enhancing communication and lighting systems for affected communities. Keywords: Natural disasters, Post-disaster management, SUNPO, Solar Power, Global Positioning System.

Abstract

Addressing challenges in solar panel systems, hybrid energy storage systems have gained prominence but face distribution imbalances. This study presents a power distribution approach for hybrid systems in intermittent solar scenarios, leveraging First-Order Filters to allocate power between primary and supporting storage. By employing Lowpass and Highpass First-Order Filters, energy management issues in off-grid systems are addressed. Experimental findings reveal that during high intermittency, the battery stores 387 W and contributes 62 W, while the supercapacitor stores 297 W and contributes 167 W as the primary storage. Conversely, during low intermittency, the battery stores 390 W and contributes 62 W, while the supercapacitor stores 295 W and contributes 164 W. Surprisingly, the supercapacitor doesn't outperform the battery in power efficiency as the primary storage. This work contributes to enhancing the viability of solar-powered hybrid energy storage systems by optimizing power distribution strategies. Highlight: Distribution Imbalances in Hybrid Systems: Hybrid energy storage systems for solar panels face challenges in power distribution, motivating the need for innovative solutions. First-Order Filter Allocation: This research introduces a power distribution approach utilizing First-Order Filters to effectively allocate power between primary and supporting storage in intermittent solar scenarios. Comparative Power Efficiency: Experimental results demonstrate the performance of battery and supercapacitor as primary storage, revealing unexpected power efficiency outcomes under varying solar intermittency, informing strategic energy management decisions.
