Ionolab-Map: An Automatic Spatial Interpolation Algorithm For Total Electron Content, Muhammet Necat Devi̇ren, Feza Arikan
Ionolab-Map: An Automatic Spatial Interpolation Algorithm For Total Electron Content, Muhammet Necat Devi̇ren, Feza Arikan
Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences
Investigation of the variability of total electron content (TEC) is one of the most important parameters of the observation and monitoring of space weather, which is the main cause of signal disturbance in space-based communication, positioning, and navigation systems. TEC is defined as the total number of electrons on a ray path. The Global Positioning System (GPS) provides a cost-effective solution for the estimation of TEC. Due to various physical and operational disturbances, TEC may have temporal and spatial domain gaps. Global ionospheric maps (GIMs) provide worldwide TEC with 1- to 2-h temporal resolution and $2.5^{\circ}\, \times 5^{\circ}$ spatial resolution …

Application Of Domination Integrity Of Graphs In Pmu Placement In Electric Power Networks, Mariappan Saravanan, Ramalingam Sujatha, Raman Sundareswaran, Muthu Selvan Balasubramanian
Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences
In this paper, we propose the application of the concept of power domination integrity to an electric power network. A phasor measurement unit (PMU) is used to analyze and control the power system by measuring voltage phase in electrical nodes and transmission lines. Due to the high cost of PMUs, it is necessary to minimize the number of PMUs such that the depth of observability is ensured. Placing PMUs in a network can be formulated as a graph theoretic problem of finding the minimum number of nodes (PMUs) in a graph that has a maximum number of links with other …

The Impact Of Transmission Power Levels Set Size On Lifetime Of Wireless Sensor Networks In Smart Grids, Hüseyi̇n Uğur Yildiz
Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences
Wireless sensor networks (WSNs) have been confirmed as one of the most promising technologies for many smart grid (SG) applications due to their low complexity and inexpensive costs. A typical WSN is formed with numerous battery limited sensor nodes mounted on critical components of a SG system for monitoring applications. Acquired monitoring data by sensor nodes are conveyed to the base station generally by using multihop communication techniques. WSN-based SG applications encounter severe propagation losses due to extreme channel conditions of the SG environment. In order to reduce possible packet errors caused by channel variations, transmission power control approaches can …
Choice Of Battery Energy Storage For A Hybrid Renewable Energy System, Kusum Lata Tharani, Ratna Dahiya
Choice Of Battery Energy Storage For A Hybrid Renewable Energy System, Kusum Lata Tharani, Ratna Dahiya
Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences
There are certain unelectrified villages across the Indian subcontinent where providing supply through the grid is difficult due to forest cover or mountainous terrain. The most feasible option is to provide off-grid electrification through renewable energy resources such as solar or wind energy. These intermittent sources do not promise a 24 $\times $ 7 supply system. Thus, along with solar or wind energy systems, it becomes important to use a renewable resource, such as biomass, which is available in abundance in rural areas. The need for battery energy storage becomes mandatory in order to store the surplus energy produced by …
An Elitist Approach For Solving The Traveling Salesman Problem Using An Animalmigration Optimization Algorithm, Ezgi̇ Ülker
An Elitist Approach For Solving The Traveling Salesman Problem Using An Animalmigration Optimization Algorithm, Ezgi̇ Ülker
Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences
This paper presents an improved version of the animal migration optimization (AMO) algorithm for solving the traveling salesman problem (TSP), which is classified as a combinatorial NP-hard problem. AMO is one of the recent metaheuristic algorithms inspired by the migration behavior of animals and has been efficiently applied to a variety of optimization problems. The algorithm is improved by reconstructing the neighborhood topology of each animal during the migration. This modified algorithm is called the elitist animal migration optimization (ELAMO) algorithm, since elitism is introduced as a way in which the positions of the leaders are considered for the neighborhood …
Damping Wide-Area Oscillations In Power Systems: A Model Predictive Controldesign, Emrah Biyik, Munir Husein
Damping Wide-Area Oscillations In Power Systems: A Model Predictive Controldesign, Emrah Biyik, Munir Husein
Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences
Electromechanical oscillations in power systems have been observed ever since synchronous generators were interconnected to provide reliability and higher generation capacity, and they have become a severe threat for the safe and economic operation of modern interconnected power grids. To dampen these oscillations, wide-area damping controllers (WADCs) have been introduced by utilizing wide-area measurement systems and synchronized phasor measurement units. In this paper, we present a systematic approach for designing WADCs using a model predictive control (MPC) technique to damp interarea oscillations in the power system. The MPC controller computes optimal control signals for the excitation system of a remote …
