Stochastic Congestion Management Considering Power System Uncertainties: A Chance-Constrained Programming Approach, Mehrdad Hojjat, Mohammad Hossein Javidi, Dariush Yazdanpanah

Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences

Considering system uncertainties in developing power systems, algorithms such as congestion management (CM) are vital in power system analysis and studies. This paper proposes a new model for power system CM by considering power system uncertainties based on chance-constrained programming (CCP). In the proposed approach, transmission constraints are taken into account by stochastic, instead of deterministic, models. The proposed approach considers network uncertainties with a specific level of probability in the optimization process, and then an analytical approach is used to solve the new model of stochastic congestion management. In this approach, the stochastic optimization problem is transformed into an …

These parameters are given, at a known irradiance and temperature, from the knowledge of three operating points: short circuit, open circuit, and maximum power. In the first step, the adopted approach concerns the resolution of the system of equations constituting the three operating points to write all the model parameters according to series resistance. Secondly, we make an iterative resolution at the optimal operating point by using the Newton--Raphson method to calculate the series resistance …

Extracting The Region Of Interest From Mfl Signals, Ali Sadr, Raziyeh Sadat Okhovat Jan 2016

Extracting The Region Of Interest From Mfl Signals, Ali Sadr, Raziyeh Sadat Okhovat

Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences

In this paper, we study the magnetic flux leakage (MFL) signals for detection of defects in ferromagnetic materials. MFL signals consist of a background that is not constant and is combined with noise. Since there are slight variations because of noise, any large distortion shows a defect. Here the estimation of the background and then the determination of a threshold to distinguish defects from noise have been used for locating defects. In this method, precise evaluation of these two parameters has a vital role on the defect detection. The concept of histograms has been employed for eliminating the effect of …

The incremental calculation methods of collaborative filtering, clustering, singular value decomposition, and bipartite algorithm have achieved some progress; however, there is limited research on the incremental computation of the weighted bipartite algorithm. This paper proposes a personalized recommendation algorithm. In this algorithm, the rank of the recommendations is …


An Improved Real-Time Adaptive Kalman Filter With Recursive Noise Covariance Updating Rules, Iyad Hashlamon, Kemaletti̇n Erbatur Jan 2016

An Improved Real-Time Adaptive Kalman Filter With Recursive Noise Covariance Updating Rules, Iyad Hashlamon, Kemaletti̇n Erbatur

Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences

The Kalman filter (KF) is used extensively for state estimation. Among its requirements are the process and observation noise covariances, which are unknown or partially known in real-life applications. Uncertain and biased values of the covariances result in KF performance degradation or divergence. Unlike previous methods, we are using the idea of the recursive estimation of the KF to develop two recursive updating rules for the process and observation covariances, respectively designed based on the covariance matching principles. Each rule has a tuning parameter that enhances its flexibility for noise adaptation. The proposed adaptive Kalman filter (AKF) proves itself to …

In this paper the association estimators that might be used in GNI applications are reviewed. The aim is to prepare a comprehensive and comparative review of all the important association estimators available in the literature. We performed this main aim by presenting, classifying, comparing, and discussing …

Walsh Series Modeling And Estimation In Sensorless Position Control Of Electrical Drives, Hamidreza Shirazi, Jalal Nazarzadeh Jan 2016

Walsh Series Modeling And Estimation In Sensorless Position Control Of Electrical Drives, Hamidreza Shirazi, Jalal Nazarzadeh

Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences

High-performance electrical drives can be achieved by using field-oriented controllers, which make torque and flux naturally decoupled. A conventional vector-controlled drive has the disadvantage of either requiring flux and speed sensors or being affected by rotor resistance, which varies along with the motor performance. The presented paper focuses on developing a high-performance sensorless rotor flux-oriented controller of an induction machine independent of the rotor resistance variation. This method applies spectral theory of Walsh functions, which are one of the most helpful members of piecewise constant basis functions in solving dynamic models. Inherent characteristics of Walsh functions and application of an …

A Novel Key Distribution Scheme Against Storage-Bounded Adversaries Using Attack Probabilities, Mohammad Farhadi Bajestani, Ali Payandeh

Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences

Key establishment proves to be a challenging problem in wireless sensor networks. A key establishment scheme needs to incorporate properties like scalability and energy efficiency. We propose a scheme that, besides enjoying a desirable scalability, consumes resources according to attack probability within each region. In this scheme, the distribution area is divided into regions of varying attack probability. It is assumed that the adversary is storage bounded and that not all communications can be stored by the adversary. This scheme is highly resistant to node compromises and there is an extremely low probability of discovering the key by the adversary …

Optimization With Genetic Algorithm Of Temperature-Dependent Fiber Length Of L-Band Edfa Gain, Murat Yücel, Damt Adnan Mustafa Mustafa

Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences

Erbium-doped fiber amplifiers (EDFAs) have great importance in long-distance communication. It is required to have equal gain for all signals that are transferred and to avoid loss in the receiver of long-distance communication systems. However, temperature dependence changes the output spectrum of the designed gain-flattening systems. In this study, each erbium-doped fiber (EDF) length of a two-stage L-band EDFA has been optimized using a genetic algorithm method; because of the temperature dependence of EDFAs, there is no general rule. Thus, a simple, fast, dynamic, and highly accurate model has been developed and obtained for different EDF lengths that will fix …

Reconstructive Sensing Circuit For Complementary Resistive Switches-Based Crossbar Memories, Ertuğrul Karakulak, Reşat Mutlu, Erdem Uçar

Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences

Complementary resistive switches (CRSs) are suggested as an alternative to one-cell memristor memories to decrease leakage currents. However, their sensing is more difficult and complex than one-cell memristor memories. A method has been given for sensing their state using only DC voltages in the literature. However, in this strategy, sensing one of the logic states results in the destruction of the state and the destroyed state must be written again. To the best of our knowledge, a circuit with this sensing strategy does not exist in the literature yet. In this paper, such a circuit employing this method, which is …
