Case Study On Wavelet Choice Based On Statistical Image Quality Measures, Igor Vujovic, Ivica Kuzmanic
Case Study On Wavelet Choice Based On Statistical Image Quality Measures, Igor Vujovic, Ivica Kuzmanic
Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences
Surveillance applications are under many negative influences, which should be suppressed, because these negative influences result in incorrectness of the motion mask. Suppression of several conflicting requirements can be optimized by a multiobjective approach. This paper proposes a multiobjective approach to selection of wavelets based on two main objectives: statistical image quality measures and execution time. Execution time is a measure of wavelets complexity. Segmentation is the final goal in order to insure precise operation of any surveillance algorithm. This paper presents a case study considering one, two, three, and four goals for wavelet selection comparison. Different wavelets are found …
Robust Local Parameter Estimator Based On Least Absolute Value Estimator, Volkan Özdemi̇r, Murat Göl
Robust Local Parameter Estimator Based On Least Absolute Value Estimator, Volkan Özdemi̇r, Murat Göl
Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences
Changes in weather conditions such as temperature and humidity, miscommunication between the control center and circuit breaker transducers and tap changers, and inaccurate manufacturing data may cause parameter errors. Because of incorrect parameters, the state estimator may provide biased state estimates, which may lead to many serious economic and operational results. In order to prevent that, one must identify and correct those parameter errors. This work proposes a local parameter estimator based on the least absolute value (LAV) estimator, which is known to be robust against bad measurements, i.e. measurements with gross error. Considering the increasing number of phasor measurement …

Sphere Decoding Algorithm For Multiuser Detection In A Distributed Antenna System, Fahad Khawaja, Alam Zaib, Shahid Khattak
Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences
In this paper, the impact of initial search radius on the complexity and performance of a sphere decoding algorithm is investigated for different user positions within a distributed antenna system. In a distributed antenna system, users can take up random positions within the cell clusters. The channel matrix can therefore take up infinitely different forms. In the presented work, a distributed antenna system with three different user positions in the cooperating cells is considered by employing different channel matrices. The effect on the complexity and performance of the sphere decoder due to the choice of the initial sphere radius is …

Method Of Singular Integral Equations In Diffraction By Semi-Infinite Grating: $H$-Polarization Case, Mstislav Kaliberda, Leonid Lytvynenko, Sergey Pogarsky
Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences
Diffraction of the $H$-polarized electromagnetic wave by a semi-infinite strip grating is considered. The scattered field is represented as a superposition of the field induced by the currents on the strips of an infinite periodic grating and the field induced by the correction current excited due to end of the grating. Singular integral equations with additional conditions for infinite and semi-infinite periodic gratings are obtained. The current on the strips and spectral function of scattered field are expressed in terms of the solution of these equations. Numerical results for the near and far fields distribution are represented.

