Study On Variability Smoothing Benefits Of Wind Farm Cluster, Xuemei Dai, Kaifeng Zhang, Jian Geng, Qianqian Liu, Ying Wang, Yuan Kun, Yahui Qiao, Yonghui Liu

Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences

Smoothing effect is an important characteristic of large scale wind power. In this paper we analyze the smoothing effect from the prospect of output variability. Specifically, the aggregated output variability of a wind farm cluster may be significantly lower than that of an independent wind farm, and this phenomenon is referred to as the variability smoothing effect. In order to quantitatively analyze the variability smoothing effect, this paper introduces the concept of variability costs and evaluates the variability costs of each wind farm and overall wind farm cluster based on an optimal scheduling model. It is found that the variability …

Design Of A Fractional Order Pid Controller With Application To An Induction Motor Drive, Ashraf Saleem, Hisham Soliman, Serein Al-Ratrout, Mostefa Mesbah

Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences

In this paper, a new method for designing a fractional-order proportional-integral-derivative (FO-PID) controller with an application to an induction motor drive is proposed. In the proposed method, the motor drive is modeled using an autoregressive with exogenous input (ARX) model whose parameters are experimentally identified using real I/O data. A genetic algorithm is then used to find the FO-PID parameters. To guarantee the robustness of the controller against load variations, minimax optimization is adopted. To validate the results, the proposed controller is applied to a real-life motor drive using a hardware-in-the-loop (HIL) simulator. The experimental results show that the proposed …


A New Technique For Optimum Excitation Of Switched Reluctance Motor Drives Over A Wide Speed Range, Mahmoud Hamouda, László Számel Jan 2018

A New Technique For Optimum Excitation Of Switched Reluctance Motor Drives Over A Wide Speed Range, Mahmoud Hamouda, László Számel

Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences

Optimum performance of switched reluctance motors (SRMs) over a wide range of speed control is an essential approach for many industrial applications. However, the doubly salient structure and deep magnetic saturation make magnetization characteristics of SRMs a highly nonlinear function of rotor position and current magnitude. This, in turn, makes the control of SRM drives a challenging task. As the control of SRMs depends on the inductance profile, it requires an adaptive control technique for optimum operation over a wide range of operating speeds. This paper presents an adaptive control technique for optimum excitation of SRM drives. The proposed control …

Controlling The Speed And Flux Of A Dual Stator Winding Induction Motor Using An Emotional Intelligent Controller And Integration Algorithm, Hojat Moayedirad, Mohammad Ali Shamsi Nejad

Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences

The appropriate efficiency of a dual stator winding squirrel-cage induction motor (DSWIM) is obtained when the ratio of two frequencies feeding the machine is equal to the ratio of the number of poles. In the vector control method, the estimation of flux at low speed is difficult. To solve this problem, researchers have benefited from the free capacity of the two windings of the stator. This makes the motor deviate from its standard operating mode at low speed. The main purpose of the present study is to reduce the power losses of the inverter units in the sensorless DSWIM drive …


New Optimization Algorithm Inspired By Fluid Mechanics For Combined Economic And Emission Dispatch Problem, Ruyi Dong, Shengsheng Wang Jan 2018

New Optimization Algorithm Inspired By Fluid Mechanics For Combined Economic And Emission Dispatch Problem, Ruyi Dong, Shengsheng Wang

Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences

With the increasing concern over environmental protection, the combined economic emission dispatch (CEED) problem has received much attention. It needs to minimize both fuel cost and emission pollution. This study aims to propose a new metaheuristic algorithm inspired by fluid mechanics to solve the CEED problem with the weighted sum method. The new algorithm simulates the inverse process of fluid flowing spontaneously from high pressure to low pressure, similar to the optimization process of the CEED problem. When applied in two real-world cases, the new algorithm achieves better performance compared with other algorithms in the literature.


A Strategy For Improving Netclust Server Placement For Multicloud Environments, Yuting Zhao, Jinhong Liu, Qing Fang, Lifang Xu, Changlai Du, Yuan Xiaoqun Jan 2018

A Strategy For Improving Netclust Server Placement For Multicloud Environments, Yuting Zhao, Jinhong Liu, Qing Fang, Lifang Xu, Changlai Du, Yuan Xiaoqun

Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences

In this paper, we propose a fast server placement algorithm to improve the NetClust framework and make it more efficient and exible. To this end, we introduce hierarchical clustering technologies to the NetClust framework and propose a exible server placement algorithm, which integrates the agglomerative and divisive clustering technologies to reduce the time complexity and avoid the performance uctuation affected by the initial node selection. The experiment results show that our server placement algorithm may reduce the time complexity of server selection of NetClust significantly and improve the exibility and applicability of the NetClust.

