Many network systems such as, gas and water pipelines, power transmission and distribution systems, highways and communication systems extend spatially over large geographical regions. Such network systems are composed of interconnected components which form paths. Correlation, resulting from similar topography, soil conditions as well as external loading due to the same environmental factors, between the behaviour of those elements should be taken into consideration and be quantified. In this respect the spatial correlation proportional to the distance amongst the components should be taken into consideration. The main objective of this thesis is to investigate the system reliability of electric power transmission networks under multihazard (seismic load, wind pressure, ice accretion and wear out) conditions by concentrating especially on the modelling and quantification of spatial correlation in a format suitable for the implementation in the evaluation of network reliability. In this respect the main concepts of the random field theory is applied and the scale of fluctuation is also be utilized as a measure of spatial correlation. A case study based on real life data is presented in order to illustrate the implementation of the methods developed in the thesis.

Optimal maintenance scheduling for transmission lines Özmen, Engin Berk; Göl, Murat; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2018) The fundamental mission of a transmission system operator is to supply desired electricity to all parts of the network continuously within acceptable economic and quality standards. Transmission lines provide the essential infrastructure to carry the power from generation stations to customers. Maintenances of the transmission lines are of great importance for not only power system reliability but also operational costs and equipment life span. Furthermore, operating the system with all available equipment ...
Reliability of transportation lifeline systems subjected to earthquake loads Topkara Özcan, Naz; Yücemen, Mehmet Semih; Department of Civil Engineering (2016) Lifelines, such as highway, gas, water and power distribution systems, are networks which extend spatially over large geographical regions. The assessment of the reliability of a lifeline under seismic loads requires particular attention, since the proper functioning of these systems during or after a destructive earthquake is very important. The main objective of this study is to investigate the system reliability of lifeline networks subjected to earthquake loads by concentrating on highway systems consis...
Optimal allocation of sectionalizing switches in rural distribution systems Daldal, Mustafa; Özay, Nevzat; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2011) The distribution system which forms the final connection between customers and power source plays a vital role in an electrical network. Different studies show that substantial proportion of the customer interruptions occurs due to the failures on distribution network. The ongoing privatization process of the electrical distribution services in Turkey raises the importance of reliable and continuous electricity supply significantly. The new regulations come up with this privatization process and the electri...
Optimal phasor measurement unit (PMU) placement for the power systems with existing SCADA measurements Ertürk, Bulut; Göl, Murat; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2017) It is extremely important to maintain efficiency, sustainability and reliability of the generation, transmission and distribution of the electrical energy; hence it is mandatory to monitor the system in real time. State estimation has a key role in real time monitoring of a power system. The considered power system has to be observable in order to perform state estimation. Traditionally, power system state estimators employ SCADA measurements. However, as the number of Phasor Measurement Units (PMUs) increa...
Energy consumption in data centers with deterministic setup times Kara, Aytaç; Sezer, Ali Devin; Phung-Duc, Tuan; Department of Financial Mathematics (2017) Data centers, which are networks consisting of thousands of computers, are central objects in the global computation infrastructure. Typical data centers today may consume as much electricity as a small town. Thus, it is of interest to build models of these centers that allow one to study / optimize their energy usage. One of the models for the energy usage based on queueng theory is the one developed in “Exact Solutions for M/M/c/Setup Queues” by Tuan Phung-Duc. The same work carries out a stationary analy...
