Denpasar, LenteraEsai.id – The KSR team continues to provide proud news for the Faculty of Engineering, Udayana University (FT Unud).With a work entitled 'Petrashed (Peltier Electric Organic Trash Powered) Machine Converting Organic Waste into Electrical Energy Using the TEC 12706 Module as a Thermoelectric Generator' under the guidance of Ir I Gusti Ngurah Janardana MErg, the KSR Team won 3rd place in the Renewable Energy Innovation Brainstorm event Futures 2022.Renewable Energy Innovation Brainstorm Futurest 2022 is one of the events held by the Society of Renewable Energy, Sepuluh Nopember Institute of Technology (ITS).This event aims to explore various innovations in renewable energy.Previously, the KSR team was required to submit a full paper as an initial requirement to participate in the following competition.Later, from this full paper, only 10 teams will be able to enter the final round and present their work in front of the judges.Armed with the experience and suggestions of the judges in previous competitions, the work created by the KSR Team continues to be developed from design, concept, to the final product produced.“The tool we made is an improvement on the tools we made before.The previous tool had quite a number of shortcomings, especially the absence of a filter that could reduce emissions from combustion," said Widi as the head of the KSR Team.According to the FT Unud student, Indonesia has a lot of potential for organic waste that can be used as a medium to generate electrical energy.“Using waste leaves, wood/twigs, and coconut shells as fuel, this 'Petrashed' device is capable of generating 500.24 Wh of electrical energy in 8 working hours of operation.In addition, the residue from the burning of this tool in the form of charcoal and ashes can also be sold so that it can increase the income of its users," said Widi.By becoming a champion at NEC Futurest 2022, continued Widi, hopefully it can be a motivation for other students to develop and continue to provide various innovations in their respective fields.Especially in the field of renewable energy which is currently being intensively promoted by the Indonesian government."So that in the future we can make Indonesia free from the use of thermal energy derived from fossils and coal," he said.In the final round of Futurest 2022, the KSR Team competed with 4 teams from the Sepuluh November Institute of Technology, 3 teams from Gadjah Mada University, 1 team from the University of Indonesia, 1 team from Andalas University, and 1 team from the Bandung Institute of Technology (ITB).(LE-DP)Source: www.unud.ac.id
