This paper reviews the ultracapacitor (UC) test procedures, establishes simple and economical power electronic conversion system-based UC test equipment, and experimentally evaluates the performance of a UC module. The power converter hardware structure and control algorithms of the designed system are discussed in detail. The high bandwidth and high accuracy current programming capability of the converter for the purpose of charging and discharging the UC, as required during testing, is illustrated via the experimental results. The UC equivalent circuit parameters are extracted. Successful constant current and constant power charging/discharging operating performances are demonstrated. The results of this study help with the design of simple and economical UC test equipment. Furthermore, the power converter and control algorithm developed and demonstrated can be used for energy management applications involving UCs.

Design and implementation of an ultracapacitor test Eroğlu, Hasan Hüseyin; Hava, Ahmet Masum; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2010) In this thesis, a test system is designed and implemented in order to evaluate the basic electrical performance and determine the parameters of ultracapacitors (UC). The implemented UC test system is based on power electronics converters and it is capable of charging and discharging the UC under test with predetermined current profiles. The charging operation is provided by a configuration involving the AC utility grid, a step-down transformer, a diode bridge, and a DC bus filter capacitor followed by a ste...
Performance Analysis of a Micro-scale Model Helicopter Rotor in Hover Flight Şahin, Mustafa; Kurtuluş, Dilek Funda (2015-09-12) This experimental study contains the design, production, test and evaluation of the test processes of a Micro-Scale Rotor Test-Rig. For the study, NACA 0012 airfoil section is selected as a rotor blade without a twist and a taper ratio. The tests cover the thrust and the torque relation with different blade pitch angles and RPM values.
Two-Dimensional Numerical Analysis of Phosphorus Diffused Emitters on Black Silicon Surfaces TÜRKAY, Deniz; Yerci, Selçuk (2018-07-06) In this work, we present an analysis on electrical performance of phosphorus diffused emitters on black silicon surfaces through two-dimensional simulations. In particular, we focus on the extraction and analysis of the emitter saturation current density (J(0e)), the sheet resistance (R-sh), spatial collection efficiency profile and relatedly J(sc) of a solar cell. Using process simulations, we form emitters on periodic triangular structures with various aspect ratios (R) and emitter profiles. We show that ...
Design, fabrication, and characterization of micro thermal actuators Gülcüler, Buğrahan; Azgın, Kıvanç; Department of Mechanical Engineering (2020-11) This thesis presents the design, fabrication, and characterization of V-Type thermal actuators, which will be used in an actuator system that is planned to be a tensile and compressive test setup to characterize the expandible cells by the help of double- ended tuning fork resonators as a force sensing mechanism. Actuators are serially packed to increase the generated force by them while maintaining the same deflection values. They have been connected to the overall system by springs to create a force on te...
Design of Microstrip Quadruplet Filters on Filpro Oruc, Sacid; Yıldırım, Nevzat (2018-11-02) In this paper, a simple dimensional design procedure is developed for microstrip/stripline quadruplet filters by starting with direct BP synthesis of a lumped quadruplet with inverter couplings, K14, K12, K23 and K34. K14 is the cross-coupling inverter which creates a symmetric pair of finite transmission zeros (FTZ's) if the sign of K14 is opposite of the other inverters while a complex TZ is created if K14 has the same sign as the other inverters leading to linear phase (flat delay) responses. The LC reso...
