In Indonesia, growing fish consumption demands necessitate expanded, yet sustainable, fish production without sacrificing quality. The process of feeding and the quality of the surrounding water are important factors influencing fish quality. To address this, Parahyangan Catholic Universitys Fishery 4.0 project pioneers a unique technology that integrates water quality monitoring with a feeding feature. The design and implementation of an independent, reliable power module, which is fundamental to the functionality of this system, is at the focus of this research. This study shows that a designed power module adapted to the specific needs of Fishery 4.0 is feasible. The system powers all modules with a 12 V battery and is recharged with a solar panel. The battery can be charged to 95% capacity, yielding 8550 mAh from a 9000 mAh capacity. A UC-3906 charger IC controls the charging process, deliberately managing the parameters required for optimal battery charging. Particularly, when exposed to ideal solar radiation, the charger recharges a 9 Ah battery from 30% to full capacity in about 10 hours and 10 minutes. This study proposes a novel approach to battery management, which is critical for the operation of aquaculture equipment at isolated locations.

Conclusion

0 at Parahyangan Catholic University introduces a reliable solar-powered energy system that marks a significant advance in autonomous aquaculture technology.This innovative setup uses a 12V battery, charged by solar panels via the UC-3906 charger IC, ensuring efficient and stable power management.The systems ability to recharge the battery to 95% capacity highlights its effectiveness, especially considering the specific charging needs of a 12V lead acid battery.

Future Research

Further research should investigate the long-term performance and durability of the dual-battery system under varying environmental conditions, such as extreme temperatures and humidity, to assess its reliability in diverse aquaculture settings. Additionally, exploring the integration of predictive maintenance algorithms, utilizing data from the battery management system and weather forecasts, could optimize charging schedules and extend battery lifespan, reducing operational costs and downtime. Finally, a comparative study evaluating the economic feasibility and environmental impact of this solar-powered system against traditional power sources, considering factors like installation costs, maintenance requirements, and carbon footprint, would provide valuable insights for wider adoption in the aquaculture industry and other remote applications. These investigations, building upon the current research, will contribute to a more sustainable and efficient energy solution for aquaculture and beyond, fostering innovation and responsible resource management.
