Privacy Preserving In Association Rules Using A Genetic Algorithm, Rahat Ali Shah, Sohail Asghar Jan 2014

Privacy Preserving In Association Rules Using A Genetic Algorithm, Rahat Ali Shah, Sohail Asghar

Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences

Association rule mining is one of the data mining techniques used to extract hidden knowledge from large datasets. This hidden knowledge contains useful and confidential information that users want to keep private from the public. Similarly, privacy preserving data mining techniques are used to preserve such confidential information or restrictive patterns from unauthorized access. The pattern can be represented in the form of a frequent itemset or association rule. Furthermore, a rule or pattern is marked as sensitive if its disclosure risk is above a given threshold. Numerous techniques have been used to hide sensitive association rules by performing some …


Optimal Reactive Power Flow Solution In Multiterminal Ac-Dc Systems Based On Artificial Bee Colony Algorithm, Faruk Yalçin, Uğur Ari̇foğlu Jan 2014

Optimal Reactive Power Flow Solution In Multiterminal Ac-Dc Systems Based On Artificial Bee Colony Algorithm, Faruk Yalçin, Uğur Ari̇foğlu

Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences

Active power loss optimization is one of the important goals in electrical power systems and it is provided by optimal reactive power flow (ORPF). In this study, a new approach for the solution of the ORPF in multiterminal AC-DC systems is proposed. This approach provides 3 main contributions. First, the convergence problem in the AC-DC power flow is solved. Second, the problem of getting stuck in local minima during the optimization process is overcome. Third, a better global optimum point is obtained for the ORPF. Active power loss optimization is implemented through the artificial bee colony (ABC) algorithm, which is …


Analysis Of A Rule-Based Curriculum Plan Optimization System With Spearman Rank Correlation, Di̇dem Abi̇di̇n, Hafi̇ze Şen Çakir Jan 2014

Analysis Of A Rule-Based Curriculum Plan Optimization System With Spearman Rank Correlation, Di̇dem Abi̇di̇n, Hafi̇ze Şen Çakir

Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences

In corporations, accurate planning should be applied to manage the in-service training task within an optimum time period and without hindering the working tempo of the employees. For this reason, it is better to consider the curriculum planning task as a timetabling problem. However, when the timetables are prepared manually, it may turn out to be a complicated and time-consuming problem. In this study, it is aimed to evaluate the results of software introduced previously, which seeks to find a solution to the curriculum planning problem of in-service training programs in corporations using a rule-based genetic algorithm (GA). The input …


Solving A New Bi-Objective Joint Replenishment Inventory Model With Modified Rand And Genetic Algorithms, Ommolbanin Yousefi, Seyed Jafar Sadjadi Jan 2014

Solving A New Bi-Objective Joint Replenishment Inventory Model With Modified Rand And Genetic Algorithms, Ommolbanin Yousefi, Seyed Jafar Sadjadi

Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences

There are many cases in real inventory systems where more than one objective must be optimized. The main purpose of this research is to develop a multiobjective joint replenishment problem (JRP), where one objective is the minimization of the total inventory investment and another is the minimization of the total inventory ordering and holding costs. To solve the suggested model, 3 algorithms are proposed. In the first algorithm, the existing RAND method, called the best heuristic for solving the JRP, is modified and a new heuristic algorithm is developed to be applicable to the JRP with 2 objectives. The second …


Control Of Svc Based On The Sliding Mode Control Method, Ercan Köse, Hakan Kizmaz, Kadi̇r Abaci, Saadetti̇n Aksoy Jan 2014

Control Of Svc Based On The Sliding Mode Control Method, Ercan Köse, Hakan Kizmaz, Kadi̇r Abaci, Saadetti̇n Aksoy

Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences

A genetic algorithm (GA)-based sliding mode controller is proposed to improve the voltage stability of a power system with a static var compensator. The proposed controller is examined for improving the load bus voltage, which changes under different demanding powers, and its performance for transient analysis is compared with the Ziegler--Nichols proportional-integral (ZNPI), Lyapunov-based sliding mode control (LASMC), and GA-based proportional-integral-derivative (GAPID) controllers. The dynamic equations, consisting of a 2-bus nonlinear system, are converted to a mathematical description of sliding mode techniques. The optimum values of the sliding mode controller and proportional-integral-derivative (PID) coefficients that are required are calculated using …


Induction Motor Parameter Estimation Using Metaheuristic Methods, Ali̇ İhsan Çanakoğlu, Asim Gökhan Yetgi̇n, Hasan Temurtaş, Mustafa Turan Jan 2014

Induction Motor Parameter Estimation Using Metaheuristic Methods, Ali̇ İhsan Çanakoğlu, Asim Gökhan Yetgi̇n, Hasan Temurtaş, Mustafa Turan

Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences

The steady-state equivalent circuit parameters of an induction motor can be estimated using the operation characteristics that are provided by manufacturers. The characteristics of the motor used in estimation methods are the starting, maximum, and nominal torque values; the power factor; and efficiency. The operation characteristics of a motor given in data sheets are generally based on design parameters and are not suitable with real values. For this reason, in this paper, the data used in the parameter estimation for induction motors are taken from the literature. Using an optimization method for parameter estimation is useful for comparing the manufacturer …
