Optimized Idling Grid-Connection Strategy For Synchronous Condenser, Jianxiang Shi, Heqing Huang, Teng Liu, Wei Mu, Jianfeng Zhao

Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences

The rise of large-scale HVDC transmission technology has introduced new requirements for dynamic reactive power compensation in power systems. The new generation of synchronous condensers is independent of grid voltage and does not need to be dragged by a coaxial prime mover, which can improve the dynamic reactive power compensation of the power grid. This new generation of synchronous condensers is dragged by the static frequency converter to a 105% rated speed, after which the static frequency converter logs out. In the process of idling, the excitation mode switching is completed and the unit is connected to the grid simultaneously. …

An Improved Memetic Genetic Algorithm Based On A Complex Network As Asolution To The Traveling Salesman Problem, Hadi Mohammadi, Kamal Mirzaie, Mohammad Reza Mollakhalili Meybodi

Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences

A genetic algorithm (GA) is not a good option for finding solutions around in neighborhoods. The current study applies a memetic algorithm (MA) with a proposed local search to the mutation operator of a genetic algorithm in order to solve the traveling salesman problem (TSP). The proposed memetic algorithm uses swap, reversion and insertion operations to make changes in the solution. In the basic GA, unlike in the real world, the relationship between generations has not been considered. This gap is resolved using the proposed complex network to allow selection among possible solutions. The degree measure has been used for …

Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences

This research article proposes two different variants of variable gain higher-order sliding mode control (HOSMC) strategy for a variable-speed wind energy conversion system (WECS) based on a permanent magnet synchronous generator (PMSG). The main objective is to extract the maximum wind power with reduced chattering and mechanical stress. The main flaw of the classical sliding mode control (SMC) is the high-frequency switching, called chattering, which is alleviated by employing HOSMC strategies. The control law design is based on a super-twisting algorithm (STA) and a real-twisting algorithm (RTA) with variable gains. The proposed control techniques inherit the property of robustness and …

Exhaustive Hard Triplet Mining Loss For Person Re-Identification, Chao Xu, Xiang Sun, Ziliang Chen, Shoubiao Tan

Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences

Person reidentification (Re-ID) is an important task in computer vision and has many applications in videobased surveillance. Recently, the triplet loss has been popular in the deep learning framework for person Re-ID. It is particularly important to note that the selection of hard triplets has significant influence on the performance of the learned deep model. However, the existing triplet losses only focus on some specific forms of hard triplets, thus leading to weaker generalization capability. To address this issue, we propose a novel variant of the triplet loss, named exhaustive hard triplet mining loss (EHTM), which is able to deal …

Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences

Shortening the periods of compaction tests can be possible by analyzing the data obtained from previous laboratory tests with regression methods. The regression analysis applied to current data reduces the cost of experiments, saves time, and gives estimated outputs. In this study, the MLS-SVR, KB-SVR, and DTR algorithms were employed for the first time for the estimation of soil compaction parameters. The performances of these regression algorithms in estimating maximum dry unit weight (MDD) and optimum water content (OMC) were compared. Furthermore, the soil properties (fine-grained soil, sand, gravel, specific gravity, liquid limit, and plastic limit) were employed as inputs …

Optimum Reference Distance Based Path Loss Exponent Determination Forvehicle-To-Vehicle Communication, Kenan Kuzulugi̇l, Zeynep Hasirci, İsmai̇l Hakki Çavdar

Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences

Vehicle-to-vehicle (V2V) communication environment differs from classical wireless communication with respect to low antenna heights and high mobility. Therefore, V2V channel modeling based on real measurements is still crucial to get the channel parameters for the various road environments. One of the most extracted parameters from measurements is path loss exponent and selecting a fixed reference distance value in obtaining this parameter may also cause remarkable fitting errors. Thus, in this study, least square method-based approach for the best-fitted path loss exponent calculation was proposed by determining the optimum reference distance value from the V2V channel measurements. First, V2V channel …

Automated Labeling Of Terms In Medical Reports In Serbian, Aldina Avdic, Ulfeta Marovac, Dragan Jankovic

Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences

Nowadays, many electronic health reports (EHRs) are stored daily. They consist of the structured part and of an unstructured section written in natural language. Due to the limited time for medical examination, EHRs are short reports which often contain errors and abbreviations. Therefore it is a challenge to process an EHR and extract knowledge from this part of the text for different purposes. This paper compares the results of three proposed methods for automatic labeling of medical terms in unstructured parts of EHRs. All words are categorized as words within the medical domain (symptoms, diagnoses, therapies, anatomy, specialties etc.) and …

A Regular Expression Generator Based On Css Selectors For Efficient Extraction From Html Pages, Erdi̇nç Uzun

Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences

Cascading style sheets (CSS) selectors are patterns used to select HTML elements. They are often preferred in web data extraction because they are easy to prepare and have short expressions. In order to be able to extract data from web pages by using these patterns, a document object model (DOM) tree is constructed by an HTML parser for a webpage. The construction process of this tree and the extraction process using this tree increase time and memory costs depending on the number of HTML elements and their hierarchies. For reducing these costs, regular expressions can be considered as a solution. …
