Classification Of Short-Circuit Faults In High-Voltage Energy Transmission Line Using Energy Of Instantaneous Active Power Components-Based Common Vector Approach, Mehmet Yumurtaci, Gökhan Gökmen, Çağri Kocaman, Semi̇h Ergi̇n, Osman Kiliç

Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences

The majority of power system faults occur in transmission lines. The classification of these faults in power systems is an important issue. In this paper, the real parameters of a 28 km, 154 kV transmission line between Simav and Demirci in Turkey's electricity transmission network is simulated in MATLAB/Simulink. Wavelet packet transform (WPT) is applied to instantaneous voltage signals. Instantaneous active power components are obtained by multiplying instantaneous currents obtained from a voltage source side with these WPT-based voltage signal components. A new feature vector extraction scheme is employed by calculating the energies of instantaneous active power components. Constructed feature …


Some Properties Of Digital H-Spaces, Özgür Ege, İsmet Karaca Jan 2016

Some Properties Of Digital H-Spaces, Özgür Ege, İsmet Karaca

Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences

In this paper, we study certain properties of digital H-spaces. We prove that a digital image that has the same digital homotopy type with any digital H-space is also a digital H-space. We show that the digital fundamental group of a digital H-space is abelian. We give examples that are related to a digital homotopy associative H-space and a $\kappa $-contractible digital H-space. Several important applications of digital H-spaces are given in computer vision and image processing. Finally, we deal with the importance of digital H-space in digital topology and image processing. We conclude that any $\kappa $-contractible digital image …


Identifying Acquisition Devices From Recorded Speech Signals Using Wavelet-Based Features, Ömer Eski̇dere Jan 2016

Identifying Acquisition Devices From Recorded Speech Signals Using Wavelet-Based Features, Ömer Eski̇dere

Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences

Speech characteristics have played a critical role in media forensics, particularly in the investigation of evidence. This study proposes two wavelet-based feature extraction methods for the identification of acquisition devices from recorded speech. These methods are discrete wavelet-based coefficients (DWBCs) and wavelet packet-based coefficients, which are mainly based on a multiresolution analysis. These features' ability to capture characteristics of acquisition devices is compared to conventional mel frequency cepstral coefficients and subband-based coefficients. In the experiments, 14 different audio acquisition devices were trained and tested using support vector machines. Experimental results showed that DWBCs can effectively be used in source audio …


A Slotted Aloha-Based Cognitive Radio Network Under Capture Effect In Rayleigh Fading Channels, Muhammed Enes Bayrakdar, Sedat Atmaca, Alper Karahan Jan 2016

A Slotted Aloha-Based Cognitive Radio Network Under Capture Effect In Rayleigh Fading Channels, Muhammed Enes Bayrakdar, Sedat Atmaca, Alper Karahan

Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences

In this paper, a slotted ALOHA-based cognitive radio (CR) network is proposed and the throughput performance of the proposed CR network model under Rayleigh fading channels is examined. Our CR network contains two special groups of users, primary users (PUs) and CR users (CRUs), and they are considered to be sharing a time-slotted-based common communication channel. While PUs can access the channel at any time owing to their legal right, CRUs can only access the channel when it is not occupied by the PUs. In the network model developed, PUs access the channel utilizing time division multiple access as a …


Performance Evaluation Of A New Efficient H.264 Intraprediction Scheme, Sara Hamdy, Mostafa Ibrahim, Mohamed Osman Jan 2016

Performance Evaluation Of A New Efficient H.264 Intraprediction Scheme, Sara Hamdy, Mostafa Ibrahim, Mohamed Osman

Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences

The paper presents a new efficient H.264/AVC$ 4 \times 4$ intraprediction scheme. The new prediction scheme is based on the best prediction matrix mode. The main idea behind the new prediction scheme is to combine the most usable intraprediction modes, {vertical - horizontal - DC} , into a new efficient prediction mode. The new prediction scheme is implemented using VHDL and hence it uses the full advantages of inherent parallelism in the hardware. We evaluate the performance of this prediction scheme in terms of compression ratio, peak signal to noise ratio, and bit rate using seven video sequences. Moreover, we …

It is a modular type inverter model and the number of voltage levels can be increased by adding new stages without changing the previous connection. Space vector modulation has been applied as the control strategy. A prototype of the proposed inverter topology has been built in the laboratory. The attached hardware results …

the accuracy of an inertial navigation system alone. However, its implementation complexity has been a challenge to most embedded systems. This paper proposes a low-cost FPGA-based INS-GPS integration system, which consists of a Kalman filter and a soft processor. Moreover, we also evaluate the navigation algorithm on a low-cost ARM processor. Processing times and localization accuracy are compared in both cases for single and double precision floating-point format. Experimental results show the advantages of the FPGA-based approach over the ARM-based approach. The proposed architecture can operate at 100 Hz and demonstrates the advantage of using FPGAs to design low-cost INS-GPS …

modeling and a rotor field-oriented control (RFOC) system for controlling a faulty three-phase induction motor (three-phase IM when one of the phases is disconnected). In the adapted scheme for controlling the faulty IM, it is necessary for the PI controller coefficients to change. For this purpose, the gravitational search algorithm (GSA) is used for tuning of PI controllers. The results show the strength and ability of the technique to improve the performance of the faulty IM control.

Reducedcbt And Supercbt: Two New And Improved Complete Binary Tree Structures, Mevlüt Bulut Jan 2016

Reducedcbt And Supercbt: Two New And Improved Complete Binary Tree Structures, Mevlüt Bulut

Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences

tree, a separate parent-child-sister hierarchy is employed independent of the parent-child-sister hierarchy used for the rest of the tree. Two different versions of such a local hierarchy are introduced. The result of the first proposed hierarchy is a faster and smaller footprint, while the second one provides size variation functionality without a significant computational overhead. Complexity comparison between the algorithms based on the introduced local hierarchies and ones based on previous complete binary tree structures reveals that the novel approach brings considerable memory gains and performance boosts to the complete binary tree based algorithms.

Peak-To-Average Power Ratio Reduction Using Backtracking Search Optimization Algorithm In Ofdm Systems, Necmi̇ Taşpinar, Yüksel Tokur Bozkurt Jan 2016

Peak-To-Average Power Ratio Reduction Using Backtracking Search Optimization Algorithm In Ofdm Systems, Necmi̇ Taşpinar, Yüksel Tokur Bozkurt

Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences

A peak-to-average power ratio (PAPR) reduction method for an orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) system based on a combination of a partial transmit sequence (PTS) scheme with the backtracking search optimization algorithm (BSA) is proposed. The PTS scheme shows good PAPR reduction performance; however, it requires a complex computation to search the set of optimum phase factors, especially for high-speed data transmissions. To minimize the complexity of the search for optimum phase factors, the PTS scheme is combined with the BSA. The BSA is a new and efficient population-based evolutionary search algorithm for real-valued optimization problems. A set of simulations …

The other advantage of this circuit is that intrinsic resistance seen at port X of the DDCCC can easily be tuned by a biasing current. The tuning range of the intrinsic resistance is rather wide. Additionally, a current controlled universal filter and tunable positive and negative active resistors are presented as applications of the proposed …
