Article Enhancing Mode Transition Dynamics in Non-Inverting Buck-Boost Inverters for PV Systems(Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc., 2026) Keskinkilic, E.; Tekgun, B.Quasi-single-stage inverters (QSSIs) are notable for their simple structure and bidirectional operation capability in applications such as photovoltaic (PV) systems. Among these QSSI, the non-inverting buck-boost inverter (NIBBI) or four-switch buck-boost inverter (FSBBI) is often preferred due to its ability to perform both step-down and step-up operations. However, when traditional control is used, achieving a smooth transition and efficient conversion becomes challenging as the output voltage approaches the input voltage. The pulse width ratio limitations and non-idealities of active and passive components are the cause of this. In this paper, a comparative analysis of the mode transition techniques in FSBBI is presented using methods available for DC/DC converters. System efficiency and output voltage signal quality are selected as performance metrics. A 2-kW FSBBI is installed and controlled using single, two, modified two, three, and four-mode techniques. Simulation and experimental studies were conducted to validate the results. Based on these studies, the four-mode control technique was observed to be the most effective in eliminating dead zone effects, reducing total harmonic distortion (THD), and achieving the highest system efficiency in a PV system where a battery powers the AC load. Experimental results indicate that the four-mode modulation attained an efficiency of 95.49% with a THD of 2.97%. © 1986-2012 IEEE.Conference Object Citation - WoS: 1Citation - Scopus: 8Short Term Electricity Load Forecasting: A Case Study of Electric Utility Market in Turkey(Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc., 2015-04) Ishik, Muhammed Yasin; Göze, Tolga; Ozcan, Ihsan; Güngör, Vehbi Çağrı; Aydin, Zafer; Yasin, MuhammedWith the recent developments in energy sector, the pricing of electricity is now governed by the spot market where a variety of market mechanisms are effective. After the new legislation of market liberalization in Turkey, competition-based on hourly price has received a growing interest in the energy market, which necessitated generators and electric utility companies to add new dimensions to their scope of operation: short-term load and price forecasting. The field has several opportunities though not free from challenges. The dynamic behavior of the market price has caused the electric load to become variable and non-stationary. Furthermore, the number of nodes, in which the load must be predicted, is not constant anymore and can no longer be estimated by experts alone. In this competitive scenario, statistical forecasting methods that can automatically and accurately process thousands of data samples are essential. The purpose of this study is to demonstrate the importance of short-term load forecasting, how it has received a growing interest in Turkey and to propose an artificial neural network that can forecast the short term electricity load. Through detailed performance evaluations, we demonstrate that our forecasting method is capable of predicting the hourly load accurately. © 2017 Elsevier B.V., All rights reserved.Conference Object Citation - WoS: 3Citation - Scopus: 4Seamless Mobile Data Offloading in Heterogeneous Wireless Networks Based on IEEE 802.21 and User Experience(Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc., 2014-04) Tüzünkan, Firat A.; Güngör, Vehbi Çağrı; Zeydan, Engin; Ileri, Ömer; Ergüt, SalihThe increase on smartphone usage has brought the burden of data traffic with it. Operators are looking for cost-effective solutions to overcome the problem of 3G infrastructure for high contention traffic scenarios. Several schemes were offered to save the moment, and they brought some extra costs including deploying femtocell or WiMax, LTE, LTE-Advanced systems along with their expensive equipment. On the other hand, operators are expanding their networks with 802.11 technologies such that they can exploit the free-band communication. Meaning the data traffic can handover between WLAN and UMTS interchangeably. By using NS-2 simulator, we implemented IEEE 802.21 WG's Media Independent Handover (MIH) module by combining with Channel Quality Indicator (CQI) values collected from user equipment (UE) and observed a recovered throughput for both medium. We found that there is a tradeoff among energy efficiency, delay tolerance and cost. Furthermore, in this study, we integrated a Quality of Experience (QoE) metric during real-time handover decision process so that with this type of collaborative solution, an operator will be unique in terms of user happiness and heterogeneous network management. © 2021 Elsevier B.V., All rights reserved.Article Citation - WoS: 23Citation - Scopus: 26Optimal Location and Sizing of Electric Bus Battery Swapping Station in Microgrid Systems by Considering Revenue Maximization(IEEE-Inst Electrical Electronics Engineers Inc, 2023) Kocer, Mustafa Cagatay; Onen, Ahmet; Jung, Jaesung; Gultekin, Hakan; Albayrak, SahinThe radical increase in the popularity of electric vehicles (EVs) has in turn increased the number of associated problems. Long waiting times at charging stations are a major barrier to the widespread adoption of EVs. Therefore, battery swapping stations (BSSs) are an efficient solution that considers short waiting times and healthy recharging cycles for battery systems. Moreover, swapping stations have emerged as a great opportunity not only for EVs, but also for power systems, with regulation services that can be provided to the grid particularly for small networks, such as microgrid (MG) systems. In this study, the optimum location and size that maximize the revenue of a swap station in an MG system are investigated. To the best of our knowledge, this study is first to solve the placing and sizing problem