On the basis of this model, the link between the capacitor voltage, switching states, and load current is established. This allows understanding the switching redundancies' effect on the DC capacitor voltage balance. An algorithm is then …


Evaluation Of Hearing Loss Simulation Using A Speech Intelligibility Index, Umut Ariöz, Banu Günel Jan 2016

Evaluation Of Hearing Loss Simulation Using A Speech Intelligibility Index, Umut Ariöz, Banu Günel

Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences

Hearing loss simulation (HLS) is a useful tool for hearing studies, since finding large numbers of hearing-impaired volunteers with various levels of hearing loss is usually a problem. Correct simulation of the hearing impaired ear should take into account different suprathreshold effects, such as reduced frequency selectivity, reduced audibility, and loudness recruitment. Although these effects can be implemented using various algorithms, so far they have not been evaluated in detail taking into account subject dependency, effect of noisy environment, and phonetic characteristics of test words. In this study, for the purpose of evaluating the HLS, a speech intelligibility index (SII) …

Speech Steganalysis Based On The Delay Vector Variance Method, Osman Hi̇lmi̇ Koçal, Emrah Yürüklü, Erdoğan Di̇laveroğlu

Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences

This study investigates the use of delay vector variance-based features for steganalysis of recorded speech. Because data hidden within a speech signal distort the properties of the original speech signal, we designed a new audio steganalyzer that utilizes delay vector variance (DVV) features based on surrogate data in order to detect the existence of hidden data. The proposed DVV features are evaluated individually and together with other chaotic-type features. The performance of the proposed steganalyzer method is also discussed with a focus on the effect of different hiding capacities. The results of the study show that using the proposed DVV …


Assessment Of The Maximum Loadability Point Of A Power System After Third Zone Of Distance Relay Corrective Actions, Zahra Moravej, Sajad Bagheri Jan 2016

Assessment Of The Maximum Loadability Point Of A Power System After Third Zone Of Distance Relay Corrective Actions, Zahra Moravej, Sajad Bagheri

Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences

In this paper, the operation of a system and distance relay is improved during voltage instability by using an improved strategy. After detecting the voltage instability, the third zone is blocked. However, the system is prone to voltage collapse. Shunt capacitor compensation and a load shedding scheme can be used to protect the system from voltage collapse conditions. Load shedding plans can be performed based on a reduction in the power flow in the line where the relay is located. The reason is that the minimum eigenvalue of the load flow Jacobian (reduced and unreduced Jacobians) is increased and the …


Development Of Derivation Of Inverse Jacobian Matrices For 195 6-Dof Gsp Mechanisms, Meti̇n Toz, Serdar Küçük Jan 2016

Development Of Derivation Of Inverse Jacobian Matrices For 195 6-Dof Gsp Mechanisms, Meti̇n Toz, Serdar Küçük

Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences

One of the key issues in robotics is finding high-performance manipulator structures. To evaluate the performance of a parallel manipulator, researchers mostly use kinematic performance indices (such as condition number, minimum singular value, dexterity, and manipulability), which are based on inverse Jacobian matrices. Driving the inverse Jacobian matrix of even one parallel manipulator is a very cumbersome process. However, in this paper, general equations for the inverse Jacobian matrices of 195 GSP mechanisms are symbolically derived by considering 4 basic leg types having 1 angular and 4 distance constraints. With the help of these general equations, the development of the …


A Generalized Algorithm For Space Vector Modulation In Multilevel Inverters, Erkan Meşe Jan 2016

A Generalized Algorithm For Space Vector Modulation In Multilevel Inverters, Erkan Meşe

The algorithm can be implemented with minimum computational burden and it does not require any look-up tables. The essence of the technique is to exploit the redundancy of switching functions in the implementation of the voltage vectors and dividing the entire vector space into three sectors in which switching functions have some common features. Careful observations showed that these common features lend themselves to be expressed …


