Load Balancing With Energy Storage Systems Based On Co-Simulation Of Multiple Smart Buildings And Distribution Networks, Shaun Duerr, Cristinel Ababei, Dan M. Ionel
Electrical and Computer Engineering Faculty Research and Publications
In this paper, we present a co-simulation framework that combines two main simulation tools, one that provides detailed multiple building energy simulation ability with Energy-Plus being the core engine, and the other one that is a distribution level simulator, Matpower. Such a framework can be used to develop and study district level optimization techniques that exploit the interaction between a smart electric grid and buildings as well as the interaction between buildings themselves to achieve energy and cost savings and better energy management beyond what one can achieve through techniques applied at the building level only. We propose a heuristic …

Like most cities in the world, population in Indonesia continues to grow every year. Problems that can arise from this are the increasing amount of municipal solid waste (MSW) production and the growing demand for electricity. To deal with the problems, Indonesian government runs 3R (Reduce, Reuse and Recycle) and WTE (Waste to Energy) Programs simultaneously. 3R program aims to reduce the number of waste, while WTE program aims to generate electricity as an alternative energy source. This study aims to find out the optimal proportion of MSW treated through the 3R and WTE programs. For the purpose, a goal …
Multi-Population-Based Differential Evolution Algorithm For Optimization Problems, Ishani Chatterjee
Multi-Population-Based Differential Evolution Algorithm For Optimization Problems, Ishani Chatterjee
Theses
A differential evolution (DE) algorithm is an evolutionary algorithm for optimization problems over a continuous domain. To solve high dimensional global optimization problems, this work investigates the performance of differential evolution algorithms under a multi-population strategy. The original DE algorithm generates an initial set of suitable solutions. The multi-population strategy divides the set into several subsets. These subsets evolve independently and connect with each other according to the DE algorithm. This helps in preserving the diversity of the initial set. Furthermore, a comparison of combination of different mutation techniques on several optimization algorithms is studied to verify their performance. Finally, …

Networking systems consist of network infrastructures and the end-hosts have been essential in supporting our daily communication, delivering huge amount of content and large number of services, and providing large scale distributed computing. To monitor and optimize the performance of such networking systems, or to provide flexible functionalities for the applications running on top of them, it is important to know the internal metrics of the networking systems such as link loss rates or path delays. The internal metrics are often not directly available due to the scale and complexity of the networking systems. This motivates the techniques of inference …

Corgi: Compute Oriented Recumbent Generation Infrastructure, Christopher Allen Hunt
Master's Theses
Creating a bicycle with a rideable geometry is more complicated than it may appear, with today’s mainstay designs having evolved through years of iteration. This slow evolution coupled with the bicycle’s intricate mechanical system has lead most builders to base their new geometries off of previous work rather than expand into new design spaces. This crutch can lead to slow bicycle iteration rates, often causing bicycles to all look about the same. To combat this, several bicycle design models have been created over the years, with each attempting to define a bicycle’s handling characteristics given its physical geometry. However, these …

Gica: Imperialist Competitive Algorithm With Globalization Mechanism For Optimization Problems, Yousef Abdi, Mahmoud Lak, Yousef Seyfari
Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences
The imperialist competitive algorithm (ICA) is a recent global search strategy developed based on human social evolutionary phenomena in the real world. However, the ICA has the drawback of trapping in local optimum solutions when used for high-dimensional or complex multimodal functions. In order to deal with this situation, in this paper an improved ICA, named GICA, is proposed that can enhance ICA performance by using a new assimilation method and establishing a relationship between countries inspired by the globalization concept in the real world. The proposed algorithm is evaluated using a set of well-known benchmark functions for global optimization. …
A Novel Wound Field Flux Switching Machine With Salient Pole Rotor And Nonoverlapping Windings, Faisal Khan, Erwan Sulaiman, Md Zarafi Ahmad
A Novel Wound Field Flux Switching Machine With Salient Pole Rotor And Nonoverlapping Windings, Faisal Khan, Erwan Sulaiman, Md Zarafi Ahmad
Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences
A flux switching machine (FSM) with a segmented rotor and nonoverlapping windings is an attractive alternative for driving high torque density applications. However, a rotor with segments makes the motor less robust as well as difficult to be assembled, while a FSM with salient rotor and overlapping windings inherits high copper losses and less efficiency due to high coil volume. In this paper, a novel structure of FSM with nonoverlapping windings and salient rotor is proposed, making it different from the 10Slot-8Pole segmental and salient rotor FSM. Several design parameters defined in the rotor, armature coil, and field excitation coil …

Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences
Reactive power optimization (RPO) in a power system is a rudimentary necessity for the reduction of the loss of power. For the requirement of a unity power factor in the RPO system, the reduction of the system losses is ensured. The pivotal requirements of a power system are inclusive of a perfect compensation technique and methodology for stable reactive power compensation. The proposed concept in this paper utilizes the different reactive power optimization algorithms and performs a comparison. The process is accomplished by the use of IEEE 6-bus, 14-bus, and 30-bus systems to test the optimization technique. The conclusive information …
Comparing Of Phase Shifting Method And One-Dimensional Continuous Wavelet Transform Method For Reconstruction Using Phase-Only Information, Gülhan Ustabaş Kaya, Zehra Saraç
Comparing Of Phase Shifting Method And One-Dimensional Continuous Wavelet Transform Method For Reconstruction Using Phase-Only Information, Gülhan Ustabaş Kaya, Zehra Saraç
Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences
The one-dimensional continuous wavelet transform method has some advantages in hologram reconstruction, when used in the only phase, compared with the phase shifting method. This paper aims to discuss these advantages. One advantage is related to image quality. Another advantage is less power spent and saving time, because the one-dimensional continuous wavelet transform method uses only one hologram and the phase shifting method uses four holograms for recording and reconstruction processes. One final advantage is that the one-dimensional continuous wavelet transform method can also be used in real-time applications. Within the context of the ongoing optimization studies, this study will …

A Modified Genetic Algorithm For A Special Case Of The Generalized Assignment Problem, Murat Dörterler, Ömer Faruk Bay, Mehmet Ali̇ Akcayol
Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences
Many central examinations are performed nationwide in Turkey. These examinations are held simultaneously throughout Turkey. Examinees attempt to arrive at the examination centers at the same time and they encounter problems such as traffic congestion, especially in metropolises. The state of mind that this situation puts them into negatively affects the achievement and future goals of the test takers. Our solution to minimize the negative effects of this issue is to assign the test takers to closest examination centers taking into account the capacities of examination halls nearby. This solution is a special case of the generalized assignment problem (GAP). …
Heuristic Algorithm-Based Estimation Of Rotor Resistance Of An Induction Machine By Slot Parameters With Experimental Verification, Mehmet Çelebi̇, Murat Tören
Heuristic Algorithm-Based Estimation Of Rotor Resistance Of An Induction Machine By Slot Parameters With Experimental Verification, Mehmet Çelebi̇, Murat Tören
Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences
The estimations of induction machine equivalent circuit parameters are still being widely used in the analysis and in determining the characteristics of the machine. Since the most important part of the machine is the rotor where torque is produced, the calculation of rotor resistance correctly will directly affect all other data. Almost all parameters belonging to the stator side can easily be determined through external measurements. However, due to the formulation of the rotor as a closed box, estimating rotor resistance and the rotor's slot shape by heuristic algorithms, without damaging the rotor physically, and comparing it with its actual …
