Four (4) research papers from the Department of Electrical Engineering (DEE) of Caraga State University โ Cabadbaran Campus (CSUCC) were presented at the 23rd International Conference on Electrical Engineering/Electronics, Computer, Telecommunication, and Information Technology (ECTI-CON 2026), held in Chonburi, Thailand, with the DEE faculty participating virtually via Zoom on May 28โ29, 2026.
ECTI-CON 2026 is a prestigious and well-established international conference, now on its 23rd edition, serving as a recognized platform for researchers, engineers, academicians, and industry practitioners to present recent developments, innovative ideas, and technological advances in electrical engineering, electronics, computer engineering, telecommunications, and information technology. The conference proceedings are expected to provide wider research visibility, with the presented papers set for publication and indexing in recognized academic databases, including Scopus.
The papers were presented by DEE faculty researchers, reflecting the departmentโs continued commitment to research productivity, innovation, and community-responsive engineering solutions. The studies addressed relevant and timely areas such as electrical system redesign, wastewater reuse, solar-powered water treatment, and renewable energy applications for rural communities.
Engr. Erickson A. Tacda, MSEE, CEPRIC Center Chief, presented two (2) research papers during the conference: The research study titled โIntegrated Technical and Economic Evaluation of a Multi-Pass Rice Mill Electrical System Redesign Using ETAP,โ which examined the technical and economic aspects of improving the electrical system of a multi-pass rice mill using ETAP simulation and analysis; and another research study titled โComparative Techno-Economic Analysis of Solar Powered and Hybrid Streetlight Configurations in Rural Areas: A Case Study in Magallanes, Agusan del Norte,โ which assessed the feasibility and economic performance of solar-powered and hybrid streetlight systems for rural applications.
The research article titled โMulti-Stage Filtration with Microcontroller-Driven Loopback for Rinsed-Wastewater Reuse,โ was presented by Engr. Kemberly R. Taรฑare, College Research Coordinator. The study introduced a microcontroller-driven filtration system designed to support the reuse of rinsed wastewater through an automated loopback process.
Lastly, the research study titled โPortable Solar-Powered Five-Stage Point-of-Use Water Treatment for Off-Grid Emergencies,โ was presented by Engr. Mirafe Nalaza, EE Faculty. The research focused on the development of a portable solar-powered water treatment system intended for emergency situations and off-grid communities.
DEEโs participation in this established international conference underscores the capability of CSUCC faculty researchers to contribute to global academic discussions and to produce studies aligned with sustainable development, technological innovation, and local community needs.
This achievement marks another significant milestone for DEE and CSUCC in strengthening their research profile, expanding international visibility, and fostering a culture of innovation, collaboration, and excellence among faculty researchers.
