    Design of a Novel Converter Between Li-Ion Battery and Supercapacitor To Feed Synthetic Aperture Radar Loads for Satellite Applications
    (int Journal Renewable Energy Research, 2020) Tulay, Gencer; İskender, İres; Iskender, Ires; Elektrik-Elektronik Mühendisliği
    For satellite applications the active duty life of a satellite depends mainly on the battery lifespan. The charging or discharging current has an important role in useful life of batteries. For this purpose, the converters used in power supplies including batteries should be accurately designed such that the large current of batteries can be prevented. The power converter proposed in this paper is used to transfer energy from battery to supercapacitor when SAR (Synthetic Aperture Radar) load is active. Accordingly, the lifespan of battery and hence the lifespan of satellite will be extended. Parallel to preventing the large discharging current of batteries the proposed converter has another important property such that it is able to vary the input voltage without having any stability problems. The operating performance of the converter that is composed of Weinberg and Buck converters is analyzed using PSpice software and the results of simulations are verified through experiments. The results show that how well the converter operates satisfying the conditions required for satellite applications.

    A Novel Method To Solve 2nd Order Neumann Type Boundary Value Problems in Electrostatics
    (Applied Computational Electromagnetics Soc, 2017) Sener, Goker; Şener, Göker; Elektrik-Elektronik Mühendisliği
    In this paper, the numerical method of nonpolynomial spline approximation is used to solve 2nd order Neumann type boundary value problems (bvp's) in electrostatics. This new approach provides more accurate results than the polynomial approximations and the spectral methods. The literature contains very little on the solution of Neumann type bvp's because of the fact that a unique solution does not exist for all problems. In electrostatics, Neumann type bvp's are encountered for finding the electrostatic potential inside closed surfaces where the normal derivative of the electric potential is specified everywhere on the surface. Two examples are presented to prove the accuracy of the proposed method. In these examples, the governing differential equation is solved to find the electrostatic potential inside a region bounded by conductors that are maintained at constant voltages. The results are compared with the analytic solutions.

    Grid Connected Three-Phase Boost-Inverter for Solar Pv Systems
    (int Journal Renewable Energy Research, 2021) Demirkutlu, Eyyup; İskender, İres; Iskender, Ires; Elektrik-Elektronik Mühendisliği
    This paper presents a transformerless grid-connected three-phase boost-type inverter derived from the Swiss Rectifier (SR) and can be used in solar systems. The proposed boost-inverter retains the great advantages of the Swiss rectifier. Since the number of switches that are instantly switched with high frequency is only two, the switching losses are very low, therefore the proposed boost-inverter is very advantageous in terms of efficiency. Without having large transformer and electrolytic bus capacitors, the boost-inverter has an advantage in terms of size and weight. The switching states of the topology are given in detail. The operation principle of the boost-inverter is described with the help of equivalent circuits. A cascaded control method including current and voltage loops is designed. Simulation results are presented to validate the operation of the boost-inverter and show quality performance of the designed control approach.

    Case Study on Thermal Optimization of Oil Immersed Transformer Used in Solar Power Plant Based on Genetic Algorithm and Computational Fluid Dynamics
    (Vinca inst Nuclear Sci, 2023) Iskender, Ires; Yukselen, Emir
    Transformers are one of the most capital investments in the solar power generation. Their safe and stable operations in the electrical networks are important. The main failure factor of transformers is the high temperature generated by the losses during operation, which increases the probability of insulation damage that significantly affects the useful life of transformer. Considering the importance of oil temperature and its effects on the life of the transformer, a numerical method is developed in this paper to optimize the cooling system of the transformer. In this regard, genetic algorithm is used as an optimization method to minimize the total cost of the cooling system while maintaining the required thermal conditions of the transformer. A comprehensive parametric study is carried out among the effective cooling geometry parameters using 3-D electromagnetic and thermal models of the photovoltaic transformer to evaluate and analyze the temperature distribution. The accuracy and feasibility of the proposed method is established by comparing the numerical results with those obtained from the experimental test. The results of the proposed method are found to be in a good agreement with the experimental and simulation results.

    Antenna Synthesis by Levin's Method Using Reproducing Kernel Functions
    (Applied Computational Electromagnetics Soc, 2023) Sener, Goker
    An antenna synthesis application is presented by solving a highly oscillatory Fourier integral using a stable and accurate Levin's algorithm. In antenna synthesis, the current distribution is obtained by the inverse Fourier integral of the antenna radiation pattern. Since this integral is highly oscillatory, the Levin method can be used for its solution. However, when the number of nodes or the frequency increases, the Levin method becomes unstable and ineffective due to the large condition number of the interpolation matrix. Thus, an improved scheme of the method is used in an antenna synthesis application in which reproducing kernel functions are used as the basis of the approximation function. The accuracy of the new method is verified by a log-periodic antenna example. The error and stability analysis results show that the new method is more stable and accurate than other well-known kernels, especially for a large number of nodes.

