An Hf/Uhf Dual Mode Rfid Transponder Antenna And Hf Range Extension Using Uhf Wireless Power Transmission, Mustafa Murat Bi̇lgi̇ç, Korkut Yeği̇n

Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences

An HF/UHF compatible RFID transponder antenna is designed, simulated, and measured for dual band operation and HF range extension. A dual mode compatible RFID transponder antenna has the benefits of each mode and eliminates the disadvantages of single mode operation. One of the major drawbacks of UHF antennas is their poor performance when the tag is placed on or near metallic objects. To overcome this shortcoming, two-layer substrate with degenerate grounded is used and a 4-turn spiral antenna is placed on the top and bottom parts of the substrate for HF operation. The co-existence of both antennas affects standalone performances …

Electric Arc Furnace Power Quality Improvement By Applying A New Digital And Predicted-Based Tsc Control, Mehdi Torabian Esfahani, Behrooz Vahidi

Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences

Static VAR compensators (SVC) can improve some of the power quality (PQ) indices such as voltage flicker, unbalances, and power factors in power systems if properly controlled. Different nonlinear and time-varying loads generate these parameters. One of the great nonlinear loads is the electric arc furnace (EAF), which causes waveform distortions, voltage unbalances, and fluctuations. In this paper, a new digital and prediction-based control for thyristor switched capacitors (TSCs) was proposed to compensate an actual steel industrial plant. The digital control was based on generating adequate synchronous pulses, calculating required suitable susceptance, and measuring correct reactive power. The proposed TSC …

Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences

This paper presents the performance characteristics of two induction motors of the same parameters and ratings connected in parallel and fed by a single inverter. A nature observer is employed to estimate the rotor speeds and rotor fluxes of both induction motors. It also estimates the load torques of both the motors by load torque adaptation. Under unbalanced load conditions, the speed difference between the two induction motors is reduced by considering the average and differential motor parameters and currents. Mean rotor flux is maintained constant by a rotor flux control scheme and the estimation of rotor angle is carried …

Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences

The problems related to electromagnetic waves transmitted by lightning strikes can be studied through physical lightning models based on laboratory results. 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 …

Energy-Aware Stochastic Scheduling Model With Precedence Constraints On Dvfs-Enabled Processors, Mohammad Sajid, Zahid Raza

Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences

The stochastic scheduling of precedence-constrained jobs on a heterogeneous processor is a challenging problem that requires solutions with one or more optimized QoS parameters. In this work, an energy-aware stochastic algorithm is proposed to schedule the batch of precedence-constrained jobs on heterogeneous DVFS-enabled processors with the objective of optimizing turnaround time and energy consumption. The processing time of tasks in all jobs and their precedence-constraint times are governed by independent probability distributions. The performance of the proposed stochastic algorithm is compared with SHEFT and ECS based on randomly generated batches of different sizes. The experimental study reveals that the proposed …


Performance Comparison Of Adaptive Digital Predistortion Algorithms Using Adaptation Time For Mobile Wimax Power Amplifier Applications, Ji-Yeon Kim, Jong-Heon Kim Jan 2016

Performance Comparison Of Adaptive Digital Predistortion Algorithms Using Adaptation Time For Mobile Wimax Power Amplifier Applications, Ji-Yeon Kim, Jong-Heon Kim

Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences

In this paper, we propose that adaptation time be considered a parameter for evaluating the performance of digital filter algorithms in adaptive digital predistorted high-power amplifiers. An adaptive predistorted high-power amplifier with an average power of 37.5 dBm was designed and fabricated for mobile worldwide interoperability for microwave access (WiMAX) test signals. For performance comparisons using adaptation time, several effective algorithms (such as the least-mean-squares (LMS), recursive-least-squares (RLS), and affine projection (AP) algorithms) were implemented. According to the experimental results, the RLS and AP algorithms achieved a similar linearity improvement of 11 dBr. However, the AP algorithm had the advantage …

The switching angles related to the SHE are computed via the resultant theory method. Moreover, the study of this inverter is carried out on its equivalent matrix model. 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 …


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 …


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) …

Annealing the devices at polymer's glass transition temperature (T$_{g}$ 60 $^{\circ}$ C), enhanced these values to …


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 …

In the proposed structure, a dynamic reconfiguring method for holons is used to reduce the time of corrective actions in the case of emergencies.


A Switching Inverse Dynamics Controller For Parallel Manipulators Around Drive Singular Configurations, Mustafa Özdemi̇r, Sitki Kemal İder Jan 2016

A Switching Inverse Dynamics Controller For Parallel Manipulators Around Drive Singular Configurations, Mustafa Özdemi̇r, Sitki Kemal İder

Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences

Despite many advantages, parallel manipulators are known to possess drive singularities where the control of one or more degrees of freedom is lost. Around these singular configurations, the required actuator forces grow unbounded. Previous efforts in the literature put forward singularity-consistent trajectory planning and singularity-robust modification of the dynamic equations as a solution to this problem. However, this previous method is applicable only for the open-loop operation of the manipulator, whereas initial configuration errors, external disturbances, and modeling errors should necessarily be taken into account in a closed-loop sense in real-life applications. With this aim, a switching inverse dynamics controller …


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

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

Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences

Image mosaicing is a trendy research area in computer vision in recent years. Instead of images, video frames can be mosaiced to form a larger aggregate. In both cases, merging computations generally depend on the common parts in consecutive images, which are called overlapping regions. The presence of mobile devices with a camera provides higher image and video acquisition; hence video mosaicing techniques can be utilized to digitize and to create high resolution historical document images for later use in browsing and retrieval systems. Here, we present a technique to create high resolution images of historical Ottoman documents from video. …


Time Series Adapted Supervised Fuzzy Discretization: An Application To Ecg Signals, Umut Orhan Jan 2016

Time Series Adapted Supervised Fuzzy Discretization: An Application To Ecg Signals, Umut Orhan

Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences

In this study, a new method called supervised fuzzy discretization (SFD), which can be used without having expertise on data, is proposed for classifying time series datasets. Because an ECG signal has a partially stationary characteristic, its classification process is more difficult than it would be for completely stationary signals. On the other hand, because the method proposed can be used without having expertise on the data, comprehensive data like ECG signals are enough to introduce one such method. To prove the efficacy of the SFD, RR intervals selected from a common ECG database are used in the classification experiments. …


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 …

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 …

Digital Implementation Of A Constant Frequency Hysteresis Controller For Dual Mode Operation Of An Inverter Acting As A Pv-Grid Interface And Statcom, Lenin Prakash, Arutchelvi Meenakshi Sundaram, Kalyanraj Durairaj

Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences

This paper presents a new constant frequency hysteresis current controller for the grid interface of a PV-fed three-phase voltage source inverter (VSI) for a dual mode operation, feeding real power during the daytime and reactive power alone during nights, thereby acting as a STATCOM. The constant frequency is inherently achieved by means of digital implementation in a simplified manner without any complex manipulations to choose a variable band width; rather the hysteresis band varies as a natural consequence of selecting appropriate constant sampling frequency. Analytical proof is presented for the switching frequency to remain constant, without compromising on the performance …

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 …

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 …
