Accurate location of a fault on a line is extremely important to restore the line in the shortest time possible, which directly affects the operational cost and system reliability. This paper presents an accurate and computationally fast strategy for fault location based on well-known state estimation method. The proposed method employs PMU measurements recorded during the fault (before the circuit breakers open). Those measurements are used for determination of the fault currents flowing on the faulted line and locating the fault using Weighted Least Squares (WLS) estimator. The proposed method reduces the required number of measurements for the solution of the fault location problem by making use of the fast refresh rates of the PMUs. This work also presents comments on the selection of the initial values of the iterative fault location estimation problem. Simulation results are presented to validate the proposed method.

State estimation based fault location using pmu measurements Öner, Ahmet; Göl, Murat; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2016) Accurate location of a permanent fault on a transmission line is extremely important to restore the service in the shortest time possible, which directly affects the operational cost and system reliability. There are measurement based fault location methods in the literature, which require a high number of installed devices at substations. In this thesis study, an accurate and computationally fast strategy for fault location based on well-known Weighted Least Squares state estimator is presented. The propos...
Cooperative Density Estimation in Random Wireless Ad Hoc Networks Onur, Ertan; Niemegeers, Ignas (2012-03-01) Density estimation is crucial for wireless ad hoc networks for adequate capacity planning. Protocols have to adapt their operation to the density since the throughput in an ad hoc network approaches asymptotically to zero as the density increases. A wireless node can estimate the global density by using local information such as the received power from neighbors. In this paper, we propose a cross layer protocol to compute the density estimate. The accuracy of the estimate can be enhanced and its variance ca...
Interference alignment on multigroup multi way relay channels Okutan, Mehmet Akif; Tuncer, Temel Engin; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2019) Interference is a major problem for reliable multiuser communications. There are several ways to manage interference which are applied according to the power of interference compared to the power of desired signal. If interference is powerful than the desired signal then interference signal is decoded. Otherwise if it is much weaker than the desired signal it may be considered as noise. If signal powers of the desired signal and the interference are comparable then orthogonalizing all the signals from all t...
Direction of arrival estimation in sensor arrays with faulty elements Külbay, Tayfun; Tuncer, Temel Engin; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2020) During the operational lifetime of a sensor array, certain sensors cease to operate properly. The identification of these sensors is an important problem. Furthermore, the operation of the array is continued even with the faulty sensors. Therefore, new techniques are required in order to ensure that the system estimation performance does not degrade significantly. In this thesis, two different fault types in a sensor array are considered. The first fault type is special to MEMS microphone arrays. MEMS micro...
