Conference Object In-Pipe Electrical Machine Design for Smart Clean Water Grid Monitoring and Control Stations(IEEE, 2025-06-11) Erkan, Murat; Boynuegri, Ali Rifat; Tekgun, BurakThis study presents the design of an electric machine intended to supply the electrical energy required for the operation of electronic devices and mechanical equipment that form part of a clean water smart grid network powered by renewable energy sources. The proposed machine is a permanent magnet synchronous generator (PMSG), specifically designed to operate under realistic physical and hydraulic conditions within clean water distribution infrastructure. The in-pipe turbine responsible for driving the rotor of the generator was selected based on findings from a symposium paper identified through a comprehensive literature review. The daily energy requirements of the smart grid's electronic and industrial mechanical components were both theoretically estimated and experimentally validated, leading to the selection of a suitable energy storage unit. Pressure data from the clean water distribution line located on the street of the design office was measured and recorded at one second intervals over a 24-hour period. Using this dataset, the optimal hydraulic conditions and time frame for battery charging were identified from the pressure-time profile. A representative duty cycle was then defined, and the performance analysis of the in-pipe permanent magnet synchronous generator was carried out accordingly.Conference Object Citation - Scopus: 1A Dithered Carrier Level Shifted Sine Pulse Width Modulation Technique for EMI Reduction in Cascaded H-Bridge Multi-Level Inverters(IEEE, 2025-06-11) Unal, Semih; Tekgun, BurakGrowing utilization of high-power equipment, particularly in renewable energy systems and electric vehicle applications, has increased the popularity of multi-level inverters (MLI), owing to their capacity to produce high-fidelity sine wave output, compactness, and readily modifiable control devices. Electromagnetic Interference (EMI) is a prevalent problem associated with MLI topologies. Passive EMI filters can easily eliminate this problem. Still, the bulky components used inside these filters lead to a rise in the system's overall size, weight, and production cost. This work presents a novel modulation technique called dithered carrier level shifted sine pulse width modulation (DCLS-SPWM) with the target of reducing electromagnetic interference in cascaded H-bridge multi-level inverters (CHB-MLIs). This method reduces EMI by diffusing harmonics, typically concentrated in lower frequency bands, into higher stages. In the case of DCLS-SPWM, the carrier signal frequency is dithered over a time interval while maintaining the same overall number of switching events. This destabilizes the steady-state conditions intrinsic to the modulation, resulting in a more uniform harmonic distribution. In this study, a 9-level CHB-MLI simulation is built using MATLAB-Simulink, where each module receives a 100V DC input. The efficacy of the proposed DCLS-SPWM method on harmonic reduction is analyzed and validated.
