    A Review: Polymer-based Insulation Material for HVDC Cable Application
    Demand on the usage of HVDC cables in the past was very low, this is because at that time most its application is only for underwater cable installations. However, when there are an increased in demand for using renewable energy such as solar energy, the use of polymer-based as insulaton material for HVDC became increased. This have attracted more cable manufacturers try to improve this cable quality and attract more market penetration in order make the development costs recoverable. This paper presents a review the used of polymer-based material for HVDC cable application. Comparison and discussion from previous researcher and manufacturer was done in term of material properties and quality was presented and discussed. The review was focused 4 types of polymer-based material which are: cross-linked Polyethylene (XLPE), low-density polyethylene (LDPE), high-density polyethylene (HDPE), linear low-density polyethylene (LLDPE). Each material tests result were discussed for the best usage as HVDC insulation systems. The review found, polymer based material with additional of nana filler or difference type polymer can improve dielectric properties of HVDC cable insulator. This is because these material have very good indication of the conductivity and dielectric strength of high voltage insulation for HVDC application.

    The magnetic resonance inductive coupling energy transfer from transmitter to receiver is designed in this project through magnetic inductive coupling. The transmitter sends energy through induction to the electrical devices from the transmitter to the receiver and then stores the energy in the batteries. Because the transmitter coil has a gap with the receiver coil. This wireless charging using two methods to show the output, first using the Taguchi Method and second using Superimposed Technique. The Result shows that output voltage must high than the input voltage and the same at secondary coil because using the same number of turns. The output voltage at the voltage regulator shows the output must in 5 Volts to charging the mobile phone with high efficiency.

    Piezoelectric Array Configuration Technique into Enhance Power Catchment for Sound Energy Harvester System
    The objective of this study is to explore the harvest maximum output changes occurs in piezoelectric transducer when connected in different configuration to produce highest electricity consumption and generate sound energy harvesting system. Acoustic energy is a type of environmental energy source that can be extracted and converted into electrical energy for small-scale energy applications. In this study, the corresponding load resistance for single piezoelectric transducer is 4.5 k$\Omega$, together with a constant vibration source at a frequency of 68 Hz and a 1-g acceleration. The performance of output voltage and power of piezoelectric are evaluated and the optimum output is measured by depending on the connection of the piezoelectric transducer arrangement into series, parallel and series, and parallel which stimulated using Proteus software. The experiment result presented that, when have single piezo, 5 piezo connected in series, and 5 piezo connected in parallel, the output powers are 1.664 mW, 1.671mW and 7.676 mW, respectively. During the combination series and parallel connections, the output power of 3S1P piezo increases to 5.05mW. In a parallel configuration, the output voltage that produced is much higher than a piezoelectric transducer arrangement connected in series connection. The piezoelectric transducer that connected in parallel configurations increases its voltage output from 2.83 V to 13.05 V with the same polarity. The arrangement of piezoelectric transducer in parallel configuration is affordable, with its higher production of a higher power output compared to the arrangement of piezoelectric transducer in series connection. Whereas in terms of power output, the maximum power remains constant in the range of 1.665 to 1.671 mW when three transducers are in series configuration connection with the same polarity. In conclusion, the proper implementation of the piezoelectric array configuration is needed in order to operate the minimum energy for low load devices and promise to accomplish generated optimum power output in harvester system.
