Deep Reinforcement Learning For Acceptance Strategy In Bilateral Negotiations, Yousef Razeghi, Celal Ozan Berk Yavuz, Reyhan Aydoğan Jan 2020

Deep Reinforcement Learning For Acceptance Strategy In Bilateral Negotiations, Yousef Razeghi, Celal Ozan Berk Yavuz, Reyhan Aydoğan

Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences

This paper introduces an acceptance strategy based on reinforcement learning for automated bilateral negotiation, where negotiating agents bargain on multiple issues in a variety of negotiation scenarios. Several acceptance strategies based on predefined rules have been introduced in the automated negotiation literature. Those rules mostly rely on some heuristics, which take time and/or utility into account. For some negotiation settings, an acceptance strategy solely based on a negotiation deadline might perform well; however, it might fail in another setting. Instead of following predefined acceptance rules, this paper presents an acceptance strategy that aims to learn whether to accept its opponent's …


Bases Of Polymatroids And Problems On Graphs, Hakan Kutucu Jan 2020

Bases Of Polymatroids And Problems On Graphs, Hakan Kutucu

Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences

In the paper, we present new theorems to show that a Hamiltonian path and circuit on an undirected graph can be formulated in terms of bases of polymatroids or extended polymatroids associated with submodular functions defined on subsets of the node-set of a given graph. In this way, we give a new formulation of the well-known traveling salesman problem including constraints in these terms. The main result in the paper states that using a special base of the polymatroid, a Hamiltonian path on an undirected graph can be solved effectively. Since the determination of a Hamiltonian circuit can be reduced …

Harmonic Reduction Of Svc With System Integrated Apf, Yan Xuhui, Wang Feng, Mahmood Ul Hassan, Muhammad Humayun

Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences

Static var compensators (svcs) are widely used to compensate for reactive power in a system. The hybrid active power filter (hapf) in combination with svc has extensively been studied in the literature to reduce harmonics generated by the svc. This study proposes a new topology of svc for three-phase systems based on a three-phase thyristor-control reactor (tcr). The harmonics generated by the tcr are minimized by an active power filter (apf), which can be realized by a reduced resonant capacitor size. A control strategy comprising feedback and feedforward control is employed to achieve good harmonic reduction and fast transient response. …

Dynamic Optimal Management Of A Hybrid Microgrid Based On Weather Forecasts, Hamadi Bouaicha, Emily Craparo, Habib Dallagi, Samir Nejim

Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences

Hybrid microgrids containing both renewable and conventional power sources are becoming increasingly attractive for a variety of reasons. However, intermittency of renewable power production and uncertainty in future load prediction increase risks of electric grid instability and, by consequence, restrict the portion of renewable power production in microgrids. In order, to prefigure the upcoming renewable power production, particularly, wind power and photovoltaic power, we suggest using weather forecasts. In addition to illustrating short term renewable power prediction based on ensemble weather forecasts, this paper focuses on optimizing the management of distributed power generation, power storage, and power exchange with the …


The Quantum Version Of The Shifted Power Method And Its Application Inquadratic Binary Optimization, Ammar Daşkin Jan 2020

The Quantum Version Of The Shifted Power Method And Its Application Inquadratic Binary Optimization, Ammar Daşkin

Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences

In this paper, we present a direct quantum adaptation of the classical shifted power method. The method is very similar to the iterative phase estimation algorithm; however, it does not require any initial estimate of an eigenvector, and as in the classical case its convergence and the required number of iterations are directly related to the eigengap. If the amount of the gap is in the order of $1/poly(n)$, then the algorithm can converge to the dominant eigenvalue in $O(poly(n))$ time. The method can be potentially used for solving any eigenvalue related problem and finding minimum/maximum of a data set …

Controlling A Launch Vehicle At Exoatmospheric Flight Conditions Via Adaptivecontrol Allocation, Yildiray Yildiz Jan 2020

Controlling A Launch Vehicle At Exoatmospheric Flight Conditions Via Adaptivecontrol Allocation, Yildiray Yildiz

Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences

The focus of this paper is the control of a reusable launch vehicle at exoatmospheric flight conditions, in the presence of actuator effectiveness uncertainty. Since during exoatmospheric flight, dynamic pressure is nonexistent, aerodynamic control surfaces cannot be used. Under these conditions, reaction control jet actuators can provide the necessary thrust to control the vehicle. Reaction control jets have only 2 states, namely, on and off, and continuous control inputs can be implemented with the help of pulse width modulation, which is also employed in this paper. A continuous controller is designed in the outer loop and a control allocator is …

However, high electromagnetic torque ripple and current overshoots occur in commutation times, which are significant problems of those strategies such as for hysteresis current controllers. This paper proposes a model predictive strategy to solve the above issues. It is simple and straightforward. Moreover, it reduces the motor torque ripple significantly and improves the response rate of the control system to the load torque variation in comparison with the conventional technique. The torque varies smoothly, and the performance of the system at commutation time is improved by eliminating the …

An Electrothermal Current Prediction Method For Overload Protection Of Miniaturecircuit Breakers, Sen Lyu, Ming Zong Jan 2020

An Electrothermal Current Prediction Method For Overload Protection Of Miniaturecircuit Breakers, Sen Lyu, Ming Zong

Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences

Traditional miniature circuit breakers (MCBs) cannot meet the requirement for the intelligence of distributing apparatuses in a smart grid. The intellectualization of MCBs is restricted due to the lack of appropriate current measurement methods. Thus, an electrothermal current prediction method is proposed based on the derived relationship between root-mean-square (RMS) current and steady-state temperature rise. A fast acquisition algorithm is used to obtain the required temperature rise before thermal equilibrium to highly reduce the total time consumption. The presented prediction method is found immunized against the ambient temperature. The theory is validated with experiments using a thermostat. The tested steady-state …


Reducing Computational Complexity In Fingerprint Matching, Mubeen Sabir, Tariq Mahmood Khan, Munazza Arshad, Sana Munawar Jan 2020

Reducing Computational Complexity In Fingerprint Matching, Mubeen Sabir, Tariq Mahmood Khan, Munazza Arshad, Sana Munawar

Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences

The performance of cross-correlation functions can decrease computational complexity under optimal fingerprint feature selection. In this paper, a technique is proposed to perform alignment of fingerprints followed by their matching in fewer computations. Minutiae points are extracted and alignment is performed on the basis of their spatial locations and orientation fields. Unlike traditional cross-correlation based matching algorithms, ridges are not included in the matching process to avoid redundant computations. However, optimal cross-correlation is chosen by correlating feature vectors accompanying x-y locations of minutiae points and their aligned orientation fields. As a result, matching time is significantly reduced with much improved …

Revised Polyhedral Conic Functions Algorithm For Supervised Classification, Gürhan Ceylan, Gürkan Öztürk

Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences

In supervised classification, obtaining nonlinear separating functions from an algorithm is crucial for prediction accuracy. This paper analyzes the polyhedral conic functions (PCF) algorithm that generates nonlinear separating functions by only solving simple subproblems. Then, a revised version of the algorithm is developed that achieves better generalization and fast training while maintaining the simplicity and high prediction accuracy of the original PCF algorithm. This is accomplished by making the following modifications to the subproblem: extension of the objective function with a regularization term, relaxation of a hard constraint set and introduction of a new error term. Experimental results show that …

Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences

Network reconfiguration is a process to change the open-switches in distribution system for a minimum power loss. In the past, metaheuristic techniques were applied widely for network reconfiguration with consideration of a fixed loading profile. When the loading changes, the current configuration may not be the optimal one. Thus, the technique needs to be executed to find a new optimal configuration based on the latest loading. The process is time-consuming since metaheuristic techniques commonly require high computational times and produces inconsistent results. Therefore, this paper proposes a network reconfiguration technique based on artificial neural network (ANN) for variable loading conditions. …
