Robust Adaptive Fuzzy Control Of A Three-Phase Active Power Filter Based On Feedback Linearization, Shixi Hou, Juntao Fei
Robust Adaptive Fuzzy Control Of A Three-Phase Active Power Filter Based On Feedback Linearization, Shixi Hou, Juntao Fei
Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences
In this paper, a robust adaptive fuzzy control system using feedback linearization is proposed for a three-phase active power filter (APF). The APF system is divided into two separate loops: the current dynamic inner loop and the DC voltage dynamic outer loop. Adaptive fuzzy tracking control using feedback linearization is employed for the current dynamic inner loop to overcome the drawbacks of the conventional method. The proposed controller can ensure proper tracking of the reference current and impose desired dynamic behavior, giving robustness and insensitivity to parameter variations. Adaptive fuzzy proportional-integral control is applied to the DC voltage dynamics outer …

Gica: Imperialist Competitive Algorithm With Globalization Mechanism For Optimization Problems, Yousef Abdi, Mahmoud Lak, Yousef Seyfari
Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences
The imperialist competitive algorithm (ICA) is a recent global search strategy developed based on human social evolutionary phenomena in the real world. However, the ICA has the drawback of trapping in local optimum solutions when used for high-dimensional or complex multimodal functions. In order to deal with this situation, in this paper an improved ICA, named GICA, is proposed that can enhance ICA performance by using a new assimilation method and establishing a relationship between countries inspired by the globalization concept in the real world. The proposed algorithm is evaluated using a set of well-known benchmark functions for global optimization. …

Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences
The purpose of this study is to investigate an adaptive control approach for completely nonaffine pure-feedback systems with linear/nonlinear parameterization. In this approach, the parameter separation technique and the idea of the positive function of linearly connected parameters are coupled effectively with the combination of backstepping and time-scale separation. Subsequently, a fast dynamical equation is derived from the original subsystem, where the solution is sought to approximate the corresponding ideal virtual/actual control inputs. Furthermore, the adaptation law of unknown parameters can be derived based on Lyapunov theory in the backstepping technique and there is no need to design a state …

It is beneficial for telecommunication authorities and Internet service providers (ISPs) to classify and detect voice traffic. It can help them to block unsubscribed users from using their services, which saves them huge revenues. Voice packets can be detected easily, but it becomes complicated when the application or port information in the packet header is hidden due to some secure mechanism such as encryption. This work provides effective voice packet classification and detection based on behavioral and statistical analysis, which is independent of any application, security protocol, or encryption mechanism. First we have made initial assessments through packet feature analysis …

Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences
In this paper, a dynamic model is developed for high-voltage circuit breakers to extract fault features and causes. Lagrange's method is applied using geometric equations of mechanism components to write the model. Unlike previous approaches, the proposed method reveals and analyzes all types of circuit breaker operating mechanism faults. Early fault detection, which is a vital requirement of the fault diagnosis system, becomes feasible by keeping track of changes in the contact travel curve in the proposed model. Resulting faults in the travel curve are analyzed mathematically in order to find out the exact origin of the fault. Field test …

Analysis And Design Of Grid-Connected 3-Phase 3-Level At-Npc Inverter For Low-Voltage Applications, Emre Avci, Mehmet Uçar
Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences
The 3-level T-type neutral point clamped (T-NPC) inverter has become the most popular multilevel inverter used in low-voltage applications. However, the realization of a bidirectional switch located at the midpoint leg of the T-NPC inverter is achieved using two insulated gate bipolar transistors (IGBTs) with two antiparallel diodes. Power dissipation in these switches is high since there are two semiconductors (an IGBT and a diode) in the current path at the midpoint leg. Switch losses can be reduced and thus the highest conversion efficiency can be achieved if the bidirectional switches in the T-NPC inverter are replaced by highly efficient …
Two-Group Decodable Distributed Differential Space-Time Code For Wireless Relay Networks Based On Sast Codes, Obada Abdallah, Ammar Abu Hudrouss
Two-Group Decodable Distributed Differential Space-Time Code For Wireless Relay Networks Based On Sast Codes, Obada Abdallah, Ammar Abu Hudrouss
Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences
Space-time code can be implemented in wireless relay networks when all relays cooperate to generate the code at the receiver. In this case, it is called distributed space-time code. If the channel response changes very quickly, the idea of differential space-time coding is needed to overcome the difficulty of updating the channel state information at the receiver. As a result, the transmitted signal can be demodulated without any knowledge of the channel state information at the relays or the receiver. In this paper, development of new low decoding complexity distributed differential space-time codes is considered. The developed codes are designed …

Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences
A flexible (2 $\times $ 1) multiple-input, multiple-output (MIMO) antenna with an electromagnetic band gap (EBG) unit cell is designed and measured. The proposed MIMO antenna is based on a circular slotted patch antenna to work at 3.5 GHz. An EBG unit cell is used to reduce the effect of the inherent mutual coupling produced between the closely spaced MIMO elements. The results show that the measured mutual coupling has been reduced by -11.6 dB (from -10 dB to -21.6 dB), and the measured realized gain has been increased by 1.074 dBi (from 1.59 dBi to 2.66 dBi). An improvement …
Disk Scheduling With Shortest Cumulative Access Time First Algorithms, Nai̇l Akar, Çağlar Tunç, Mark Gaertner, Fati̇h Erden
Disk Scheduling With Shortest Cumulative Access Time First Algorithms, Nai̇l Akar, Çağlar Tunç, Mark Gaertner, Fati̇h Erden
Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences
A new class of scheduling algorithms is proposed for disk drive scheduling. As opposed to choosing the request with the shortest access time in conventional shortest access time first (SATF) algorithms, we choose an ordered sequence of pending I/O requests at the scheduling instant with the shortest cumulative access time. Additionally, we introduce flexibility for forthcoming requests to alter the chosen sequence. Simulation results are provided to validate the effectiveness of the proposed disk scheduler. Throughput gains of 3% and above are shown to be attainable, although this occurs at the expense of increased computational complexity.

Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences
Many central examinations are performed nationwide in Turkey. These examinations are held simultaneously throughout Turkey. Examinees attempt to arrive at the examination centers at the same time and they encounter problems such as traffic congestion, especially in metropolises. The state of mind that this situation puts them into negatively affects the achievement and future goals of the test takers. Our solution to minimize the negative effects of this issue is to assign the test takers to closest examination centers taking into account the capacities of examination halls nearby. This solution is a special case of the generalized assignment problem (GAP). …

Iris Nevus Diagnosis: Convolutional Neural Network And Deep Belief Network, Oyebade Oyedotun, Adnan Khashman
Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences
This work presents the diagnosis of iris nevus using a convolutional neural network (CNN) and deep belief network (DBN). Iris nevus is a pigmented growth (tumor) found in the front of the eye or around the pupil. It is seen that racial and environmental factors affect the iris color (e.g., blue, hazel, brown) of patients; hence, pigmented growths may be masked in the eye background or iris. In this work, some image processing techniques are applied to images to reinforce areas of interests in them, after which the considered classifiers are trained. We describe the automated diagnosis of iris nevus …

A Hybrid Of Sliding Mode Control And Fuzzy Logic Control Using A Fuzzy Supervisory Switched System For Dc Motor Speed Control, Husain Ahmed, Abha Rajoriya
Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences
In many applications of DC motor speed control systems, PID controllers are mostly used. Such control schemes do not show good performance when input and load torque disturbances are applied. This paper shows that sliding mode (SM) can give better control due to its robust property but it has an unwanted chattering problem associated with it, which is harmful to the plant. To limit this problem a hybrid controller is presented in which a fuzzy controller is combined with the SM controller by a fuzzy supervisory system in such a way that the SM controller works in transient state and …

We used local and nonlocal information distance in the initial function of the robust FCM model. The obtained results of the classification of MRI images showed the effectiveness of the suggested model. Calculation of the similarity index confirms that our method is well adapted to MRI images even in the presence of noise.

Adaptive Joint Block-Weighted Collaborative Representation For Facial Expression Recognition, Zhe Sun, Zhengping Hu, Meng Wang, Shuhuan Zhao
Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences
Facial expression recognition (FER) plays a significant role in human-computer interactions. Recently, regularized linear representation-based classification has achieved satisfying results in FER. Considering that different blocks in a sample should contribute differently to the representation and classification, we propose an adaptive joint block-weighted collaborative representation-based classification (JBW_CRC) method to effectively exploit the similarity and distinctiveness of different blocks. In JBW_CRC, samples are divided into different blocks and each block of the query sample is represented as a feature vector. Each feature vector is coded on its related block dictionary, which considers the similarity among the feature vectors. Additionally, the distinctiveness …

Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences
In this paper, based on the theory of traveling waves, the fault distances on long transmission lines with various series-compensation levels are determined using transient current and voltage frequencies. Transmission lines with series compensation are modeled using Alternative Transients Program software with frequency-dependent effects on the line included in the simulation. The transient current and voltage signals are obtained from the model. A fast Fourier transform is used for frequency-domain conversion and fault location is estimated from the frequencies of fault-generated harmonics in the transient spectrum. The algorithm is implemented in MATLAB. To investigate the effect of compensation on accuracy, …

A Spatial Load Forecasting Method Based On Load Regularity Analysis, Bai Xiao, Tongtong Liu
Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences
A new method, based on regularity analysis of cellular load, is presented to determine the reasonable maximum of the load density index method of spatial load forecasting (SLF). Through analysis of cellular historical load data, each cellular load is decomposed into regular and random components. The regular part is used to reveal the regularity of the cellular load in different cycles, using random components to describe and characterize the intrinsic error of the cellular load. Adverse effects that occur by eliminating random components to suppress the intrinsic error allow extraction of the maximum of the regular part as the Class …

Time-Jerk Optimal Trajectory Planning Of A 7-Dof Redundant Robot, Shaotian Lu, Jingdong Zhao, Li Jiang, Hong Liu
Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences
In order to improve the efficiency and smoothness of a robot and reduce its vibration, an algorithm called the augmented Lagrange constrained particle swarm optimization (ALCPSO), which combines constrained particle swarm optimization with the augmented Lagrange multiplier method to realize time-jerk (defined as the derivative of the acceleration) optimal trajectory planning is proposed. Kinematic constraints such as joint velocities, accelerations, jerks, and traveling time are considered. The ALCPSO algorithm is used to avoid local optimization because a new particle swarm is newly produced at each initial time process. Additionally, the best value obtained from the former generation is saved and …

Case Study On Wavelet Choice Based On Statistical Image Quality Measures, Igor Vujovic, Ivica Kuzmanic
Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences
Surveillance applications are under many negative influences, which should be suppressed, because these negative influences result in incorrectness of the motion mask. Suppression of several conflicting requirements can be optimized by a multiobjective approach. This paper proposes a multiobjective approach to selection of wavelets based on two main objectives: statistical image quality measures and execution time. Execution time is a measure of wavelets complexity. Segmentation is the final goal in order to insure precise operation of any surveillance algorithm. This paper presents a case study considering one, two, three, and four goals for wavelet selection comparison. Different wavelets are found …

Robust Local Parameter Estimator Based On Least Absolute Value Estimator, Volkan Özdemi̇r, Murat Göl
Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences
Changes in weather conditions such as temperature and humidity, miscommunication between the control center and circuit breaker transducers and tap changers, and inaccurate manufacturing data may cause parameter errors. Because of incorrect parameters, the state estimator may provide biased state estimates, which may lead to many serious economic and operational results. In order to prevent that, one must identify and correct those parameter errors. This work proposes a local parameter estimator based on the least absolute value (LAV) estimator, which is known to be robust against bad measurements, i.e. measurements with gross error. Considering the increasing number of phasor measurement …

In this paper, the impact of initial search radius on the complexity and performance of a sphere decoding algorithm is investigated for different user positions within a distributed antenna system. In a distributed antenna system, users can take up random positions within the cell clusters. The channel matrix can therefore take up infinitely different forms. In the presented work, a distributed antenna system with three different user positions in the cooperating cells is considered by employing different channel matrices. The effect on the complexity and performance of the sphere decoder due to the choice of the initial sphere radius is …

A Multifunctional Dstatcom For Power Quality Improvement, Mohammad Mahdianpoor, Arash Kiyoumarsi, Mohammad Ataei, Rahmat Allah Hooshmand, Houshang Karimi
Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences
The distribution static compensator (DSTATCOM) is used for various purposes such as load balancing, harmonic rejection, and power factor correction (PFC) in power distribution networks. In unbalanced and polluted power systems, the classic definition of power factor cannot be used for PFC due to the existence of harmonics and negative sequence components in voltage and current waveforms. In this paper, PFC is performed using the IEEE power factor definition for harmonic and unbalanced environments. Moreover, the application of a proportional-resonant (PR) controller is proposed as an effective controller in the stationary frame for DSTATCOM performance improvement. The PR controller is …
