Hierarchical Fuzzy Controller Applied To Multi-Input Power System Stabilizer, Ebrahim Rasooli Anarmarzi, Mohammad Reza Feyzi, Mehrdad Tarafdar Hagh

Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences

This paper proposes the application of a hierarchical fuzzy system (HFS) based on multi-input power system stabilizer (MPSS) in multi-machine environment. The number of rules increases exponentially with the number of variables in a standard fuzzy system. This problem is solved in the proposed HFS method. In this method, the total number of rules increases only linearly with the number of input variables. HFS consists of a number of low-dimensional fuzzy systems in a hierarchical form. In the MPSS, the deviation of reactive power \Delta Q is added to a \Delta P+ \Delta \omega input type Power System Stabilizer (PSS) …

Optimal Feature Selection For 3d Facial Expression Recognition Using Coarse-To-Fine Classification, Hamit Soyel, Hasan Demirel

Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences

Automatic facial expression recognition for novel individuals from 3D face data is a challenging task in pattern analysis. This paper describes a feature selection process for pose-invariant 3D facial expression recognition. The process provides a lower dimensional subspace representation, which is optimized to improve the classification accuracy, retrieved from geometrical localization of facial feature points to classify facial expressions. Fisher criterion-based approach is adopted to provide a basis for the optimal selection of features. Two-stage probabilistic neural network architecture is employed as a classifier to recognize the facial expressions. In the first stage, which can be regarded as the coarse …


Formation Control Of Nonholonomic Mobile Robots Using Implicit Polynomials And Elliptic Fourier Descriptors, Yeşi̇m Hümay Esi̇n, Mustafa Ünel Jan 2010

Formation Control Of Nonholonomic Mobile Robots Using Implicit Polynomials And Elliptic Fourier Descriptors, Yeşi̇m Hümay Esi̇n, Mustafa Ünel

Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences

This paper presents a novel method for the formation control of a group of nonholonomic mobile robots using implicit and parametric descriptions of the desired formation shape. The formation control strategy employs implicit polynomial (IP) representations to generate potential fields for achieving the desired formation and the elliptical Fourier descriptors (EFD) to maintain the formation once achieved. Coordination of the robots is modeled by linear springs between each robot and its two nearest neighbors. Advantages of this new method are increased flexibility in the formation shape, scalability to different swarm sizes and easy implementation. The shape formation control is first …


Artificial Neural Network Based Chaotic Generator For Cryptology, İlker Dalkiran, Kenan Danişman Jan 2010

Artificial Neural Network Based Chaotic Generator For Cryptology, İlker Dalkiran, Kenan Danişman

Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences

Chaotic systems are sensitive to initial conditions, system parameters and topological transitivity and these properties are also remarkable for cryptanalysts. Noise like behavior of chaotic systems is the main reason of using these systems in cryptology. However some properties of chaotic systems such as synchronization, fewness of parameters etc. cause serious problems for cryptology. In this paper, to overcome disadvantages of chaotic systems, the dynamics of Chua's circuit namely x, y and z were modeled using Artificial Neural Network (ANN). ANNs have some distinctive capabilities like learning from experiences, generalizing from a few data and nonlinear relationship between inputs and …


Direct Discrete-Time Control Of Port Controlled Hamiltonian Systems, Yaprak Yalçin, Leyla Gören Sümer Jan 2010

Direct Discrete-Time Control Of Port Controlled Hamiltonian Systems, Yaprak Yalçin, Leyla Gören Sümer

Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences

The direct discrete time control of Port Controlled Hamiltonian Systems (PCHS) in the sense of energy shaping and damping injection is considered. In order to give a direct discrete time design method for PCHS, firstly an appropriate discrete gradient is proposed, which enables the derivation of a discrete time equation corresponding to the discrete time counterpart of Hamiltonian Systems. Using this proposed discrete-time model, the discrete-time counterpart of Passivity Based Control (PBC) technique is developed for n-degrees-of-freedom mechanical systems. The discrete-time control rules which correspond to the energy shaping and damping assignment are obtained directly using the discrete time model …