A Neuro-Fuzzy Controller For Grid-Connected Heavy-Duty Gas Turbine Power Plants, Mohamed Iqbal Mohamed Mustafa, Joseph Xavier Rayappan, Kanakaraj Jagannathan
Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences
Frequent load fluctuation and set-point variation may affect the stability of grid-connected heavy-duty gas turbine power plants. To overcome such problems, a novel neuro-fuzzy controller is proposed in this paper for single-shaft heavy-duty gas turbines ranging from 18.2 MW to 106.7 MW. A neuro-fuzzy controller was developed using a hybrid learning algorithm and the effectiveness of the controller for all heavy-duty gas turbine plants (5, 6, 7, and 9 series) is demonstrated against load disturbance and set-point variation in a grid-connected environment. Various time domain specifications and performance index criteria of the neuro-fuzzy controller are compared with that of a …
Mutual Correlation Of Nist Statistical Randomness Tests And Comparison Of Their Sensitivities On Transformed Sequences, Ali̇ Doğanaksoy, Fati̇h Sulak, Muhi̇ddi̇n Uğuz, Okan Şeker, Zi̇ya Akcengi̇z
Mutual Correlation Of Nist Statistical Randomness Tests And Comparison Of Their Sensitivities On Transformed Sequences, Ali̇ Doğanaksoy, Fati̇h Sulak, Muhi̇ddi̇n Uğuz, Okan Şeker, Zi̇ya Akcengi̇z
Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences
Random sequences are widely used in many cryptographic applications and hence their generation is one of the main research areas in cryptography. Statistical randomness tests are introduced to detect the weaknesses or nonrandom characteristics that a sequence under consideration may have. In the literature, there exist various statistical randomness tests and test suites, defined as a collection of tests. An efficient test suite should consist of a number of uncorrelated statistical tests each of which measures randomness from another point of view. `Being uncorrelated' is not a well-defined or well-understood concept in the literature. In this work, we apply Pearson's …
High-Pass/Low-Pass Section Design For 0$^{\Circ}$-360$^{\Circ}$ Lumped-Element Phase Shifters Via The Real Frequency Technique, Meti̇n Şengül
High-Pass/Low-Pass Section Design For 0$^{\Circ}$-360$^{\Circ}$ Lumped-Element Phase Shifters Via The Real Frequency Technique, Meti̇n Şengül
Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences
In this paper, an algorithm based on the real frequency technique (RFT) is proposed to design high-pass and low-pass sections of a 0$^{\circ}$-360$^{\circ}$ wide range lumped-element phase shifter. The switching process, however, is not considered in this work. In the algorithm, it is enough to define the section type (high-pass or low-pass) and the number of elements in the sections; there is no need to select the exact circuit topologies for the high-pass and low-pass sections. This is a natural consequence of the proposed approach. Unlike in the methods described in the literature, there is also no need to derive …
Impact Of Distributed Generator Controllers On The Coordination Of Overcurrent Relays In Microgrid, Niraj Kumar Choudhary, Soumya Ranjan Mohanty, Ravindra Kumar Singh
Impact Of Distributed Generator Controllers On The Coordination Of Overcurrent Relays In Microgrid, Niraj Kumar Choudhary, Soumya Ranjan Mohanty, Ravindra Kumar Singh
Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences
In the presence of distributed generators (DGs) the fault current sensed by relay in the forward direction is larger than that in the reverse direction. Thus, it is required to have different relay settings for both forward and reverse directions. This paper investigates the impact of DG controller operating modes on the coordination of conventional and dual setting overcurrent relays (OCRs). The different DG control modes are voltage control mode (VCM) and current control mode (CCM). A comparative study of protection coordination is presented in both the operating modes of the DG. This scheme is tested on a 3-bus meshed …

Electronically Tunable Mos-Only Current-Mode High-Order Band-Pass Filters, Pipat Prommee, Aphinat Tiamsuphat, Muhammad Taher Abuelmaatti
Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences
This paper presents new CMOS current-mode ladder Chebyshev and elliptic band-pass filters (BPFs). The signal flow graph and the network transformation methods are used to synthesize the proposed BPFs by using Chebyshev and elliptic RLC low-pass prototypes. CMOS-based lossy and lossless integrators with grounded capacitors are used to synthesize the proposed BPFs. The proposed filters can be electronically tuned between 10 kHz and 100 MHz by adjusting the bias current from 0.02 $\mu $A to 200 $\mu $A. Both filters use a 1.5 V DC power supply, which leads to low dynamic power consumption. Both filters enjoy total harmonic distortion …

Reversible logic has emerged as a promising paradigm in various domains, such as low power VLSI design, quantum cellular automata, and nanotechnology-based systems. The arithmetic logic unit (ALU) is one of the main components of any central processing unit. In this paper we propose two new reversible ALUs using elementary quantum gates, with more functions compared to the existing designs. The results show that the proposed designs are better than the existing counterparts in terms of cost-metrics and the number of functions generated. The proposed reversible ALUs can be used in the implementation of quantum computers. All the designs are …

Advanced Probabilistic Power Flow Methodology For Power Systems With Renewable Resources, Dinh Duong Le, Nhi Thi Ai Nguyen, Van Duong Ngo, Alberto Berizzi
Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences
Renewable~resources have added additional uncertainty to power grids. Deterministic power flow does not provide sufficient information for power system calculation and analysis, since all sources of uncertainty are not taken into account. To handle uncertainties PPF has been introduced and used as an efficient tool. In this paper, we present a cumulant-based PPF approach that can account for various sources of uncertainty in power systems with renewable resources such as wind and photovoltaic energy. We also propose the use of a new methodology to estimate probability distribution for wind power output based on measured data. The proposed approach is carried …

Different algorithms have been suggested by researchers, where the evolutionary algorithms are the best in data clustering and especially in big datasets. It is illustrated that GSA-KM, which is a combination of the gravitational search algorithm (GSA) and K-means (KM), is superior over some other comparative evolutionary methods. One of the drawbacks of this approach is dependency on the initial seeds. In this paper, a …

