Article Noninvasive Condition Monitoring for Eccentricity Fault Detection in Large Hydro Generators(TÜBİTAK Scientific & Technological Research Council Turkey, 2026-01-16) Lemeski, Atena Tazikeh; Tekgun, Didem; Keysan, Ozan; Leblebicioglu, Kemal; Gol, Murat; Leblebicioglu, Mehmet KemalEccentricity faults in electric machines remain a critical concern, as they generate uneven magnetic forces that increase vibration and noise, ultimately raising the risk of premature motor failure. This study proposes a method for the early detection of dynamic eccentricity (DE) faults in hydropower plants through an advanced optimization-based parameter identification technique integrated with finite element analysis (FEA). Finite element modeling (FEM) is first used to analyze an existing salient-pole synchronous generator (SPSG) from a hydroelectric power plant in T & uuml;rkiye. The effects of DE faults on the SPSG's magnetic equivalent circuit parameters are then examined under various fault severities. A comprehensive hydropower plant model-including the synchronous generator, governor, and excitation system-is developed in MATLAB/Simulink, with all input parameters obtained from real plant data and equivalent circuit variations extracted from FEA. After completing the modeling stage, including fault scenarios, MATLAB and Simulink are employed together to estimate key magnetic equivalent circuit parameters using a modified particle swarm optimization (MPSO) algorithm, achieving highly accurate parameter estimation. Since the hydropower system allows measurement of the three-phase output currents, parameter estimation is performed based on current variations under different fault conditions. The simulation results verify the method's ability to detect faults with high accuracy; thus, this integrated and noninvasive approach provides a robust framework for ensuring the operational reliability and longevity of large hydro generators.Article Modeling and Simulation of Dynamic Energy Management Systems for Smart Buildings(TÜBİTAK, 2025-11-25) Ozel, O.; Rıfat Boynueğrİ, A.; Yigit, H.; Tekgun, B.; Boynuegri, Ali RifatThis study presents a dynamic energy management system tailored for smart residential buildings, integrating thermal and electrical models to achieve both natural gas and electricity bill cost reduction. By harnessing wind and solar energy sources, the system aims to meet the diverse energy needs of modern homes. Through load shifting and thermal storage strategies, known as power-to-heat (P2H) approaches, the system ensures efficient renewable energy utilization while maintaining resident comfort. Validation of the proposed system was conducted using real-world data from the Yıldız Technical University Smart Home Laboratory, demonstrating its practical applicability and effectiveness. Results indicate significant reductions in both natural gas and electricity consumption, leading to substantial cost savings. Specifically, the proposed system reduced natural gas consumption by 3.79% and electricity consumption by 35.62%, highlighting its potential to enhance energy efficiency and sustainability in residential settings. © This work is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International License.Article Optimizing Parameters for Efficient Computation With Fully Homomorphic Encryption Schemes(Tubitak Scientific & Technological Research Council Turkey, 2025-03-21) Karaagac, Cavidan Yakupoglu; Rohloff, Kurt; Yakupoğlu Karaağaç, Cavidan; Yakupoglu, CavidanIn this study, we aim to provide a parameter selection approach for the BFVrns scheme, one of the prominent fully homomorphic encryption (FHE) schemes. Selecting parameters for lattice-based FHE schemes poses a practical challenge for both experts and nonexperts. To solve this problem, we introduce a hybrid approach that combines theoretical approach with experimental analysis. First, we employ regression analysis to examine the impact of parameters on both performance and security. The varying behavior of FHE parameters in terms of performance, security, and ciphertext expansion factor (CEF) makes parameter selection more challenging. To address this issue, we employ a multi-objective optimization algorithm to determine the optimal parameter set for performance, CEF, and security simultaneously. As a result of this optimization, we obtain an improved parameter set that enhances performance at a given security level while ensuring correctness and resistance to lattice-based attacks, maintaining at least 128-bit security. Our results achieve an average similar to 5x reduction in CEF and generally better performance compared to the parameter sets in a previous BFVrns study. Our approach serves as a semi-automated parameter selection method for the PALISADE homomorphic encryption library, a widely recognized FHE library. This study sets a precedent for other FHE libraries.