The method of characteristics for lossless line is used and the state equations are derived for the system. These equations are converted to a set of difference equations using the trapezoidal rule of integration and solved in time domain using LU decomposition. Single- and multi-phase transmission lines with various linear and non-linear terminations are considered in the illustrative examples. State-space modeling of transposed lines using modal decomposition is introduced and the effects caused by lumped parameter approximation …


Adaptive Hysteresis Band Control For Constant Switching Frequency In Dtc Induction Machine Drives, H. İbrahi̇m Okumuş, Mustafa Aktaş Jan 2010

Adaptive Hysteresis Band Control For Constant Switching Frequency In Dtc Induction Machine Drives, H. İbrahi̇m Okumuş, Mustafa Aktaş

Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences

It is fairly well known that direct torque control (DTC) exhibits fast dynamic torque response, a property that originates in the fact that torque and flux is directly controlled by instantaneous space voltage vector, unlike field-oriented control. For this reason direct torque control gradually has been used in the field, eliciting quick response and high efficiency since its introduction in the mid-1980s. Conventional fixed band hysteresis control has several problems. One of these is variable switching frequency, which causes serious problems in DTC. In this paper, an adaptive hysteresis band control strategy is proposed, where the hysteresis band is controlled …


Comparison Of Daubechies Wavelets For Hurst Parameter Estimation, Cebrai̇l Çi̇ftli̇kli̇, Ali̇ Gezer Jan 2010

Comparison Of Daubechies Wavelets For Hurst Parameter Estimation, Cebrai̇l Çi̇ftli̇kli̇, Ali̇ Gezer

Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences

Time scale dependence on the working nature of wavelet analysis makes it a valuable tool for Hurst parameter estimation. Similar to other wavelet-based signal processing applications, the selection of a particular wavelet type and vanishing moment in wavelet based Hurst estimation is a challenging problem. In this paper, we investigate the best Daubechies wavelet in wavelet based Hurst estimation for an exact self similar process, fractional Gaussian noise and how Daubechies vanishing moment affects the Hurst estimation accuracy. Daubechies wavelets are preferred in analysis because increasing vanishing moment does not cause excessive increase of time support of Daubechies wavelets. Thus, …

Thus, there is a need for multiple radars to share a common frequency channel. Proof-of-concept work is presented here for a method to operate multiple radar systems on a common carrier frequency. A review is provided of an existing concept where a common waveform is modulated by tones varying by a few hertz across the different radars. The signals from the different radars are separated by either pulse-domain filtering or Doppler …

Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences

Mobile Ad-hoc NETworks (MANETs) are expected to play an important role in tactical military networks by providing infrastructureless communication. However, maintaining secure and instant information sharing is a difficult task especially for highly dynamic military MANETs. To address this requirement, we propose a new multi-tier adaptive military MANET security protocol using hybrid cryptography and signcryption. In our protocol, we bring novelties to secure military MANET communication for three main points: Cryptographic methods used in MANETs, hybrid key management protocols and structural organization of the military MANETs. As a new approach, we use hybrid cryptography mechanisms and Elliptic Curve Pintsov-Vanstone Signature …

Stator Resistance Estimation Using Ann In Dtc Im Drives, Mustafa Aktaş, H. İbrahi̇m Okumuş Jan 2010

Stator Resistance Estimation Using Ann In Dtc Im Drives, Mustafa Aktaş, H. İbrahi̇m Okumuş

Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences

Torque control of induction motors (IM) requires accurate estimation of the flux in the motor. But the flux estimate, when estimated from the stator circuit variables, is highly dependent on the stator resistance of the IM. As a result, the flux estimate is prone to errors due to variation in the stator resistance, especially at low stator frequencies. In this paper, an Artificial Neural Network (ANN) is used to adjust the stator resistance of an IM. A back propagation training algorithm was used in training the neural network for the simulation. The proposed ANN resistance estimator has shown good performance …


Stochastic Stability Of The Discrete-Time Constrained Extended Kalman Filter, Levent Özbek, Esi̇n Köksal Babacan, Murat Efe Jan 2010

Stochastic Stability Of The Discrete-Time Constrained Extended Kalman Filter, Levent Özbek, Esi̇n Köksal Babacan, Murat Efe

Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences

In this paper, stability of the projection-based constrained discrete-time extended Kalman filter (EKF) as applied to nonlinear systems in a stochastic framework has been studied. It has been shown that like the unconstrained EKF, the estimation error of the EKF with known constraints on the states remains bounded when the initial error and noise terms are small, and the solution of the Riccati difference equation remains positive definite and bounded. Stability results are verified and performance of the constrained EKF is demonstrated through simulations on a nonlinear engineering example.


