A Novel Efficient Model For The Power Flow Analysis Of Power Systems, Amir Safdarian, Mahmud Fotuhi Firuzabad, Farrokh Aminifar
Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences
The overall system status calculated by power flow analysis is the most basic information used for all decisions taken by power system operators and planners. While conventional AC power flow solutions are computationally tractable, approximate DC models are employed in many applications, such as optimal power flow studies and unit commitment problems, mainly due to the linear nature of DC models. These models do not provide any information on the reactive power and voltage magnitude quantities and occasionally inaccurate results of the active power values. This paper presents an efficient power flow approach compromising both the conflicting aspects of speed …

Hence, a novel gradient-based method is presented, exploiting the discrete gradient concept and the forward Euler discretization under the assumption of the continuous Hamiltonian model is known. It is proven that the proposed discrete-time model structure defines a symplectic difference system and has the energy-conserving property under some conditions. In order to provide alternate discrete-time models, 3 different discrete-gradient definitions are given. The proposed models are convenient for the design of sampled-data controllers. All of the models are considered for several well-known Hamiltonian systems and …

Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences
In this study, the rate equation analysis of a BH-laser diode was performed for output carrier density (N_o) using the zero-degree solution of the Volterra series. The carrier rate equation of the laser diode was analyzed in terms of input carrier density (N_i) and output carrier density modeling (N_i-N_o), with respect to the DC current (I_o). The polynomial root, which is obtained from the zero-degree solution (N_o) and limit values of I_o, was found. For the linear operation of the laser diode, the range of I_o current was also determined using a linearization approach and the maximum value of N_o.

Thus, it is necessary to prioritize the test cases in accordance with their importance as the tester perceives it, usually given by several attributes of relevant events entailed. Based on event-oriented graph models, this paper proposes an approach to ranking test cases in accordance with their preference degrees. For forming preference groups, events are clustered using an unsupervised neural network and fuzzy …
A New Hysteresis Band Current Control Technique For A Shunt Active Filter, Murat Kale, Engi̇n Özdemi̇r
A New Hysteresis Band Current Control Technique For A Shunt Active Filter, Murat Kale, Engi̇n Özdemi̇r
Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences
This paper proposes a hysteresis band (HB) current control technique to reduce the power losses in a shunt active filter. During a switching period in the zero-crossing region, the inverter output current flows through a transistor. By changing the direction, it flows through the free-wheeling diode of the same switch in an inverter leg, or vice versa. The shunt active filter current typically has 6 zero-crossing regions during a fundamental frequency cycle. This paper presents a HB current control technique where there is not any switching in these 6 zero-crossing regions per period, which results in reducing the power losses. …

Dwmt Transceiver Equalization Using Overlap Fde For Downlink Adsl, Arsla Khan, Sobia Baig, Tabassum Nawaz
Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences
Discrete wavelet multitone (DWMT) modulation is a wavelet transform based technique implemented using perfect reconstruction filter banks. It has been recently proposed for various wireline channels such as digital subscriber loops (DSLs) as a solution to the problems posed by a discrete multitone (DMT) transceiver including interblock interference (IBI) and lower spectral efficiency due to the employment of a cyclic prefix (CP) in the guard interval (GI) for DMT symbols. The greater side lobe attenuation offered by wavelet filter banks results in improved spectral containment and lower IBI in DWMT transceivers. However, no standard equalization technique exists for a DWMT …
