The Department of Engineering Education at KMITL offers courses in power electronics laboratory practices, which require the use of expensive imported training kits. This results in a loss of national revenue due to the purchase of these imported kits. Therefore, the developers propose a power electronics training kit that offers equivalent or superior functionality to the imported ones while being more cost-effective, making it suitable for student experiments.
การเรียนการสอนรายวิชาอิเล็กทรอนิกส์กำลังในปัจจุบัน มีการใช้การจำลองการทำงานด้วยโปรแกรมคอมพิวเตอร์ เนื่องจากขาดแคลนชุดทดลองจริง ซึ่งการทดลองกับอุปกรณ์จริงยังมีจำเป็นเป็นอย่างยิ่ง ดังนั้นจึงมีการริเริ่มในการสร้างด้วยตนเองเพื่อให้สามารถนำมาใช้ในการเรียนการสอนได้

This thesis project was conducted to identify the optimal conditions for producing concentrated butterfly pea juice using vacuum evaporation to preserve key compounds in butterfly pea flowers, such as anthocyanins—natural pigments with high antioxidant properties. The study applies a Box-Behnken Design, a statistical method that facilitates analysis of multiple factors. The research focuses on the ratio of dried butterfly pea flowers to water, extraction temperature, and evaporation temperature, each of which has a direct effect on the preservation of key compounds, color, aroma, and flavor. The results indicate that using a dried flower-to-water ratio of 1:15, an extraction temperature of 60°C, and an evaporation temperature of 40°C under low pressure can minimize the loss of essential compounds and best retain the properties of the concentrated butterfly pea juice. Findings from this research provide a foundation for developing an industrial production process for concentrated butterfly pea juice and enhance the potential for creating new products from butterfly pea flowers.

This project aims to design and develop a propulsion system for agricultural equipment using RFID technology and evaluate its movement performance on different surfaces, including concrete and grass. The experiment focuses on examining the tag detection range under transmission power levels of 20 dBm, 23 dBm, and 26 dBm, as well as the impact of antenna angles on detection efficiency. Additionally, the system was tested in three movement scenarios: straight path, left turn, and right turn, at distances of 2 meters, 4 meters, and 6 meters. The results indicate that the system achieved the highest average speed of 0.4736 m/s and an average turning angle of 91.6° when moving in a straight path on a concrete surface at a distance of 4 meters. On a grass surface at the same distance, the average speed was 0.4483 m/s, with an average turning angle of 91.1°. For left and right turns, the movement on the concrete surface generally exhibited a higher average speed than on grass, particularly at a distance of 4 meters, where differences in turning angles were observed. This study provides insights into the factors affecting the movement of agricultural mowing equipment and serves as a foundation for enhancing the efficiency of propulsion systems in future developments.
