Voltage control is performed in three hierarchical levels in Turkish power system: primary, secondary and tertiary voltage control. Primary and secondary voltage controls are defined as the regulation of the voltage at the generator terminal and at the high voltage busbar of the power plant according to the pre-determined setpoints. The determination of the voltage setpoints for the power plants, which is defined as the tertiary voltage control, is performed by the operators in National and Regional Load Dispatch Centers. This process is based on the operators’ experience and knowledge about the system operating conditions and network connections. Since no systematical or analytical approach is employed during this process, optimum voltage profile along the grid may not be reached or transmission losses may increase. In this thesis study, a systematical approach is developed to guide the system operators during the determination of voltage setpoints for the power plants. For this purpose, an algorithm with two stages is developed. Stage I of the algorithm optimizes the voltage profile along the grid by minimizing the transmission losses. On the other hand, Stage II of the algorithm minimizes the cost of corrective actions if and when they are required. The algorithm has been developed and simulated using DigSilent and Matlab softwares. As the test system, West Anatolia Region of Turkish network has been chosen. Simulation results reveal that the optimum voltage profile can be obtained and the transmission losses can be minimized by the help of these studies.

Repetitive control of a three-phase uninterruptible power supply with isolation transformer
Çetinkaya, Süleyman; Hava, Ahmet Masum; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2006)
A repetitive control method for output voltage control of a three phase uninterruptible power supply (UPS) with isolation transformer is investigated. In the method voltage control loop is employed in the stationary dq frame. The controller eliminates the periodic errors on the output voltages due to inverter voltage nonlinearity and load disturbances. The controller design and implementation details are given. The controller is implemented on a 5-kVA UPS prototype which is constructed in laboratory. Linear...
Series active filter design, control, and implementation with a novel load voltage harmonic extraction method
Şentürk, Osman Selçuk; Hava, Ahmet Masum; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2007)
Series Active Filters (SAF) are designed for harmonic isolation and load voltage regulation of single-phase and three-phase voltage harmonic source type nonlinear loads. The novel Absolute Value Method (AVM) for load voltage harmonic extraction is proposed and applied in the control algorithm of SAF. The SAF compensated systems are represented by simplified linear models such that SAF controller gains can be easily determined. Harmonic isolation and load voltage regulation performances of 2.5 kW single-phas...
Output voltage control of a four-leg inverter based three-phase ups by means of stationary frame resonant filter banks
Demirkutlu, Eyyüp; Hava, Ahmet Masum; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2006)
A method for high performance output voltage control of a four-leg inverter based three-phase transformerless UPS is proposed. Voltage control loop is employed and the method employs stationary frame resonant filter controllers for the fundamental and harmonic frequency components. A capacitor current feedback loop provides active damping and enhances the output voltage dynamic performance. The controller design and implementation details are given. Linear and nonlinear loads for balanced and unbalanced loa...
Prediction of hot-spot and top-oil temperatures of power transformers according to IEEE standards C57.110-1998 and C57.91-1995
Karaca, Haldun; Ermiş, Muammer; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2007)
In this thesis, the effects of Harmonics on the Top Oil and Hot Spot Temperatures of Power Transformers used in Turkish Electricity Transmission System have been investigated. Due to the solid state equipment, the harmonic levels increase. This effect raises the losses and temperatures in the transformer windings. None of the power transformers currently used in Turkey has measuring equipment suitable for measuring the Hot-Spot temperatures. In this study, a computer program is written in LABVIEW which meas...
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...
