Computer-aided estimation of the flashover performance of polluted high voltage insulators

Improvement of the electric field distribution in the medium voltage gas insulated inductive voltage transformers Var, Melih; Keysan, Ozan; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2017) IVoltage transformers are commonly used in medium voltage systems for both protection and measurement purposes. These transformers are designed to satisfy the mandatory IEC requirements at the lowest possible cost. The average life expectancy of such transformer is about 20 years, reliability and robustness are of the utmost importance. The main cause of failure during rated operation is the deterioration of the solid insulation by partial discharges. Partial discharges, unless there is a manufacturing erro...
Permanent magnet design and image reconstruction algorithm for magnetic resonance imaging in inhomogeneous magnetic fields Yiğitler, Hüseyin; Eyüboğlu, Behçet Murat; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2006) Recently, the use of permanent magnets as magnetic field sources in biomedical applications has become widespread. However, usage of permanent magnets in magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is limited due to their inhomogeneous magnetic field distributions. In this thesis, shape and geometry optimization of a magnet is performed. Moreover, placement of more than one magnet is optimized to obtain desired magnetic field distribution in specific region of space. However, obtained magnetic field distribution can n...
Optimization of location and number of lightning arresters in 420 kV substations in Turkish high voltage electricity system Tulaz, Mert Ozan; Güven, Ali Nezih; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2014) Insulation coordination is defined as the selection of the dielectric strength of equipment in relation to the voltages which can appear on the system for which the equipment is intended and taking into account the service environment and the characteristics of the available protective devices. In an insulation coordination study, the voltage levels of power system equipment are determined in order to ensure the protection of equipment against overvoltages. This proper design in terms of the insulation coor...
Statistical modeling of hourly electricity load series in Turkey Özpala, Pınar; Gaygısız Lajunen, Esma; Department of Economics (2013) This study investigates Heterogeneous Double Seasonal ARIMA model, Heterogeneous Periodic AR model and a nonlinear model of Multiple Regime Logistic STAR model by application of hourly electricity load data between years 2006-2007 in Turkey. Forecast results suggest that Heterogeneous Double Seasonal ARIMA model is the best among three methods forecasting up to one day.