In this paper a new method is proposed to simultaneously determine the optimal number, location, and capacity of DG units and D-STATCOM devices and optimal boundaries of electrical islands in the independent mode of microgrids. The main objective is to minimize the economic costs. The optimal locations of DG units and D-STATCOM devices should be determined to maximize the DG capacities with minimum loss …
Threshold Distance-Based Cluster Routing Protocols For Static And Mobile Wireless Sensor Networks, Padmavati Khandnor, Trilok Aseri
Threshold Distance-Based Cluster Routing Protocols For Static And Mobile Wireless Sensor Networks, Padmavati Khandnor, Trilok Aseri
Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences
In cluster-based wireless sensor network routing protocols, when the cluster head transfers data based on single hop transmission to the sink node, then the cluster heads that are farther away deplete more energy as compared to nearby cluster heads. This condenses load balancing in the network. If the cluster heads collaborate with each other and transfer data based on multihop transmission, then the cluster heads nearer to the sink node are burdened with significant relay traffic and deplete energy much faster, which causes a network coverage problem also known as a hot spot problem. To avoid both of the above …

Ionolab-Ray: A Wave Propagation Algorithm For Anisotropic And Inhomogeneous Ionosphere, Esra Erdem, Feza Arikan
Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences
A high-frequency (HF) radio wave propagation model based on ray tracing for anisotropic, inhomogeneous, and time-varying ionosphere is developed to form the basis for a user-friendly modular algorithm. The algorithm IONOLAB-RAY applies the principles of ray tracing through the spherical 3D grid model of the ionosphere. The physical parameters of the ionosphere in each voxel are obtained from the ionosphere model IRI-Plas-G. The refractive index of each voxel is calculated with the Appleton-Hartree formula, which includes electron cyclotron frequency, collision frequency, and anisotropicity due to the geomagnetic field. The developed propagation algorithm allows the input of total electron content (TEC) …
Image Compression Algorithm With Reduced Blocking Artifacts, Kritika Mittal, Kulbir Singh, Neeru Jindal
Image Compression Algorithm With Reduced Blocking Artifacts, Kritika Mittal, Kulbir Singh, Neeru Jindal
Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences
The modern communication era has led to a proliferation of digital media contents. However, the large volume of data poses difficulties because of increased bandwidth and limited storage space. Hence, this has led to the need for compression techniques. Image compression with block processing allows the coder to adapt to local image statistics and exploit the correlation present among neighboring image pixels. The main degradation factor of block transform coding is blocking artifacts (visually undesirable patterns) at high compression ratios. The degradation occurs because of coarse quantization of the transform coefficients and the independent processing of the blocks. In this …

Edge Distance Graph Kernel And Its Application To Small Molecule Classification, Mehmet Tan
Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences
Graph classification is an important problem in graph mining with various applications in different fields. Kernel methods have been successfully applied to this problem, recently producing promising results. A graph kernel that mostly specifies classification performance has to be defined in order to apply kernel methods to a graph classification problem. Although there are various previously proposed graph kernels, the problem is still worth investigating, as the available kernels are far from perfect. In this paper, we propose a new graph kernel based on a recently proposed concept called edge distance-k graphs. These new graphs are derived from the original …

Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences
In this study, the design, fabrication, and characterization results of square and circular cross-sectioned, bimaterial microelectromechanical system (MEMS) membranes are presented. The MEMS structures, having width of 250 $\mu $m to 1.5 mm and 1-4 mm$^{2}$ die area, were designed towards integration on a single-mode fiber tip for temperature-sensing. Embedded diffraction grating underneath each membrane allows for interferometric detection of thermomechanical response through backside laser illumination. The displacement of MEMS membranes was monitored under direct heating, revealing 50--1800 nm/$^{\circ}$C thermomechanical sensitivity range. Furthermore, atomic force microscopy-based stiffness measurement on the MEMS membranes revealed a spring constant within 2--30 N/m range. …
A Marching Algorithm For Isosurface Extraction From Face-Centered Cubic Lattices, Yusuf Sahi̇lli̇oğlu
A Marching Algorithm For Isosurface Extraction From Face-Centered Cubic Lattices, Yusuf Sahi̇lli̇oğlu
Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences
This work provides a novel method that extracts isosurfaces from face-centered cubic (FCC) lattices. It has been theoretically shown that sampling volumetric data on an FCC lattice tiled with rhombic dodecahedra is more efficient than sampling them on a Cartesian lattice tiled with cubes, in that the FCC lattice can represent the same data set as a Cartesian lattice with the same accuracy, yet with approximately 23% fewer samples. This fact, coupled with the good properties of rhombic dodecahedra, encouraged us to develop this related isosurface extraction technique. Thanks to the sparser sampling required by the FCC lattices, the de …

