Harmonic Reduction Of Svc With System Integrated Apf, Yan Xuhui, Wang Feng, Mahmood Ul Hassan, Muhammad Humayun Jan 2020

Harmonic Reduction Of Svc With System Integrated Apf, Yan Xuhui, Wang Feng, Mahmood Ul Hassan, Muhammad Humayun

Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences

Static var compensators (svcs) are widely used to compensate for reactive power in a system. The hybrid active power filter (hapf) in combination with svc has extensively been studied in the literature to reduce harmonics generated by the svc. This study proposes a new topology of svc for three-phase systems based on a three-phase thyristor-control reactor (tcr). The harmonics generated by the tcr are minimized by an active power filter (apf), which can be realized by a reduced resonant capacitor size. A control strategy comprising feedback and feedforward control is employed to achieve good harmonic reduction and fast transient response. …

A Novel Genome Analysis Method With The Entropy-Based Numerical Techniqueusing Pretrained Convolutional Neural Networks, Bi̇hter Daş, Suat Toraman, İbrahi̇m Türkoğlu

Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences

The identification of DNA sequences as exon and intron is a common problem in genome analysis. The methods used for feature extraction and mapping techniques for the digitization of sequences affect directly the solution of this problem. The existing mapping techniques are not enough to detect coding and noncoding regions in some genomes because the digital representation of each base in a DNA sequence with an integer does not fully reflect the structure of an original DNA sequence. In the entropy-based mapping technique, we could overcome this problem because the technique deepens distinction rates of exon regions, and better reflects …

Finite-Time Dynamic Surface Approach To Nonlinear Systems With Mismatcheduncertainties, Guofa Sun, Yaming Xu

Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences

This paper develops a finite-time dynamic surface control (DSC) scheme for nonlinear systems with mismatched uncertainties via a high-order sliding mode(HOSM) observer. By designing a second-order terminal sliding surface based on the estimated signals, an observer-based sliding mode control (SMC) is designed to counteract the mismatched uncertainties in each step of backstepping. The proposed DSC scheme exhibits the following two attractive features. One is the application of HOSM observer to deal with mismatched system uncertainty functions. This is very different from the traditional approximator-based adaptive methods in dealing with high-order uncertain nonlinear systems. The other is the finite-time convergence of …

An Efficient Reliability Simulation Tool For Lifetime-Aware Analog Circuit Synthesis, Engi̇n Afacan

Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences

Time-dependent degradation (aging) has become more severe in modern CMOS technologies. Therefore, it is highly critical to capture the variation effects and design reliable circuits against aging. Simulation of time-dependent variations is quite complicated since the degradation is a function of time, where the step count of simulation directly affects the accuracy and the efficiency of the analysis. Commercial simulator tools use a constant step count during reliability simulations, in which choosing a large step count degrades the efficiency whereas keeping it small may result in accuracy problems. To overcome this bottleneck, a couple of different approaches have been proposed …

The Quantum Version Of The Shifted Power Method And Its Application Inquadratic Binary Optimization, Ammar Daşkin Jan 2020

The Quantum Version Of The Shifted Power Method And Its Application Inquadratic Binary Optimization, Ammar Daşkin

Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences

In this paper, we present a direct quantum adaptation of the classical shifted power method. The method is very similar to the iterative phase estimation algorithm; however, it does not require any initial estimate of an eigenvector, and as in the classical case its convergence and the required number of iterations are directly related to the eigengap. If the amount of the gap is in the order of $1/poly(n)$, then the algorithm can converge to the dominant eigenvalue in $O(poly(n))$ time. The method can be potentially used for solving any eigenvalue related problem and finding minimum/maximum of a data set …

Replica Bias Circuit For Common-Source Amplifier, Burak Kelleci̇

Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences

A replica bias circuit to set the current of common-source amplifier to reduce the gain variations across process, voltage, and temperature (PVT) changes is proposed. The gain of a common-source amplifier is set by the load resistor and transistor transconductance which is set proportional to a resistor using a constant-gm bias circuit. The success of constant-gm biasing depends on the accuracy of copying of generated current to the transistor. The leakage current at the transistor gate due to the electrostatic discharge protection diodes prevents the matching of the common source transistor current to the constant-gm circuit current.

A Random Subspace Based Conic Functions Ensemble Classifier, Emre Çi̇men

Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences

Classifiers overfit when the data dimensionality ratio to the number of samples is high in a dataset. This problem makes a classification model unreliable. When the overfitting problem occurs, one can achieve high accuracy in the training; however, test accuracy occurs significantly less than training accuracy. The random subspace method is a practical approach to overcome the overfitting problem. In random subspace methods, the classification algorithm selects a random subset of the features and trains a classifier function trained with the selected features. The classification algorithm repeats the process multiple times, and eventually obtains an ensemble of classifier functions. Conic …
