Waveform Correlation Based Harmonic Voltage Contribution Determination of Iron and Steel Plants Supplied From PCC

Özgül SALOR-DURNA

In this research work, a new method which determines the individual harmonic voltage contributions of the EAF plants supplied from a point of common coupling (PCC) to the PCC voltage is presented. EAFs are one of the most significant sources of the harmonics, especially the uncharacteristic ones, therefore it is important to be able to discriminate the amount of individual contributions from the feeders of a PCC supplying multiple EAFs. The proposed method uses the relationship derived between the correlation coefficient of the PCC voltage and the feeder current waveforms and the harmonic volt ...Daha fazlası

On the R -compactification of uniform spaces

As it is well known, there are various constructions of the R-compactification (Hewitt real compactification) of a uniform space [13], [15]. In this work we propose a new construction of the R-compactification (Hewitt real compactification) of a uniform space. Keyword: A0-boundedness; R-compactification; R-completeness.; R-extension

Machine learning enabled the design of compact and efficient wavelength demultiplexing photonic devices

Mirbek TURDUEV

In this paper, we introduce the design approach of integrated photonic devices by employing reinforcement learning known as attractor selection (AttSel). Here, we combined 3D FDTD with AttSel algorithm, which is based on artificial neural networks, to achieve ultra-compact and highly efficient wavelength demultiplexers with low crosstalk such as. The presented devices consist of SOI materials, which are compatible with complementary MOS technology. Consequently, the reinforcement learning is successfully applied to design smaller and superior integrated photonic devices. Keyword: inverse desig ...Daha fazlası

Optimal Design of Omni-directional Optical Cloaking by Annular Sectorized Unit-cells

Mirbek TURDUEV

In this manuscript, we demonstrate the design and experimental proof of an optical cloaking structure which multi-directionally conceals a perfectly electric conductor (PEC) object from an incident plane wave. The dielectric modulation around the highly reflective scattering PEC object is determined by an optimization process for multi-directional cloaking purposes.

On the Solvability of a Boundary Value Problem for Nonlinear Optimization of Oscillatory Processes

Elmira ABDILDAYEVA

The paper investigates the solvability of a boundary value problem in the control of an oscillatory process described by control in partial derivatives of the first order. It has been established that there are an infinite set of controls, as solutions to the system of nonlinear Fredholm integral equations of the first kind, each of which transfers the controlled process from the initial state to the final specified state in a specified time. Sufficient conditions for the existence of a nonlinear optimization solution are found.

Investigation of Battery Energy Storage Utilization Strategies for Reducing the Unscheduled Power Flows in the Interconnection Lines Caused by Multiple Electric Arc Furnace Operations

Özgül SALOR-DURNA

In this paper, utilization strategies for battery energy storage systems (BESS) are assessed in order to reduce the unscheduled power flows in the interconnection lines caused by multiple electric arc furnace operations in Turkey. Turkish electricity network is synchronously connected to the European Network of Transmission System Operators for Electricity (ENTSO-E) via 3 EHV transmission lines. Extensive amount of intermittent loads like electric arc furnaces (EAF) in the electricity network cause unscheduled power deviations at the intertie lines hence Area Control Error (ACE) performance de ...Daha fazlası

An Electric Arc Furnace Model Based on Resynthesis Using Frequency Spectrum Distributions of EAF Currents

Özgül SALOR-DURNA

The research work presented in this paper proposes a method for modeling the behavior of the Electric Arc Furnace (EAF) currents for a tap-to-tap time based on the DFT amplitude histograms of the EAF current waves. The method is used to model the EAF current behavior separately for each phase of the EAF operation: boring, melting and refining. The model is verified by comparing the THD histograms and the flicker measurements of the original and modeled EAF current waveforms. The proposed model can be used as an EAF model in the simulation environment for various purposes before the installatio ...Daha fazlası

A novel sensitive Cu(II) and Cd(II) nanosensor platform: Graphene oxide terminated p-aminophenyl modified glassy carbon surface

Ali Osman SOLAK

Graphene oxide (GO) based glassy carbon (GC) electrode has been prepared. Firstly, p-nitrophenyl (NP) modified GC (NP/GC) electrode was prepared via the electrochemical reduction of its tetraflouroborate diazonium salt. After the formation of NP/GC electrode, the negative potential was applied to NP/GC electrode to reduce the nitro groups to amine. p-Aminophenyl (AP) modified GC (AP/GC) electrode was immersed into a graphene oxide solution containing 1-ethyl-3(3-(dimethlyamino)propyl)-carbodiimide. Hence, we constructed GO terminated AP modified GC (GO/AP/GC) electrode. NP/GC, AP/GC and GO/AP/ ...Daha fazlası

Cadmium-induced physiological and genotoxic alterations in Bryophyllum daigremontianum

Zeki SEVEROĞLU

When evaluating the negative impacts of heavy metals in the environment, plants can be used as biological indicators in assessing damage done by bio-accumulation of heavy metals. For detecting the genotoxic effects of heavy metals, the RAPD-PCR technique is applied in plants. In this study, Blyophyllum daigremontianum was used as a bio-indicator for Cadmium (Cd) pollution. B. daigremontianum plantlets were obtained from bulbiliferous spurs. They were grown singly in standard pots and each of the experimental groups of 5 replicates were watered daily with Hoagland solution (20 ml) containing 0, ...Daha fazlası

The new food safety system is progressively setting up, but there are a number of problems that holds back the implementation of new approaches to the assurance of food safety. These problems are mainly related to the underdeveloped national economy and poor socio-economic status of the pop ...Daha fazlası

Application of modified atmosphere packaging with new concepts for respiring foods

Zehra AYHAN

Modified atmosphere packaging (MAP) is a shelf-life enhancing method which is growing rapidly on an international scale. The correct gas mixture and film in MAP can maintain high quality with extended shelf life. However, the initial gas composition in the package headspace often changes as a result of the activity of the respiring product, the nature of the package, or the environmental conditions. In the new MAP era, it is necessary to show that MAP does not only deal with gas mixtures and films. The new thought is to incorporate new packaging concepts such as active and intelligent packagin ...Daha fazlası

Method of spherical harmonic series in the problem of minimization of atmosphere pollution by fractions of harmful admixtures

Ramiz RAFATOV

The problem of minimization of atmosphere pollution by fractions of harmful admixtures is studied. It is supposed that a controlled object is described by non-stationary integral–differential transfer equation with special boundary conditions and control parameters, which are included in the right part of equation as delta-functions. Minimized integral quadratic functional characterizes energy expenditure for control and depends on the average squared deflection of fraction concentration from the desired final state. Optimal conditions are obtained with the help of Pontryagin’s maximum princip ...Daha fazlası
