Potential integral equations (PIEs) introduced recently also have a low-frequency breakdown that becomes visible when considering the electric charge density and near-zone electric field intensity values. As opposed to the well-known low-frequency breakdown of the electric-field integral equation (EFIE), which shows itself as both inaccuracy and ill-conditioning, the low-frequency breakdown of PIEs is not related to the conditioning properties of the related matrix equations. Therefore, we clearly distinguish the low-frequency breakdowns of EFIE and PIEs by categorizing the underlying mechanisms as field imbalance and source imbalance. Numerical examples are presented to provide a complete picture of these integral equations at low-frequencies, besides an effective post-processing method to mitigate the inaccuracies in PIEs.

Computation of the electric field at a solid/gas interface in the presence of surface and volume charges Bektas, S.I.; Farish, O.; Hizal, M. (Institution of Engineering and Technology (IET), 1986) Enhancement of the electric field at a solid insulator/electrode/gas triple junction and on the surface of an insulator, due to imperfect contacts, surface irregularities and contamination, reduces the withstand voltage of the gas-only system. The charges deposited on the surface and in the bulk of the insulator, when stressed under high voltage, further modify the electric field. In the paper, the influence of accumulated static charges on the electric field distribution associated with a cylindrical insul...
MFIE-Based Formulation Using Double-Layer Modeling for Perfectly Conducting Objects Guler, Sadri; İbili, Hande; Ergül, Özgür Salih (2019-01-01) We present resonance-free solutions of scattering problems involving closed conductors using the magnetic field integral equation (MFIE). In the literature, MFIE is often combined with the electric-field integral equation (EFIE) to avoid internal resonances that can significantly contaminate solutions especially when scatterers become electrically large. The resulting combined-field integral equation (CFIE), however, possesses the disadvantages of EFIE, e.g., ill-conditioning for dense discretizations. We s...
Adaptive control of DC link current in current source converter based STATCOM for improving its power losses Karaduman, Ferdi; Ermiş, Muammer; Bilgin, Hazım Faruk; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2012) In conventional three-phase PWM (Pulse Width Modulation) current source converter based STATCOM (Static Synchronous Compensator) applications, DC link current is kept constant at a predefined value and the reactive power of STATCOM is controlled by varying modulation index. This control strategy causes unnecessary power losses especially when the reactive power of STATCOM is low. For this purpose, in order to reduce the active power drawn by STATCOM, the modulation index can be maximized by adjusting DC lin...
Combined Potential-Field Surface Formulations for Resonance-Free and Low-Frequency-Stable Analyses of Three-Dimensional Closed Conductors Eris, Ozgur; Karaova, Gokhan; Ergül, Özgür Salih (2021-03-22) We present combined formulations involving the recently developed potential integral equations (PIEs) together with field formulations, particularly the magnetic-field integral equation (MFIE), for accurate, efficient, and stable analyses of three-dimensional closed conductors. This kind of combinations are required since PIEs suffer from internal resonances and are prone to numerical issues for relatively large conductors. By combining PIEs with MFIE, we obtain low-frequency-stable implementations that can...
Equivalence Principle Algorithm for Potential Integral Equations Farshkaran, Ali; Ergül, Özgür Salih (2018-09-14) We present a new frequency-domain implementation of the equivalence principle algorithm (EPA) using the recently developed potential integral equations (PIEs) as inner formulations. The set of equivalent sources is updated by including all components of electric and magnetic fields, as well as potentials required for PIEs. The developed implementation is stable when applied to challenging problems involving extremely dense discretizations with respect to wavelength, while it is efficient at the same time th...