in the MG from the perspective of a BSS. The results indicate that bus 23 is the BSS's optimal location and is crucial for maximizing revenue and addressing issues like the provision of ancillary services in microgrid system. Finally, the swap demand profile of the station serving electric bus public transportation system was obtained using an analytical model based on public transportation data collected in Berlin, Germany.Conference Object Citation - Scopus: 1Is the Smart Grid a Good Investment(Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc., 2015-04) Onen, Ahmet; Broadwater, Robert P.Electric distribution design and operational goals include meeting customer reliability requirements at the lowest cost. Smart Grid investments have the potential for helping meet these goals, and this paper presents a series of analyses that evaluate the incremental economic benefits of smart grid automation investments. Smart Grid investments provide a number of benefits to customers. Here only benefits that can be objectively quantified in terms of economic savings are considered. Smart Grid automation investments in this work include investments in feeder efficiency, automated switches, and coordinated control of capacitor banks, voltage regulators and load tab changers. Benefits that come from these investments are improved efficiency, reduced demand, shortened storm restoration time, and improved performance during reconfiguration events. The analyses used in the evaluation are very detailed, involving hourly, quasi-steady state power flow analysis over a ten year period for calculating energy consumption and costs, and Monte Carlo simulations for six different storm types. The evaluation shows that similar to other industries, an investment in automation can be justified in terms of hard dollars. © 2017 Elsevier B.V., All rights reserved.Conference Object Efficiency and Cost Evaluation of Distribution Systems Based on Multiple Time Points(Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc., 2015-07) Onen, AhmetPhase balancing can offer planning engineers a lowcost means of reducing operating costs, improving efficiency in electric power systems. In general, utilities make phase balancing based on peak load by thinking that is the worst case scenario, but every time is not the case. In this paper, time varying phase balancing algorithm is proposed to investigate the effect of hourly phase balancing for all year (8760 hour for a year) and also evaluate system efficiency and cost saving for all hours. Additionally, it is important for the planning engineers to estimate losses accurately to make phase moves, and the peak load does not always provide the most efficient phase moves among the hours in year. In this paper, there different scenarios will be compared; base case, phase balancing based on peak load, and hourly time varying phase balancing. These scenarios will be compared based on loss reduction, and cost saving with Locational Marginal Price (LMP) to provide the planning engineers ideas about effective power system planning. © 2017 Elsevier B.V., All rights reserved.Article Citation - WoS: 21Citation - Scopus: 27Blockchain-Based Energy Applications: The DSO Perspective(IEEE-Inst Electrical Electronics Engineers Inc, 2021) Yagmur, Ahmet; Dedeturk, Beyhan Adanur; Soran, Ahmet; Jung, Jaesung; Onen, AhmetThis paper discusses blockchain-based energy applications from the distribution system operator (DSO) perspective. Blockchain has a potential impact on newly emergent actors, such as electric vehicles (EVs) and the charging facility units (CFUs) of the electricity grid. Although Blockchain offers magnificent decentralized solutions, the central management of DSOs still plays a significant, non-negligible role, owing to the reality of the existing grid structure. Numerous related studies of proposed blockchain-based EV systems have investigated the energy costs of EVs, fast and efficient charging, privacy and security, P2P energy trading, sharing economy, the selection of appropriate CFUs location, and scheduling. However, cooperation with DSO organizations has not been adequately addressed. Blockchain-based solutions mainly suggest an entirely distributed and decentralized approach for energy trading; however, converting the entire power system infrastructure is considerably expensive. Building a thoroughly decentralized electricity network in a short time is nearly impossible, particularly at the national grid level. In this regard, the applicability of the solutions is as significant as their appropriateness, especially from the DSO perspective, and must be examined closely. We searched and analyzed the blockchain literature related to EVs, CFUs, DERs, microgrids, marketing, and DSOs to define the DSO-based requirements for potential blockchain applications in the energy sector, specifically EV evolution.Conference Object Citation - Scopus: 2Beyin Dalgalari ve Baş Hareketiyle Gerçek Zamanli Robotik Araba Kontrolü(Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc., 2018-11) Oztürk, Nedime; Yilmaz, Bulent; Onver, Ahmet YasinEmotiv Epoc Headset is a portable and low-cost device. In this study, Emotiv Epoc headset was used in order to obtain real-time gyro and EEG signals. The aim of this study was to control a robotic car in real-time by using head movement and opening and closing of the eyes. The maximum and minimum amplitude of the gyro signal, and the ratios of the beta waves of O1 and O2 channel to alpha waves of the same channels were used as threshold values. These threshold values were used to determine the direction of the robotic car. Because of its low-cost and easy implementation, Arduino Uno was used to manage the robotic car. This study has shown that brain waves and head movements can control a device in real time. This system has the potential to be used in neurofeedback and brain-computer interface applications. © 2019 Elsevier B.V., All rights reserved.
