On may 27, 2008 I am with social group community – JSN (Join Society for Nature) going to Untung Jawa Island which is one of Seribu Islands in Indonesia. Untung Jawa island is very attractive island that have a long beach with white sand and many mangrove tree. The mangrove tree very inportant to take care water ecosystem and water quality on that island. But, nowday it is not so beautiful because there are much plastic waste on arround of Untung Jawa beach with caused by waste from Jakarta throw away in river that flow to java ocean.

At 2007 my team KAMASE (Students Energy Community – www.kamase.org) Gadjah Mada University, Indonesia collaborate with Curtin University Team, Australia has become the Winner of Mondialogo Engineering Award 2007. This international competition is about intercultural dialogue between young engineer from develop country and developing country to help people in developing country. Mondialogo Engineering Award is initiated by Daimler and UNESCO.
Also I have join in Mondialogo Symposium at Mumbai, India as representative of Indonesia team. On that symposium we explain our project and advantage for local people in my country. We plan to built hybrid power generation using photovoltaic and genset for local people in Panggang District, Yogyakarta Indonesia. Currently, this project has begin and hopely this project could successful and has positive benefit for local people.
There are many kinds of renewable energy and not all suitable enough to generate electricity. Some kind of renewable energy that nowday has big atenttion is wind power. To generate electricity from wind we need wind turbine and there are two kinds of wind turbine, which are HAWT (Horizontal Axis Wind Turbine) and VAWT (Vertical Axis Wind Turbine). HAWT has enter marketplace and many country on sub-tropical area has install this technology to produce electricity with clean and environment-safe method. That because HAWT promise the high efficiency and have big installing capacity (~ Megawatt electric). Continue Reading »
Many kinds of energy sources which available in the nature but not all could be easy used by human being. We have to convert itself become one kind of energy which easy transport/distribute and used for widely applications. By research, we choose electric power as media for store energy and until nowdays electric power still become the mainly media for storing energy. Because the capability on storing energy and not available naturally, we can said the electric power as energy carier. We have to produce electric power by converting energy sources which available naturally, like using steam turbine, photovoltaic, wind turbine, etc. Continue Reading »