    (2021) İskender, İres; Kül, Seda; Celtek, Seyit Alperen
    Transformatörler, elektrik enerjisinin verimli iletimi ve dağıtımına önemli katkı sağlayan unsurlar olarak kabul edilir. Gerilim ve akım seviyelerini ters orantılı olarak değiştirme yeteneği, iletken kayıplarının azaltılmasına yardımcı olur. Bununla birlikte, günümüzün daha önemli verimlilik işaretlerine yönelik katı gereksinimleri, bir güç sistemindeki bireysel bileşenlerin verimliliğine dikkat çekiyor. Bu nedenle, temel işlevlerinden ödün vermeden transformatörlerin verimliliğini en üst düzeye çıkarmak için büyük çaba sarf edilmektedir. Bu karmaşık bir sorundur ve gelişmiş tasarım araçlarının kullanılmasını gerektirir. Son yıllarda geliştirilen meta-sezgisel yöntemler, tasarım süresinde tasarruf ve optimum çözümü bulmada büyük başarı sağladıklarından elektrik mühendisliğinde kullanılmaktadır. Bu çalışmada sırasıyla Parçacık Sürü Optimizasyonu (PSO), Benzetimli Tavlama (SA) ve Ağaç Tohum Algoritması (TSA) yöntemlerini kullandık. Amaç, üç fazlı kuru tip transformatörler için bir tasarım metodolojisi geliştirmek ve verimliliklerini en üst düzeye çıkarmaktır. Üç algoritmanın sonuçları, optimum çözümü doğrulamak için karşılaştırılır. Prosessin gösterimi için üç fazlı 100 kVA kuru tip bir transformatör kullanılır. Transformatörün matematiksel modeli oluşturulduktan sonra transformatör parametreleri, akım yoğunluğu (s) ve transformatör demir kesiti kabul edilebilirliği (C) optimize edilmiştir. Sonuç olarak, transformatörlerin verimlerinin geleneksel tekniklerle elde edilenin üzerinde artırılabileceği gözlemlenmiştir. Verimlilik optimize edilmiş ve 0.975'ten 0.9844'e yükseltilmiştir.

    Laser Array Field Correlations in Underwater Turbulence
    (Taylor & Francis Ltd, 2022) Gokce, Muhsin C.; Baykal, Yahya; Ata, Yalcin
    In underwater turbulent medium, field correlations are found when the incidence is a laser beam array. Variations of the field correlations against the variations in the ring radius of laser array beam, number of beamlets composing the laser array, source size, underwater turbulence parameters, i.e. the ratio of temperature to salinity contributions to the refractive index spectrum, rate of dissipation of mean-squared temperature and rate of dissipation of kinetic energy per unit mass of fluid, are investigated. Field correlations of laser arrays are found to be larger than the field correlations of the single beams. The effect of underwater turbulence is to reduce the field correlation of laser arrays.

    Calculation of the Spin-Lattice Relaxation Time and the Activation Energy Near the Iv-Iii Phase Transition in Pyridinium Fluorosulfonate (C5nh6)fso3
    (Taylor & Francis Ltd, 2022) Kara, N.; Kiraci, A.; Yurtseven, Hamit
    The spin-lattice relaxation time T-1(H) for protons nuclei is calculated in term of the pseudospin-phonon (PS) coupled and the energy fluctuation (EF) models close to the IV-III solid-solid phase transition of T-C = 235 K in (C5NH6)FSO3. This calculation was performed by associating the observed second moment of the H-1 as the order parameter below k and the disorder parameter above T-C. Values of the activation energy for the cation reorientation in this crystal are also deduced by using both models. In addition, the observed dielectric permittivity of this crystal is analyzed within the framework of the Landau theory and values of the spontaneous polarization (P-s) are determined as a function of temperature. The normalized values of P-s are used in the PS and EF models to extract the activation energy for the reorientation of the dipole moment of this compound arising from cation-anion interaction. Our results show that the PS and EF models can describe the observed behavior of the spin-lattice relaxation time adequately for the IV-III solid-solid transition in (C5NH6)FSO3.

    Antenna Synthesis by Levin's Method Using a Novel Optimization Algorithm for Knot Placement
    (Applied Computational Electromagnetics Soc, 2023) Sener, Goker
    - Antenna synthesis refers to determining the antenna current distribution by evaluating the inverse Fourier integral of its radiation pattern. Since this inte-gral is highly oscillatory, Levin's method can be used for the solution, providing high accuracy. In Levin's method, the integration domain is divided into equally spaced sub-intervals, and the integrals are solved by transfer-ring them into differential equations. This article uses a new optimization algorithm to determine the location of these interval points (knots) to improve the method's accuracy. Two different antenna design examples are pre-sented to validate the accuracy and efficiency of the pro-posed method for antenna synthesis applications.

    Intensity Correlation of Collimated Gaussian Beams Propagating in Biological Tissues
    (Taylor & Francis Ltd, 2021) Baykal, Yahya
    Intensity correlations in turbulent biological tissues are evaluated when collimated Gaussian laser beam is used. Variations of the intensity correlations in biological tissues are investigated versus the diagonal distance from the origin of the observation plane for various tissue distances, biological tissue types, strength coefficients of the refractive-index fluctuations, starting points at the observation plane. Also, intensity correlations in biological tissues for various biological tissue types versus the strength coefficient of the refractive-index fluctuations, small length-scale factor, fractal dimension. It is found that intensity correlations become smaller at larger diagonal distance, tissue distance, strength coefficients of the refractive-index fluctuations, and at smaller source size, small length-scale factor and fractal dimensions. Behaviour of the intensity correlations is found to depend on the type of the biological tissue. Our results can be used in tissue identification and to find the disorders in biological tissues.
