Products blindly crawled over web sources, e.g., online marketplaces, have different description formats, where the features describing the same products differ in both number and representation formats. This problem causes imperfect feature vectors, where the vectors are considered to be not uniform in length and structure, with the features of various data types (numeric, categorical), and unknown vector structures. Furthermore, the product information usually …

This paper proposes a cost-effective solution for integrating a wind--solar system with an existing diesel power plant of a grid-connected site at Taxila, Pakistan. In the case of nonavailability of power from the grid, this diesel power plant acts as a standby system. Three cases were considered in this paper: 1) using the diesel power plant during load-shedding hours; 2) assisting the system …

Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences
With some of the intermittent new energy and large nonlinear loads, grid voltage unbalance, harmonics, and frequency deviation are increasing year by year. The voltage source converter (VSC) is seriously affected by the various unexpected factors, and the presence of grid impedance makes the situation worse. In order to make the VSC track the nonideal grid quickly and accurately, this paper proposes a frequency-adaptive grid-virtual-flux synchronization by multiple second-order generalized integrators (MSOGI-GVFS). Key expressions of the MSOGI-GVFS and its frequency response characteristics are described in this paper. A second-order generalized integrator configured as a quadrature signal generator generates a specific-frequency …

Demand Response In The Day-Ahead Operation Of An Isolated Microgrid In The Presence Of Uncertainty Of Wind Power, Javad Olamaei, Saleh Ashouri
Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences
This paper explores the utilization of demand response in the day-ahead operation of an isolated microgrid in the presence of wind units. The operation of the network with high penetration wind units (i.e. uncertainty of wind units) is modeled as a unit commitment problem. In addition, electrical power storage is modeled in a daily power curve to decrease the effect of uncertainty in the wind units. Due to avoiding large-scale complexities and the deeper study effect of demand-side management on operations, the considered network is regarded as an isolated microgrid. The demand-side management is studied as demand shifting. The simulation …

Regulation Of Methane Gas Output From An Anaerobic Reactor System Using Moving Horizon $H_{\Infty }$ Control, Fatma Yildiz Taşcikaraoğlu, Şeref Naci̇ Engi̇n
Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences
In this study, the moving horizon $\mathcal{H}_{\infty }$\textbf{ }control used for tracking a desired methane gas output from an anaerobic wastewater treatment reactor is compared with classical $\mathcal{H}_{\infty }$ control and a proportional-integral-derivative controller. The nonlinear system is first linearized around the set of equilibrium and operating points selected, and then the linear matrix inequalities required to comply with the constraints and guarantee the stability are constructed. Finally, the experimental results are obtained by implementing the control method in a MATLAB environment. It is concluded that moving horizon $\mathcal{H}_{\infty }$ control yields satisfactory results.

Improving The Drain-Current Expression Of Bsim4 For Hot-Carrier Degradation Modeling That Is Suitable For Analog Applications, Gürsel Düzenli̇
Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences
The reliability evaluation of MOS transistors is one of the most important subjects in device engineering and VLSI design. The down-scaling of device dimensions adversely affects device reliability and lifetime. Although different factors contribute to device reliability and lifetime, the most influential factor is hot-carrier degradation. Furthermore, hot-carrier degradation affects each application uniquely. In analog applications, hot-carrier degradation is more complex and diverse relative to digital applications. In this study, we improve the BSIM4 drain-current model to develop a hot-carrier degradation model that is suitable for both analog and digital applications. Our approach is readily applicable to all process technologies …

Multilevel Hybrid Cascade-Stack Inverter With Substantial Reduction In Switches Number And Power Losses, Mahdi Toopchi Khosroshahi, Ali Ajami, Ata Ollah Mokhberdoran, Mohammadreza Jannati Oskuee
Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences
This paper proposes a multilevel hybrid cascade-stack (HCS) converter. Recently, different new topologies for cascade-type converters have been suggested with the goal of reducing switch number, loss, switch PIV, etc. Meanwhile, output voltage steps increase, and the number of switches is predominately reduced in the suggested inverter in comparison to conventional cascade converters. Additionally, a reduction in the number of on-state switches in the introduced topology causes power loss and voltage drop to decrease. Firstly, the fundamental parts of inverter configuration are described. Afterwards, symmetric and asymmetric converter types are discussed. Simulation and experimental results for 11- and 23-level symmetric …

A Novel Efficient Model For The Power Flow Analysis Of Power Systems, Amir Safdarian, Mahmud Fotuhi Firuzabad, Farrokh Aminifar
A Novel Efficient Model For The Power Flow Analysis Of Power Systems, Amir Safdarian, Mahmud Fotuhi Firuzabad, Farrokh Aminifar
Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences
The overall system status calculated by power flow analysis is the most basic information used for all decisions taken by power system operators and planners. While conventional AC power flow solutions are computationally tractable, approximate DC models are employed in many applications, such as optimal power flow studies and unit commitment problems, mainly due to the linear nature of DC models. These models do not provide any information on the reactive power and voltage magnitude quantities and occasionally inaccurate results of the active power values. This paper presents an efficient power flow approach compromising both the conflicting aspects of speed …

A Hierarchic Approach Based On Swarm Intelligence To Solve The Traveling Salesman Problem, Mesut Gündüz, Mustafa Servet Kiran, Eren Özceylan
Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences
The purpose of this paper is to present a new hierarchic method based on swarm intelligence algorithms for solving the well-known traveling salesman problem. The swarm intelligence algorithms implemented in this study are divided into 2 types: path construction-based and path improvement-based methods. The path construction-based method (ant colony optimization (ACO)) produces good solutions but takes more time to achieve a good solution, while the path improvement-based technique (artificial bee colony (ABC)) quickly produces results but does not achieve a good solution in a reasonable time. Therefore, a new hierarchic method, which consists of both ACO and ABC, is proposed …

The problem of discrete-time modeling of the lumped-parameter Hamiltonian systems is considered for engineering applications. Hence, a novel gradient-based method is presented, exploiting the discrete gradient concept and the forward Euler discretization under the assumption of the continuous Hamiltonian model is known. It is proven that the proposed discrete-time model structure defines a symplectic difference system and has the energy-conserving property under some conditions. In order to provide alternate discrete-time models, 3 different discrete-gradient definitions are given. The proposed models are convenient for the design of sampled-data controllers. All of the models are considered for several well-known Hamiltonian systems and …

Mras-Based Sensorless Speed Backstepping Control For Induction Machine, Using A Flux Sliding Mode Observer, Mohamed Moutchou, Ahmed Abbou, Hassan Mahmoudi
Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences
In this paper, an induction machine rotor speed and rotor flux control using a sensorless backstepping control scheme is discussed. The most interesting point of this technique is that it deals with the nonlinearity of a high-order system by using the virtual control variable to make this system simple, and thus the control outputs can be derived step by step through appropriate Lyapunov functions. To avoid the use of a mechanical sensor, the rotor speed estimation is made by an observer using the model reference adaptive system (MRAS) technique; in order to estimate rotor flux, a sliding mode observer is …

The main objective of this manuscript is to design a high-order sliding-mode observer to provide finite time estimation of unmeasurable states (x_4: oxygen mass, x_5: nitrogen mass) together with the oxygen excess ratio (ratio of the input oxygen flow to the reacted oxygen flow in the cathode). This is done by applying second-order sliding modes through either super twisting or suboptimal controllers to control the proton exchange membrane fuel cell's breathing. The estimated oxygen excess ratio is controlled in a closed-loop system using 2 distinct sliding-mode approaches: a cascaded super twisting controller and a single-loop suboptimal structure. Simulation results are …
