Instantaneous Protection Scheme For Backup Protection Of High-Voltage Transmission Lines, Syed Norazizul Syed Nasir, Abdullah Asuhaimi

Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences

The protection scheme focused on in this study is a typical protection system used in high-voltage systems such as 132 kV, 275 kV, and 500 kV. The research will analyze the existing protection scheme for transmission lines that the power utility has implemented and will propose a new protection scheme to improve the performance of the existing scheme. The existing protection scheme currently implemented by the power utility for backup protection operation has a longer fault-clearing time and no restoration time, and it does not utilize support relays.

Relaxation Rate And Polarization Charge Density Model For Aln/Al$_{X}$Ga$_{1 - X}$N/Aln Heterostructures, Nagarajan Sivarajan, Reeba Korah, Mariya Kalavathy Ganamani

Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences

This work describes the strain-relaxation--dependent carrier concentration ($n_{s})$ profile model using spontaneous and piezoelectric polarization for AlN/Al$_{x}$Ga$_{1 - x}$N/AlN HEMTs in all mole fraction ($x)$ interpolations. As $x$ varies, the Aluminum Gallium Nitride (AlGaN) channel shows strain relaxation with the Aluminum Nitride (AlN) barrier. The degree of relaxation is modeled from AlN to GaN regions in the channel. It shows that the AlN barrier and buffer relaxation and strain recovery occurs due to the gradual crystal quality degradation from barrier/buffer to the channel interface. These combination devices show less drain current degradation with temperature variation from 300 K to 573 …

Modeling And Simulation Of 2.5 Mva Sf6-Gas-Insulated Transformer, Okan Özgönenel, David Thomas

Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences

In recent years, environmental awareness has been a great concern, and even governments have sometimes been under pressure to comply with bilateral agreements. Mineral oil/epoxy cast resins are one of the most harmful soil pollutants. Of course, they provide a good insulation material in (distribution/power) transformers, but they present some disadvantages, such as low ignition point, additional insulation costs, requirement for an extinguishing apparatus, long clearance distance, toxicity, costly decontamination, and explosion risk. For this reason, gas-insulated transformers have nowadays been put into specifications. % This paper investigates SF6-gas-insulated transformer (GIT) designs for the complex distribution transformer model, i.e. 2.5 …

A Novel Optical Flow-Based Representation For Temporal Video Segmentation, Samet Akpinar, Ferdanur Alpaslan Jan 2017

A Novel Optical Flow-Based Representation For Temporal Video Segmentation, Samet Akpinar, Ferdanur Alpaslan

Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences

Temporal video segmentation is a field of multimedia research enabling us to temporally split video data into semantically coherent scenes. In order to develop methods challenging temporal video segmentation, detecting scene boundaries is one of the more widely used approaches. As a result, representation of temporal information becomes important. We propose a new temporal video segment representation to formalize video scenes as a sequence of temporal motion change information. The idea here is that some sort of change in the optical flow character determines motion change and cuts between consecutive scenes. The problem is eventually reduced to an optical flow-based …

Breast-Region Segmentation In Mri Using Chest Region Atlas And Svm, Aida Fooladivanda, Shahriar Baradaran Shokouhi, Nasrin Ahmadinejad

Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences

An important step for computerized analysis of breast magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is segmentation of the breast region. Due to the similar signal intensity of fibroglandular tissue and the chest wall, the segmentation process is difficult for breasts with fibroglandular tissue connected to the chest wall. In order to overcome this challenge, a new framework is presented that relies on a chest region atlas. The proposed method first detects the approximated breast-chest wall boundary using an intensity-based operation. A support vector machine (SVM) then determines the connectivity of fibroglandular tissue to the chest wall by the extracted features from the …

Lifetime Maximization Of Wireless Sensor Networks With Sink Costs, Muhammed Emre Keski̇n

Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences

Balanced distribution of the energy load of the sensors is important for the elongation of wireless sensor network (WSN) lifetimes. There are four main WSN design issues affecting the energy distribution among the sensors: sensor locations, sensor activity schedules, mobile sink routes, and data flow routes. Many studies try to make energy usage more efficient through optimal determination of these design issues. However, only very few studies handle these four design issues in a combined manner. Additionally, the cost of the sinks is neglected in all studies. In this study, a mixed integer linear program is first proposed, in which …

A Novel Empirical Sir-To-Cqi Mapping Rule For Dc-Hsdpa Systems, Çeti̇n Kurnaz, Begüm Korunur Engi̇z, Murat Oğuz Esenalp

Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences

This study aims to determine the mapping rule for signal-to-interference ratio (SIR) to channel quality indicator (CQI) based on DC-HSDPA real field measurements. The measurements were performed using the TEMS Investigation Tool at 85 different propagation mediums. The measurement results showed that the SIR-to-CQI mapping methods in the literature were insufficient to characterize actual radio environments; thus, proposal of a new empirical SIR-to-CQI mapping rule was aimed. This rule provides substantially better performance than the existing methods, and with this rule CQI can be generated from SIR with an accuracy of around 90% for DC-HSDPA systems.
