The need for energy efficient communication frameworks is growing. Energy harvesting communication constitutes an important part among such systems. This thesis aims to design and optimize a rate adaptation algorithm for transmitters of such systems in order to achieve energy efficiency. An optimal offline rate scheduling problem with battery constraints is solved by using iterative and heuristic techniques. Furthermore, it is shown that an additional energy saving is possible by changing the optimization problem to minimize both energy usage and energy waste. In addition to this, an online energy-efficient and energy harvesting-aware routing protocol for energy harvesting ad-hoc wireless sensor networks is developed. The protocol is observed to achieve a longer lifetime than some of the most popular current routing methods

Optimal transmission scheduling for energy harvesting systems and implementation of energy efficient scheduling algorithms on software defined radio / Uçtu, Göksel; Uysal Bıyıkoğlu, Elif; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2014) Recently, improving energy efficiency in the rapidly evolving technology field of wireless communications has become an important need. To improve the ease of use, extend the field of application of wireless communications, and sustain the applications that use the technology for longer durations with less energy expenditure, study of energy harvesting systems has gained momentum. In this thesis, an offline scheduling problem in an energy harvesting system has been solved and three scheduling alorithms have...
On determining cluster size of randomly deployed heterogeneous WSNs Sevgi, Cueneyt; Koçyiğit, Altan (2008-04-01) Clustering is an efficient method to solve scalability problems and energy consumption challenges. For this reason it is widely exploited in Wireless Sensor Network (WSN) applications. It is very critical to determine the number of required clusterheads and thus the overall cost of WSNs while satisfying the desired level of coverage. Our objective is to study cluster size, i.e., how much a clusterhead together with sensors can cover a region when all the devices in a WSN are deployed randomly. Therefore, it...
Optimization of feedback in a multiuser miso communication downlink with energy harvesting users / Shakiba-Herfeh, Mahdi; Uysal Bıyıkoğlu, Elif; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2014) We study the optimization of the number of bits allocated by energy harvesting users for sending feedback to a common multiple-antenna access point (AP). The nodes need to distribute their feedback transmissions judiciously across time (and channel states) in order to maximize certain throughput goals. While the MISO channel capacity from the AP to a user is a strictly increasing function of the number of feedback bits sent by the user to the AP for providing channel state information, the energy consumptio...
Optimal and implementable transmission schemes for energy harvesting networks Özçelik, Fatih Mehmet; Uysal Bıyıkoğlu, Elif; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2012) Progress in energy harvesting technology and the increasing need for the energy efficient and environmentally friendly applications have called for reconsideration of communication systems. This reconsideration results in new problem formulations regarding the recent developments on energy harvesting systems. Recently, optimal strategies for various types of energy harvesting networks have been developed based on different harvesting models. This thesis reports the results of our research to develop the opt...
Design of a Power Plant Emulator for the Dynamic Frequency Stability Studies Duymaz, Erencan; Pourkeivannour, Siamak; Ceylan, Doğa; ŞAHİN, İLKER; Keysan, Ozan (2018-10-25) Increasing renewable energy integration to grid requires inertial support to improve frequency stability of the power system. Inertial support of renewable energy systems requires hardware verification in order to test practical limitations and absence of dynamical grid simulators makes verification studies more challenging. In this study, a test rig which is composed of a DC motor, an AC synchronous generator and an external flywheel, is developed in order to provide a platform in which dynamic properties ...