Relativistic Electromagnetism In Rotating Media, Pierre Hillion Jan 2010

Relativistic Electromagnetism In Rotating Media, Pierre Hillion

Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences

This work concerns relativistic electromagnetism in a cylindrical Frenet-Serret frame. The tensor formalism of Maxwell's equations and electromagnetic fields in a vacuum is first developed in terms of cylindrical coordinates and afterwards applied to a rotating frame using the relativistic Trocheris-Takeno description of rotations. The metric ds^2 = g_{\mu \nu} dx^{\mu} dx^{\nu} of this frame is then obtained to find the determinant g of the g_{\mu \nu} matrix intervening in the relativistic Maxwell's equations, where the Greek indices take on the values 1,2,3,4. The propagation of harmonic cylindrical waves in rotating media is analyzed and it is shown that these …


Nonlinear Scattering At Hf: Prospects For Exploitation In Oth Radar Systems, Stuart Anderson Jan 2010

Nonlinear Scattering At Hf: Prospects For Exploitation In Oth Radar Systems, Stuart Anderson

Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences

HF skywave `over-the-horizon' radars experience exceptionally high levels of clutter from the earth's surface as a consequence of their `look-down' propagation geometry. While Doppler processing is effective in separating aircraft echoes from the clutter, thereby enabling detection, the same does not always hold for slow moving targets. In particular, ship echoes occupy the same region of Doppler space as the sea clutter, so the likelihood of target echo obscuration is high. By exploiting the known dependence of the characteristic spectral form of the clutter Doppler spectrum on radar frequency and other parameters, HF radars can maximise the prospects for detectability …

New Approach Fpga-Based Implementation Of Discontinuous Svpwm}, Tole Sutikno, Auzani Jidin, Nik Rumzi Nik Idris

Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences

The discontinuous space vector pulse-width modulation (DSVPWM) is a well-known technique offering lower switching losses than continuous SVPWM. At the same, average switching frequency, or a switching frequency 1.5 times higher than utilized in continuous SVPWM, the discontinuous SVPWM results in lower current harmonic distortions than that obtained in continuous SVPWM at high modulation indices. This paper is concerned with the design and realization of new FPGA approach based a 5-segment discontinuous SVPWM operated at 40 kHz switching frequency. It will be shown that the implementation of the discontinuous SVPWM utilized in FPGA, to execute some complex tasks, is simplified …


A Novel Algorithm For Sensorless Motion Control Of Flexible Structures, Islam Shoukry Mohammed Khalil, Emrah Deni̇z Kunt, Asif Sabanovic Jan 2010

A Novel Algorithm For Sensorless Motion Control Of Flexible Structures, Islam Shoukry Mohammed Khalil, Emrah Deni̇z Kunt, Asif Sabanovic

Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences

This article demonstrates the validity of using an actuator as a single platform for measurements during a motion control assignment of flexible systems kept free from any kind of measurement. System acceleration level dynamics, parameters and interaction forces with the environment are coupled in an incident reaction torque that naturally rises when a flexible system is subjected to an action imposed by an attached actuator to the system. This work attempts to decouple each of the system parameters out of the incident coupled reaction torque at the interface point of the actuator with the flexible system by way of measurements …


Fast Computation Of Determination Of The Prime Implicants By A Novel Near Minimum Minimization Method, Fati̇h Başçi̇ftçi̇, Şi̇rzat Kahramanli Jan 2010

Fast Computation Of Determination Of The Prime Implicants By A Novel Near Minimum Minimization Method, Fati̇h Başçi̇ftçi̇, Şi̇rzat Kahramanli

Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences

In this study proposed is an off-set-based direct-cover near-minimum minimization method for single-output Boolean functions represented in a sum-of-products form. To obtain the complete set of prime implicants including given on-cube (on-minterm), the proposed method uses off-cubes (off-minterms) expanded by this On-cube. The amount of temporary results produced by this method does not exceed the size of the off-set. To make fast computation, we used logic operations instead of standard operations. Expansion off-cubes, commutative absorption operations and intersection operations are realized by logic operations for fast computation. The proposed minimization method is tested on several different kinds of problems and …

In hard real-time environments like avionic systems or nuclear reactors, the inputs to the system are obtained from real world by using sensors. And it is highly possible for a task to have different resource needs for each period according to these changing conditions of real world. We made an analysis of schedulers for task models having random resources in each period. Since feasibility tests for usual task models are just limited to some specific schedulers and arrival patterns, we made our …


Securing Fuzzy Vault Schemes Through Biometric Hashing, Cengi̇z Örenci̇k, Thomas Brochmann Pedersen, Erkay Savaş, Mehmet Keski̇nöz Jan 2010

Securing Fuzzy Vault Schemes Through Biometric Hashing, Cengi̇z Örenci̇k, Thomas Brochmann Pedersen, Erkay Savaş, Mehmet Keski̇nöz

Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences

The fuzzy vault scheme is a well-known technique to mitigate privacy, security, and usability related problems in biometric identification applications. The basic idea is to hide biometric data along with secret information amongst randomly selected chaff points during the enrollment process. Only the owner of the biometric data who presents correct biometrics can recover the secret and identify himself. Recent research, however, has shown that the scheme is vulnerable to certain types of attacks. The recently proposed ``correlation attack'', that allows linking two vaults of the same biometric, pose serious privacy risks that have not been sufficiently addressed. The primary …

Modeling And Control Of Flow Problems By Adaptation-Based Linear Parameter Varying Models, Coşku Kasnakoğlu Jan 2010

Modeling And Control Of Flow Problems By Adaptation-Based Linear Parameter Varying Models, Coşku Kasnakoğlu

Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences

In this paper a systematic modeling and control approach for flow problems is considered. A nonlinear Galerkin model is obtained from the partial differential equations (PDEs) describing the flow; and a Linear Parameter Varying (LPV) model is constructed to approximate the Galerkin model, where the parameter variation of the LPV model is controller by an adaptation mechanism. The LPV model is then treated as a surrogate on which the control design is carried out, where the parameter variations provide a range of uncertainty in which the control design must perform satisfactorily. It is shown that if certain conditions are met, …

Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences

Accurate knowledge of rotor and stator resistance variations in a squirrel-cage induction motor (SCIM) is crucial for the performance of sensorless control of SCIM over a wide range of speeds. This study seeks to address this issue with a single Extended Kalman Filter (EKF) based solution, which is also known to have accuracy limitations when a high number of parameters/states are estimated with a limited number of inputs. To this aim, different from the author's previous approach in operating several EKFs in an alternating manner (the so-called braided EKF), an 8^{th}-order EKF is implemented in this study to test its …


Usage Of Spline Interpolation In Catheter-Based Cardiac Mapping, Bülent Yilmaz, Uğur Cunedi̇oğlu, Engi̇n Baysoy Jan 2010

Usage Of Spline Interpolation In Catheter-Based Cardiac Mapping, Bülent Yilmaz, Uğur Cunedi̇oğlu, Engi̇n Baysoy

Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences

Due to their minimal invasiveness catheters are highly preferred in cardiac mapping techniques used in the source localization of rhythm disturbances in the heart. In cardiac mapping, standard steerable catheters and multielectrode basket catheters are the two alternatives for the characterization of the underlying tissue on the inner (endocardium) and outer (epicardium) surfaces of the heart. As with any discrete sampling technique, an important question for catheter-based cardiac mapping is how to determine values at locations from which direct measurements are not available. Interpolation is the most common approach for providing values at unmeasured sites using the available measurements. In …