Decoupled Indirect Duty Cycle Pwm Technique With Carrier Frequency Adjustmentfor A Matrix Converter, Murugesan Kullan, Senthilkumaran Mahadevan, Anitha Roseline Johnson, Ranganath Muthu

Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences

The conventional sinusoidal pulse width modulation (SPWM) and the space vector PWM (SVPWM) switching techniques are widely used for power converters due to their ability to control the harmonic content of the output voltage. The most popular PWM techniques used in matrix converters are direct space vector modulation (DSVM) and indirect space vector modulation (ISVM). Since these techniques are complex and difficult to implement, there is demand for a PWM technique with minimum computation to operate matrix converters continuously. In this paper, decoupled indirect duty cycle (DIDC) PWM technique is proposed for the conventional matrix converter (CMC). This technique eliminates …


Extra High Voltage Transmission Line Operation Simulation Using The Actualcorona-Loss Characteristics, Ashraf Balametov, Elman Halilov, Tarana Isayeva Jan 2018

Extra High Voltage Transmission Line Operation Simulation Using The Actualcorona-Loss Characteristics, Ashraf Balametov, Elman Halilov, Tarana Isayeva

Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences

In transmission line equations with distributed parameters, corona power losses are represented as conduc- tivity, i.e. corona losses considered as a function of the line voltage squared. On the other hand, valid corona power losses are 4-8 degree functions from voltage. Therefore, extra high voltage transmission line equations with the distributed parameters have methodical errors. Methodical errors of extra high voltage transmission line operation mode parame- ters modeling are estimated. The method of modeling extra high voltage transmission line operation mode taking into account actual corona-loss characteristics is offered. The cascade-connected scheme is used for increasing the accuracy of modeling …

Qrmw: Quantum Representation Of Multi Wavelength Images, Engi̇n Şahi̇n, İhsan Yilmaz

Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences

In this study, we propose quantum representation of multiwavelength images (QRMW) that gives preparation and retrieving procedures of quantum images. The proposed QRMW model represents multichannel and $2^{n}\times 2^{m}$ images. Moreover, we present image comparison and some image operations based on the QRMW model. Comparing our model with the models in the literature, the QRMW model has less time complexity. It also uses fewer qubits than existing models in the literature.

Performance Analysis Of Distributed Fiber Raman Amplifiers Employing Higher Order Pumping Schemes In Optical Transmission Systems, Kulwinder Singh Malhi, Manjeet Singh Patterh, Manjit Singh Bhamrah

Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences

Performance of fiber Raman amplifier is explored with special emphasis on higher order pumping configurations for wavelength division multiplexed optical transmission systems. The amplification analysis is done in terms of equivalent noise figure (ENF), optical signal-to-noise ratio (OSNR), and double Rayleigh backscattering (DRBS) noise powers. The investigations reveal that at 36 dB on--off gain, ENF improvement of 1 dB (using second order pumping) and of 2 dB (using third order pumping configuration) can be achieved. On similar lines, by varying input optical power and fiber length, OSNR and DRBS are reported for the higher order of pumping configurations. Overall, the …


Bvire Improved Algorithm For Indoor Localization Based On Rfid And A Linearregression Model, Noor Bahaaldin, Ergun Erçelebi̇ Jan 2018

Bvire Improved Algorithm For Indoor Localization Based On Rfid And A Linearregression Model, Noor Bahaaldin, Ergun Erçelebi̇

Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences

Traditional indoor location technologies such as infrared technology and ultrasonic technology are complex, expensive, or having unsatisfactory location accuracy. Radio frequency identification (RFID) technologies are very popular in many areas since their costs are very low. The tag in such technologies acts as the transmitter, and the radio signal strength indicator (RSSI) information is measured at the reader. However, RSSI information suffers strictly from the multipath circumstance and circumferential elements. Therefore, the localization accuracy of the boundary will be affected severely. In order to solve this problem, we introduce the boundary virtual reference label (BVIRE) algorithm to well utilize RFID …

Scheduling in a multiprocessor parallel computing environment is an NP-hard optimization problem. The main objective of this work is to obtain a schedule in a distributed computing system (DCS) environment that minimizes the makespan and maximizes the throughput. We study the use of two of the evolutionary swarm optimization techniques, the firefly algorithm and the artificial bee colony (ABC) algorithm, to optimize the scheduling in a DCS. We also enhance the traditional ABC algorithm by merging the genetic algorithm techniques of crossover and mutation with the employed bee phase and the onlooker phase, respectively. The resulting enhanced ABC algorithm is …


Energy-Efficient And Reliable Data Collection In Wireless Sensor Networks, Deepa Puneeth, Nishanth Joshi, Pradeep Kumar Atrey, Muralidhar Kulkarni Jan 2018

Energy-Efficient And Reliable Data Collection In Wireless Sensor Networks, Deepa Puneeth, Nishanth Joshi, Pradeep Kumar Atrey, Muralidhar Kulkarni

Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences

Ensuring energy efficiency, data reliability, and security is important in wireless sensor networks (WSNs). A combination of variants from the cryptographic secret sharing technique and the disjoint multipath routing scheme is an effective strategy to address these requirements. Although Shamir's secret sharing (SSS) provides the desired reliability and information-theoretic security, it is not energy efficient. Alternatively, Shamir's ramp secret sharing (SRSS) provides energy efficiency and data reliability, but is only computationally secure. We argue that both these approaches may suffer from a compromised node (CN) attack when a minimum number of nodes is compromised. Hence, we propose a new scheme …


Digital Image Copy-Move Forgery Detection Based On Discrete Fractional Wavelet Transform, Amanjot Kaur Lamba, Neeru Jindal, Sanjay Sharma Jan 2018

Digital Image Copy-Move Forgery Detection Based On Discrete Fractional Wavelet Transform, Amanjot Kaur Lamba, Neeru Jindal, Sanjay Sharma

Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences

With the advancement of sophisticated cameras and image editing software tools, digital image tampering techniques are frequently used without leaving visual cues behind. Digital image copy-move forgery is a kind of image manipulation that involves copying and pasting of a certain section (or sections) within the same digital image. Generally, this is done with false intentions of hiding important information or providing false information in an image. In view of this, the focus of the present paper is to propose a discrete fractional wavelet transform-based scheme for identification of duplicated regions in the image. The test image is split into …

With respect to emergency applications of IoT technology, an essential issue is to provide an efficient and robust scheme for data gathering. The proposed solution in the existing approaches is to construct a spanning tree over the IoT devices and collect data using the tree. The shortcoming of these algorithms is that they do not take into account the probability of device mobility or failure. In such cases, the spanning tree is split, …

In this study, we used machine learning and feature selection algorithms together. Our aim is to determine the best machine learning method and the best feature selection algorithm to predict heart attacks. For this purpose, many machine learning methods with optimum parameters and several feature …

Automatic Detection Of The Respiratory Cycle From Recorded, Single-Channel Sounds From Lungs, Seli̇m Aras, Mehmet Öztürk, Ali̇ Gangal

Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences

Listening to the sounds made by the lungs is a long-standing method that is still used to diagnose lung diseases. Many studies have been conducted on the automatic recognition of recorded sounds from the lungs. However, in these studies, respiratory cycles, i.e. inhalations followed by exhalations, were either monitored manually or by using multichannel signals of the sounds made by the lungs. In order to recognize sounds made by the lungs automatically, one must first use these sounds to determine the respiratory cycles. Our previous study was the first study presented in the literature in which the boundaries of respiratory …


Transformer Incipient Fault Diagnosis On The Basis Of Energy-Weighted Dga Usingan Artificial Neural Network, Md Danish Equbal, Shakeb Ahmad Khan, Tarikul Islam Jan 2018

Transformer Incipient Fault Diagnosis On The Basis Of Energy-Weighted Dga Usingan Artificial Neural Network, Md Danish Equbal, Shakeb Ahmad Khan, Tarikul Islam

Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences

In this paper, a transformer incipient fault diagnosis model has been developed with the help of an artificial neural network (ANN), taking into account the difference in the energy required to produce the different fault gases. The key fault gases are indicative of the fault type prevailing in the transformer. However, in conventional studies, the energy difference in fault gas formation is not considered while adopting the key gas method for fault diagnosis. In this work, a weighting factor has been used to take into account this relative difference in energy requirement for various fault gas formations. The fault gas …

An Efficient Algorithm To Decompose A Compound Rectilinear Shape Into Simplerectilinear Shapes, Imran Sharif, Debasis Chaudhuri, Naveen Kushwaha, Ashok Samal, Brij Mohan Singh

Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences

Detection of a compound object is a critical problem in target recognition. For example, buildings form an important class of shapes whose recognition is important in many remote sensing based applications. Due to the coarse resolution of imaging sensors, adjacent buildings in the scenes appear as a single compound shape object. These compound objects can be represented as the union of a set of disjoint rectilinear shaped objects. Separating the individual buildings from the resulting compound objects in a segmented image is often difficult but important nevertheless. In this paper we propose a new and efficient technique to decompose a …

Usage Of Segmentation For Noise Elimination In Reconstructed Images In Digitalholographic Interferometry, Gülhan Ustabaş Kaya, Zehra Saraç Jan 2018

Usage Of Segmentation For Noise Elimination In Reconstructed Images In Digitalholographic Interferometry, Gülhan Ustabaş Kaya, Zehra Saraç

Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences

In this paper, we propose to enhance the image in digital holography by using an artificial neural network and an iterative algorithm with Nakamura's approach based on segmentation. It is well known that reconstructed three- dimensional (3D) images suffer from noise in digital holography. In addition, obtaining 3D reconstructed images takes a long time due to large pixel numbers in reconstructed images and lack of memory in the system. The segmentation process is an application that overcomes these problems. Therefore, we focus on the implementation of segmentation for image enhancement. In addition, the results of the segmentation process for both …

Outputs Bounds For Linear Systems With Repeated Input Signals: Existence,Computation And Application To Vehicle Platooning, Harun Buğra Sağlam, Klaus Werner Schmi̇dt

Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences

This paper investigates the effect of repeated time-limited input signals on the output excursion of stable, linear time-invariant systems. It is first shown that the maximum norm of the output signal remains bounded if the repeated input signals are separated by a nonzero dwell time. Then a novel method for computing a tight bound on the output signal norm is proposed. The setting of the paper is motivated by a vehicle platooning application, where vehicles repeatedly open/close gaps in order to perform lane changes. The developed method analyzes driving safety by computing a bound on the spacing error between vehicles …


Model Reduction Of Discrete-Time Systems In Limited Intervals, Umair Zulfiqar, Muwahida Liaquat Jan 2018

Model Reduction Of Discrete-Time Systems In Limited Intervals, Umair Zulfiqar, Muwahida Liaquat

Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences

Model order reduction (MOR) is a process of obtaining a lower order surrogate model that accurately approximates the original high-order system. Since no actuator or plant operates over the entire time and frequency ranges, the reduced-order model should be accurate in the actual range of operation. In this paper, model reduction techniques for discrete time systems are presented that ensure less reduction error in the specified time and frequency intervals. The techniques are tested on the benchmark numerical examples and their efficacy is shown.

A significant problem with high-power LED luminaires is heat. Aluminum heat sinks have been extensively used as a solution. The most common method for heat sinks that increases surface area uses fins. In the present study, pin- and plate-fins were compared and it was observed that, in equal surface areas, better cooling was achieved by pin-fins. Thus, the study's concentration narrowed to pin-fins and the results of different pin-fins were compared. Simulations of a sample group were conducted by using different numbers of fins, and the number of fins giving the lowest Tmax value (the highest junction point temperature) was …

A New Semianalytical Method For Analysis Of The Disc-Type Permanent Magnethysteresis Motor In Steady-State Operational Conditions, Ali Behniafar, Ahmad Darabi

Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences

Considering the characteristics of hysteresis and permanent magnet motors, it seems that these two motors are complements of each other. Thus, their combination yields a motor with an excellent performance. In order to preserve the major advantages of both motors in the new motor, a disc-type slotless structure is chosen. This paper presents a new finite-element method for the modeling of disc-type permanent magnet hysteresis synchronous (PMHS) motor. In this modeling method a new iterative algorithm is used. Programming software has been linked to finite- element software because of its limitation in the modeling of hysteresis phenomena. Validity of the …

Demial: An Active Learning Framework For Multiple Instance Image Classificationusing Dictionary Ensembles, Gökhan Koçyi̇ği̇t, Yusuf Yaslan

Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences

In many machine-learning applications, each data point can be represented as a set of instances that create multiple instance learning (MIL) problems. Due to the structure of images, different regions can be interpreted as instances. Thus, multiple instances can be obtained for each image, which makes image categorization a MIL problem. With abundant unlabeled image data, this MIL problem can be solved using active learning algorithms. Active learning is a framework that utilizes unlabeled data in which labeling samples is a labor-intensive and expensive task. Although many effective MIL active learning methods have been developed, most of the existing algorithms …

In this paper, we propose a surface plasmon resonance nanosensor, in which the main metal sensor is taken to be gold with a thin nanolayer of palladium membrane. The reason we chose palladium is its exceptional property of having high permittivity to hydrogen penetration. In this paper, formation of palladium hydride (PdH$_{x}$, where x = H / Pd) is achieved and simulation is provided using Materials Studio software. Based on an intermediate assumption, a semiconductor gold composite layer is used …


An Adaptive Fault Diagnosis Approach Using Pipeline Implementation For Railway Inspection, Yunus Santur, Mehmet Karaköse, Erhan Akin Jan 2018

An Adaptive Fault Diagnosis Approach Using Pipeline Implementation For Railway Inspection, Yunus Santur, Mehmet Karaköse, Erhan Akin

Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences

Railway tracks must be periodically inspected. This study proposes a new approach for eliminating two major disadvantages experienced during rail inspection applications performed via computer vision. The first is the blurring effect on images, resulting from physical vibration during movement on the rail lines. This effect significantly reduces the high accuracy rate expected from anomaly inspection algorithms. The second disadvantage is the need to operate in real time. This study presents a new three-stage computer vision method approach that eliminates both disadvantages. First, a three-stage pipeline architecture is implemented and IMU-assisted blur detection is performed on images taken from the …
