The Department of Electrical Engineering, Faculty of Engineering, Diponegoro University, once again held the 2026 Electrical Engineering Student Final Project Expo on Tuesday, June 9, 2026. This event serves as a platform for senior students to showcase the research and design projects they have developed as part of their final projects.
Through the expo, students not only present their research findings to faculty and fellow students but also introduce various technological solutions relevant to the needs of society, industry, and current technological developments. The diverse topics on display reflect the breadth of the field of Electrical Engineering, ranging from power systems, electronics, telecommunications, the Internet of Things (IoT), renewable energy, to information technology and digital health.
The diverse innovations showcased at the 2026 Final Project EXPO reflect the breadth of academic fields being developed in the Department of Electrical Engineering at UNDIP. In the field of power systems, students presented research on the design and fabrication of support insulators for a 150 kV lightning arrester system made of epoxy resin with an anti-pollution coating, aimed at improving the reliability of high-voltage equipment in coastal environments. Additionally, the exhibition featured the design of a new 20 kV distribution network feeder in the Batang Industrial Park to support growing industrial energy needs; a plan for reconfiguring the medium-voltage network on Burung Island, Riau Province, to improve the quality and reliability of the electricity supply; as well as the design of a power quality improvement system for three-phase nonlinear load installations at PT Krakatau Tirta Industri through harmonic control and system operation optimization.
In the field of renewable energy, students presented the Solar Home Charging Station project, which utilizes solar energy as a power source for charging electric vehicles, as well as a pico-hydro power plant simulator based on a Permanent Magnet Synchronous Motor and Generator (PMSM-PMSG) system, designed to simulate the plant’s operational characteristics in a more practical and economical manner. Meanwhile, the telecommunications and electronics sector was represented by the development of Light Fidelity (Li-Fi) technology, which uses LED light as a medium for high-speed data communication with a higher level of security compared to radio-wave-based communication.
In addition to focusing on electricity and telecommunications, students also showcased innovations in the fields of information technology and the Internet of Things (IoT). One such innovation is DipCare, a web-based application developed to facilitate self-administered mental health screenings for students in an easily accessible manner. Additionally, a LoRa-IoT-based air quality monitoring system was showcased, equipped with early warning features and a smart DC UPS, enabling real-time air quality monitoring and ensuring continuous operation even during power outages. The 2026 Final Project EXPO serves as a testament to the commitment of the Department of Electrical Engineering at UNDIP to encouraging students to produce innovative works that not only contribute academically but also have the potential to provide solutions to various real-world problems in the fields of electrical power, information technology, telecommunications, and sustainable energy. Through this expo, it is hoped that students’ research findings will inspire the academic community to continue developing innovations and strengthening the culture of research within the Department of Electrical Engineering at Diponegoro University.