Stability Assessment Of Isolated Six-Phase Induction Generator Feeding Static Loads, Kiran Singh, Girish Kumar Singh Jan 2016

Stability Assessment Of Isolated Six-Phase Induction Generator Feeding Static Loads, Kiran Singh, Girish Kumar Singh

Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences

This paper presents the stability analysis of a six-phase self-excited induction generator (SP-SEIG) based on the eigenvalue stability criteria for its linearized model. This demonstrates the small signal stability behavior during steady-state operating conditions. The eigenvalue approach also establishes an opportunity to correlate eigenvalues with machine parameters. The investigation in this paper reveals that the eigenvalues are dependent upon the machine parameters, and the most critical parameter is the variation in magnetizing inductance (L$_{m})$. The eigenvalues are varied in accordance with the machine variables and give focus to the stabilization of the SP-SEIG. A particular voltage build-up phenomenon is also …

The main concern of these models is determining the striking distance between the leader tip and the lightning rod during lightning occurrences. The striking distance is a significant factor in designing the lightning protection system. However, models using finite element analysis (FEA) for this purpose are less likely to be found in the literature. Therefore, in this work, a geometry model of a lightning rod and leader was developed using available FEA software. The model was used to determine …

Tests demonstrated that minimizing total harmonic distortion could reduce torque ripple. The optimal point was determined using optimization algorithms, and a hybrid of genetic and particle swarm optimization algorithms simultaneously in order to increase efficiency and to reduce …


Keyframe-Based Video Mosaicing For Historical Ottoman Documents, Edi̇z Şaykol Jan 2016

Keyframe-Based Video Mosaicing For Historical Ottoman Documents, Edi̇z Şaykol

Fast Image Search On A Vq Compressed Image Database, Mehmet Yakut Jan 2016

Fast Image Search On A Vq Compressed Image Database, Mehmet Yakut

Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences

A fast and efficient image search method is developed for a compressed image database using vector quantization (VQ). An image search on an image database requires an exhaustive sequential scan of all the images, given the similarity measure. If compressed images are dealt with, images are decompressed as an initial operation and then the previously mentioned exhaustive search is performed using the predetermined similarity measure. If the images in the database are compressed using VQ, the image search process is reduced to codebook index match tests. A pixel by pixel similarity test of two images computationally costs too much. This …


An Attribute Or Tuple Timestamping In Bitemporal Relational Databases, Canan Atay Jan 2016

An Attribute Or Tuple Timestamping In Bitemporal Relational Databases, Canan Atay

Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences

Much of the research on bitemporal databases has focused on the modeling of time-related data with either attribute or tuple timestamping. While the attribute-timestamping approach attaches bitemporal data to attributes, the tuple-timestamping approach splits the object's history into several tuples. Although there have been numerous studies on bitemporal data models, there is no work contrasting these two common approaches in terms of system performance and ease of use. In this paper, we compared interval-based attribute- and tuple-timestamped bitemporal data models by running sample queries to measure processing time, and then we evaluated their usability by using the same data. Our …

Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences

In this paper, a novel algorithm based on fuzzy logic and neural networks is proposed to find an approximation of the optimal step size $\mu $ for least-mean-squares (LMS) adaptive beamforming systems. A new error ensemble learning (EEL) curve is generated based on the final prediction value of the ensemble-average learning curve of the LMS adaptive algorithm. This information is classified and fed into a back propagation neural network, which automatically generates membership functions for a fuzzy inference system. An estimate of the optimal step size is obtained using a group of linguistic rules and the corresponding defuzzification method. Computer …


A New Compression Algorithm For Fast Text Search, Aydin Carus, Altan Mesut Jan 2016

