Multi-criteria decision analysis (MCDA) techniques are popular to select the route of linear structures. In this study, Geographical Information Systems (GIS) is employed to assess all the criteria, which are requested to determine the preferable route of power transmission line (PTL). A MCDA model is established on the basis of the Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) and Preference Ranking Organization Method for Enrichment Evaluations (PROMETHEE). Because of the complexity of the routing problem, GIS and MCDA technologies are used synergistically to generate a complete solution. In this thesis, a GIS-based route selection for overhead power transmission lines is presented in detail taking advantage of the MCDA methods. On the contrary to previous works, this study resolves the routing problem with a combination of the MCDA methods integrated with multi-decision maker. In addition, the risk index, impact factor, and cost are defined as some criteria for evaluation of alternative routes. The cost criterion, derived by the PTL design, contains the material, installation, and transportation expenses; and in addition, the extra cost of the cell where the power structure is located on the cost surface. The multi-layers are relatively compared to specify the weight of each layer using the AHP method by the three decision makers with different professional backgrounds on PTL. Four different routes are generated according to preferences of the decision makers and the mean of individuals’ judgments. In the PROMETHEE process, supported by the AHP method, the weight of each criterion is derived from the consensus of the decision makers. Finally, the route alternatives are compared according to criteria and then, the outranked route alternative is specified.

Beforehand obtaining a safety operation condition by using daily load curves in transient stability and graphical software for transient stability applications Öztop, Celal; Ertaş, Arif; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2005) In this thesis, relationship between two most important transient stability indices, critical clearing time and generator rotor angle is examined for one machine-infinite bus system and then extended to the multimachine case and is observed to be linear. By using the linear relationship between critical clearing time and generator rotor angle and utilizing the daily load curve, a new preventive method is proposed. The aim of this method is to make all critical clearing times longer than the relay and circui...
A study on symbol synchronization and channel estimation for m-ary orthogonal transmission Karagözlü, Eren; Tanık, Yalçın; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2011) In this thesis, two key issues regarding M-ary orthogonal signaling systems, namely channel estimation and symbol timing recovery are investigated. Kasami codes, which are also called quasi orthogonal codes, are used for transmission of the information in place of orthogonal waveforms. In order to achieve symbol synchronization, a timing recovery scheme based on the Maximum Likelihood (ML) estimation of timing offset is proposed and the effects of proposed structure over the receiver performance are examine...
A unifying grid approach for solving potential flows applicable to structured and unstructured grid configurations Cete, A. Ruhsen; Yuekselen, M. Adil; Kaynak, Uenver (Elsevier BV, 2008-01-01) In this study, an efficient numerical method is proposed for unifying the structured and unstructured grid approaches for solving the potential flows. The new method, named as the "alternating cell directions implicit - ACDI", solves for the structured and unstructured grid configurations equally well. The new method in effect applies a line implicit method similar to the Line Gauss Seidel scheme for complex unstructured grids including mixed type quadrilateral and triangle cells. To this end, designated al...
A Theoretical Analysis of Multi-Modal Representation Learning with Regular Functions Vural, Elif (2021-01-07) Multi-modal data analysis methods often learn representations that align different modalities in a new common domain, while preserving the within-class compactness and within-modality geometry and enhancing the between-class separation. In this study, we present a theoretical performance analysis for multi-modal representation learning methods. We consider a quite general family of algorithms learning a nonlinear embedding of the data space into a new space via regular functions. We derive sufficient condit...
A Novel Computational Method to Calculate Nonlinear Normal Modes of Complex Structures Samandarı, Hamed; Ciğeroğlu, Ender (2019-01-31) In this study, a simple and efficient computational approach to obtain nonlinear normal modes (NNMs) of nonlinear structures is presented. Describing function method (DFM) is used to capture the nonlinear internal forces under periodic motion. DFM has the advantage of expressing the nonlinear internal force as a nonlinear stiffness matrix multiplied by a displacement vector, where the off-diagonal terms of the nonlinear stiffness matrix can provide a comprehensive knowledge about the coupling between the mo...
