Continual Emergency Source of Electrical Power (CESEP) on IoT-Based Ships


The student who made the title of this Final Project is Erlangga Duta Rahino from the D4 Ship Electrical Engineering Study Program.

Emergency Source of Electrical Power or commonly abbreviated as ESEP on ships is an electrical system that works when the main generator and standby generator blackout. The energy source comes from an emergency generator or battery connected to a DC to AC inverter that automatically works to supply 220V alternating current temporary electrical power for communication and navigation systems and emergency lights. In its application there are shortcomings, namely when the ship experiences a blackout there is still a time lag to turn on ESEP. This disrupts the performance of communication and navigation devices that should be able to immediately contact and request assistance from the land and surrounding parties.

This tool can be a solution so that this does not happen by making an uninterrupted automatic power control and switching system using Continual Emergency Source of Electrical Power. There are three main circuits namely Battery Charger, Switching and Inverter. Using the PZEM 004T AC sensor as an AC voltage detector from the generator and DC sensor as a DC voltage detector from the battery. All of these systems are combined with LoRa and Arduino Uno wireless communication modules and displayed on the LCD to determine the amount of voltage both AC and DC in the system to control and send notification on land that the ship is experiencing a blackout.