A New Compression Algorithm For Fast Text Search, Aydin Carus, Altan Mesut

Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences

We propose a new compression algorithm that compresses plain texts by using a dictionary-based model and a compressed string-matching approach that can be used with the compressed texts produced by this algorithm. The compression algorithm (CAFTS) can reduce the size of the texts to approximately 41% of their original sizes. The presented compressed string matching approach (SoCAFTS), which can be used with any of the known pattern matching algorithms, is compared with a powerful compressed string matching algorithm (ETDC) and a compressed string-matching tool (Lzgrep). Although the search speed of ETDC is very good in short patterns, it can only …

In addition, a simulation environment implemented on MATLAB is developed in order to overcome the time-consuming and tedious process of hardware verification on the FPGA platform. The simulation environment provides specific tools to quickly implement the proposed methods. It is shown that …


The Impact Of Disabling Suspicious Node Communications On Network Lifetime In Wireless Ad Hoc Sensor Networks, Zeydi̇n Pala, Ni̇hat İnanç Jan 2016

The Impact Of Disabling Suspicious Node Communications On Network Lifetime In Wireless Ad Hoc Sensor Networks, Zeydi̇n Pala, Ni̇hat İnanç

Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences

In wireless sensor networks (WSNs), the data observed by different nodes must be relayed safely to the base station over intermediate nodes. In the network environment, some sensor nodes can act suspiciously when they enter someone else's control or due to other equipment failure. Data packets that are sent through suspicious nodes may be randomly dropped or may be not delivered as desired. In this paper, we investigate the impact of disabling suspicious nodes communications on network lifetime through a linear programming framework. We build a mathematical programming framework and perform comprehensive numerical analysis. Our results show that the decrease …

Some Observations On No-Load Losses Of An Asymmetrical Six-Phase Synchronous Machine, Arif Iqbal, Girish Kumar Singh, Vinay Pant

Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences

The use of multiphase (more than three-phase) ac machines is well adopted in different high power applications and the evaluation of different losses (no load losses, short circuit load loss, friction and windage losses, and stray loss) in multiphase machines is extremely important for the correct determination of their operating performance. Therefore, the paper presents a detailed experimental investigation of an asymmetrical (30$^{\circ}$ displacement between the two winding sets) six-phase synchronous machine for determination of different losses under no-load condition. Moreover, a comparative study of losses for a six-phase and three-phase synchronous machine has also been performed. The results are …

A Monte Carlo-Based Poisson's Equation Solver Parallelized With Coarray Fortran, Nevsan Şengi̇l, Özgür Tümüklü, Mehmet Cevdet Çelenli̇gi̇l

Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences

Poisson's equation is found in many scientific problems, such as heat transfer and electric field calculations. Although many different techniques are involved in solving Poisson's equation, we focused on the Monte Carlo method (MCM). We preferred the MCM not only because of its simple algorithm but also for its excellent parallel efficiency. Parallelization is one of the most effective techniques for reducing computation time. Among many parallelization paradigms, such as OpenMP (open multiprocessing), MPI (message passing interface), and PGAS (partitioned global address space), we adopted the PGAS-based Coarray Fortran (CAF). In this paper, we demonstrated that parallelization of Poisson's equation …

The results of this research show that the delay spread values generally decrease with increasing mobile speed. Additionally, the degree of …


The Self-Adaptive Alternating Direction Method For The Multiarea Economic Dispatch Problem, Yaming Ren, Shumin Fei, Haikun Wei Jan 2016

The Self-Adaptive Alternating Direction Method For The Multiarea Economic Dispatch Problem, Yaming Ren, Shumin Fei, Haikun Wei

Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences

The alternating direction method has been used widely in the power systems field for solving the multiarea dispatch problem. However, experience with applications has shown that the convergence rate of the alternating direction method depends significantly on the selection of the penalty parameter of the linear consistency constraint. Typically, it is difficult to obtain the optimal penalty parameter in advance. In this paper, for the purpose of solving this problem, we propose centralized and distributed self-adaptive penalty parameter strategies that allow the value of the penalty parameter to increase or decrease based on the information from each iteration.
