Probabilistic Small-Signal Stability Analysis Of Power System With Solar Farm Integration, Samundra Gurung, Sumate Naetiladdanon, Anawach Sangswang

Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences

Currently, large-scale solar farms are being rapidly integrated in electrical grids all over the world. However, the photovoltaic (PV) output power is highly intermittent in nature and can also be correlated with other solar farms located at different places. Moreover, the increasing PV penetration also results in large solar forecast error and its impact on power system stability should be estimated. The effects of these quantities on small-signal stability are difficult to quantify using deterministic techniques but can be conveniently estimated using probabilistic methods. For this purpose, the authors have developed a method of probabilistic analysis based on combined cumulant …

A Hybrid Single-Source Shortest Path Algorithm, Hi̇lal Arslan, Murat Manguoğlu

Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences

The single-source shortest path problem arises in many applications, such as roads, social applications, and computer networks. Finding the shortest path is challenging, especially for graphs that contain a large number of vertices and edges. In this work, we propose a novel hybrid method that first sparsifies a given graph by removing most edges that cannot form the shortest path tree and then applies a classical shortest path algorithm to the sparser graph. Removing all the edges that cannot form the shortest path tree would be expensive since it is equivalent to solving the original problem. Therefore, we propose an …

Modified Self-Adaptive Local Search Algorithm For A Biobjective Permutation Flowshop Scheduling Problem, Çi̇ğdem Alabaş Uslu, Berna Dengi̇z, Canan Ağlan, İhsan Sabuncuoğlu

Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences

Interest in multiobjective permutation flow shop scheduling (PFSS) has increased in the last decade to ensure effective resource utilization. This study presents a modified self-adaptive local search (MSALS) algorithm for the biobjective permutation flow shop scheduling problem where both makespan and total flow time objectives are minimized. Compared to existing sophisticated heuristic algorithms, MSALS is quite simple to apply to different biobjective PFSS instances without requiring effort or time for parameter tuning. Computational experiments showed that MSALS is either superior to current heuristics for Pareto sets or is incomparable due to other performance indicators of multiobjective problems.

It is helpful for simulation designers if they can analyze and verify that a simulation will always meet its timing requirements without unnecessarily sacrificing functional accuracy. Abstracting the simulated processes simply as software tasks allows us to transform the problem of verifying timeliness into a schedulability analysis problem where tasks are checked as to whether they are schedulable under the timing constraints or not. In this paper we extend a timed automaton-based framework due to Fersman and Yi for …

Parallel Brute-Force Algorithm For Deriving Reset Sequences From Deterministic Incomplete Finite Automata, Uraz Cengi̇z Türker Jan 2019

Parallel Brute-Force Algorithm For Deriving Reset Sequences From Deterministic Incomplete Finite Automata, Uraz Cengi̇z Türker

Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences

A reset sequence (RS) for a deterministic finite automaton $\mathscr{A}$ is an input sequence that brings $\mathscr{A}$ to a particular state regardless of the initial state of $\mathscr{A}$. Incomplete finite automata (FA) are strong in modeling reactive systems, but despite their importance, there are no works published for deriving RSs from FA. This paper proposes a massively parallel algorithm to derive short RSs from FA. Experimental results reveal that the proposed parallel algorithm can construct RSs from FA with 16,000,000 states. When multiple GPUs are added to the system the approach can handle larger FA.

Fast Nonsingular Terminal Decoupled Sliding-Mode Control Utilizing Time-Varying Sliding Surfaces, Ferhun Yorgancioğlu, Soydan Redif

Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences

In this paper, a fast form of nonsingular, terminal, decoupled, sliding-mode control, which utilizes time-varying sliding surfaces, is proposed for a class of fourth-order, single-input, multioutput, nonlinear systems. The novel control law features a fast term, in the manner of fast terminal sliding-mode control, which markedly improves the finite-time sliding-mode convergence speed near zero. Numerical simulation results, which are illustrated with a cart-pole inverted pendulum system and a ball-beam system, demonstrate that the proposed control law achieves, in general, favorable transient response and lower steady-state errors compared to state-of-the-art decoupled terminal sliding-mode control methods.
