High voltage insulators are always subjected to pollution during service. Depending upon the atmospheric conditions, there is an increase in leakage current along the contaminated surface of the insulator, which eventually leads to a rise in temperature. Therefore the performance of a contaminated high voltage insulator is quite different from the one under pollution free conditions. This study deals with the evaluation of electric potential and temperature distribution along the surface of an outdoor post type silicone rubber insulator, which is covered with a uniform pollution layer. The analysis is carried out through computer simulations using finite element software. The different factors affecting the electric potential and temperature distribution along the insulator surface are investigated. From the simulation results, the most probable location of the dry-band formation along the insulator surface can be predicted.

Performance based ratemaking in electric distribution services
Uğuz, Mustafa; Sevaioğlu, Osman; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2006)
Regulation is one of the main elements in electric distribution services. The objective of the regulation is to maintain the balance between the rates and the service quality of electric distribution on behalf of both utilities and customers. In rapidly changing world the regulation regimes are also changing .In this thesis, an increasingly implemented regulation model in electric distribution, performance based ratemaking is studied. Its advantages and disadvantages, implementing methods and its quality ef...
Optimal allocation of sectionalizing switches in rural distribution systems
Daldal, Mustafa; Özay, Nevzat; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2011)
The distribution system which forms the final connection between customers and power source plays a vital role in an electrical network. Different studies show that substantial proportion of the customer interruptions occurs due to the failures on distribution network. The ongoing privatization process of the electrical distribution services in Turkey raises the importance of reliable and continuous electricity supply significantly. The new regulations come up with this privatization process and the electri...
Leakage Current Analysis of Grid Connected Transformerless Solar Inverters with Zero Vector Isolation
Özkan, Ziya; Hava, Ahmet Masum (2011-09-22)
The leakage current due to parasitic capacitance of the photovoltaic modules of the widely utilized transformerless photovoltaic inverters is confined by the standards to 300 mA-peak for safety reasons. This paper investigates the leakage current of the widely utilized zero vector isolating grid connected transformerless solar inverters (ZVI-GCTSI) by means of analytical modeling and simulations. The paper shows, in contrast to common knowledge, the source of leakage current in these topologies is not the i...
Reliability Assessment of IGBT Through Modelling and Experimental Testing
Ahsan, Mominul; How, Siew Teay; Batunlu, Canras; Albarbar, Alhussein (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), 2020)
Lifetime of power electronic devices, in particular those used for wind turbines, is short due to the generation of thermal stresses in their switching device e.g., IGBT particularly in the case of high switching frequency. This causes premature failure of the device leading to an unreliable performance in operation. Hence, appropriate thermal assessment and implementation of associated mitigation procedure are required to put in place in order to improve the reliability of the switching device. This paper ...
Chance constrained optimization of booster disinfection in water distribution networks
Köker, Ezgi; Altan Sakarya, Ayşe Burcu; Department of Civil Engineering (2011)
Quality of municipal water is sustained by addition of disinfectant, generally chlorine, to the water distribution network. Because of health problems, chlorine concentration in the network is limited between maximum and minimum limits. Cancerogenic disinfectant by-products start to occur at high concentrations so it is desired to have minimum amount of chlorine without violating the limit. In addition to the health issues, minimum injection amount is favorable concerning cost. Hence, an optimization model ...