A hybrid battery model that has a maximum error less than 3% is used. The relative capacity of the battery is estimated by using performance decrement with age. The method is validated by two different set of experiments. The first set is conducted with batteries that were aged by a controlled process and the second …
A New Approach For Minimizing Torque Ripple In A Bldc Motor Drive With A Front End Ido Dc-Dc Converter, Ramya Amirthalingam, Balaji Mahadevan
A New Approach For Minimizing Torque Ripple In A Bldc Motor Drive With A Front End Ido Dc-Dc Converter, Ramya Amirthalingam, Balaji Mahadevan
Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences
This paper proposes a front end integrated dual output (IDO) dc-dc converter for commutation torque ripple reduction in a permanent magnet brushless DC (BLDC) motor drive. The current ripple owed to the inductance and resistance of the motor during commutation instant results in torque ripple. In this work the dc link voltage of the converter is varied at commutation instants to minimize current ripple and hence torque ripple. The wider output range and faster response of the IDO converter make it a suitable choice as a front end converter for minimizing torque ripple. Simulation results validate the proposed converter for …

Embedded systems have geared up their applications in the field of smart phones, mobile devices, automobiles, and medical instrumentation. Along with the growth of technology, the functional requirements of the systems have also grown multifold. To accommodate these ever increasing functional requirements, the hardware should be designed to include the maximum capability, which in turn increases power consumption. Thus this has to be dynamically managed using software techniques. The dynamic voltage and frequency scaling (DVFS) feature provided in most of the recent processors has enabled power optimization through software. With this feature the processor operating frequency can be reduced on …
Tsgv: A Table-Like Structure-Based Greedy Method For Materialized View Selection In Data Warehouses, Mohammad Karim Sohrabi, Hossein Azgomi
Tsgv: A Table-Like Structure-Based Greedy Method For Materialized View Selection In Data Warehouses, Mohammad Karim Sohrabi, Hossein Azgomi
Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences
Since a data warehouse deals with huge amounts of data and complex analytical queries, online processing and answering to users' queries in data warehouses can be a serious challenge. Materialized views are used to speed up query processing rather than direct access to the database in on-line analytical processing. Since the large number and high volume of views prevents all of the views from being stored, selection of a proper subset of views to materialization is inevitable. Proposing an appropriate method for selecting the optimal subset of views for materialization plays an essential role in increasing the efficiency of responding …
Improved Resettable Integrator Control For A Bridgeless Interleaved Ac/Dc Converter, Kanimozhi Gunasekaran, Sreedevi Vellithirothi Thazhathu
Improved Resettable Integrator Control For A Bridgeless Interleaved Ac/Dc Converter, Kanimozhi Gunasekaran, Sreedevi Vellithirothi Thazhathu
Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences
Plug-in hybrid electric vehicles (PHEVs) consist of a front-end boost rectifier, which incorporates a power factor correction (PFC) circuit for battery charging. Bridgeless interleaved (BLIL) PFC boost converter topology is proved as a standard PFC converter as it has high efficiency, reduced input current ripple, and reduced electromagnetic interference (EMI). This paper proposes a digital nonlinear control technique that employs a resettable integrator to shape the input current of the converter in phase with the input voltage to achieve high input power factor. This control approach rejects power source and load perturbations better than linear feedback control methods. This is …

Feedback Delay Compensation Of A Visual Servoing System Using A Piecewise Continuous And Current Estimator-Based Observer, Abdeldafia Mohammed, Haoping Wang, Yang Tian
Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences
In this paper, a piecewise continuous current estimator-based observer is proposed to estimate a plant's states using sampled and delayed measurements. The advantage of the proposed technique is simple in terms of analysis and design. Moreover, the proposed observer can compensate the time delay when the delay equals the sampling period. Comprehensive stability analysis of the designed observer is performed. In addition, to assess the efficiency and effectiveness of the proposed observer, a numerical comparative study with a Kalman filter-based observer is established and the simulation results are demonstrated.
Concurrent Optimal Design Of Tcsc And Pss Using Symbiotic Organisms Search Algorithm, Muwaffaq Alomoush
Concurrent Optimal Design Of Tcsc And Pss Using Symbiotic Organisms Search Algorithm, Muwaffaq Alomoush
Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences
The symbiotic organisms search (SOS), which has been recently introduced, is a robust powerful metaheuristic global optimizer. This nature-inspired algorithm imitates the symbiotic interaction strategies in an ecosystem exercised by organisms involved in interrelationships to survive and reproduce. One of the main beneficial features of the SOS in contrast to many other competent metaheuristic algorithms is that the algorithm does not need any specific algorithm parameters or tuning process. This paper applies the SOS algorithm to simultaneously design optimal controllers of a power system equipped with both a power system stabilizer (PSS) and a thyristor-controlled series compensator (TCSC). The algorithm …
