High efficiency combined - cycle gas polygenerator for ecological local generation (HEGEL)

2009-4-30
Objective is to develop, demonstrate and assess an innovative, high efficiency concept of micro-cogeneration system applied to a real demand site under real operating conditions. The application concept is based on a combined cycle architecture (Combi system) constituted by two integrated cogenerators powered by different prime movers: an innovative reciprocating engine cogenerator and a Rankine engine system (bottoming cycle) operated on the exhaust gases of the reciprocating engine. The location will be in Istanbul (Turkey) to perform the energy service to an office or residential building. The activity plan includes also system and market studies aimed at evaluating the competitive positioning of the proposed solution in view of exploitation. Economic evaluations will include profitability, business analysis and external costs The proposed Combi system could complement or substitute centralised power generation resulting in substantial savings of energy (up to 36%), CO2 (up to 50%) and emissions.

We report performance and capability improvements in several CEED-enabled applic...
Automatic video text localization and recognition
Saracoglu, Ahmet; Alatan, Abdullah Aydın (2006-01-01)
For the indexing and management of large scale video databases an important tool would be the text in the digital media. In this work, the localization performances of the overlay texts using different feature extraction methods with different classifiers are analyzed. Besides that in order to improve the text recognition rate by using multiple hipothesis obtained from multilevel segmentation and using statistical language model are investigated.
Hazardous waste management system design under population and environmental impact considerations
Yilmaz, Ozge; Kara, Bahar Y.; Yetiş, Ülkü (2017-12-01)
This paper presents a multi objective mixed integer location/routing model that aims to minimize transportation cost and risks for large-scale hazardous waste management systems (HWMSs). Risks induced by hazardous wastes (HWs) on both public and the environment are addressed. For this purpose, a new environmental impact definition is proposed that considers the environmentally vulnerable elements including water bodies, agricultural areas, coastal regions and forestlands located within a certain bandwidth a...
An agent-based optimization framework for mobile-cloud computing
Angın, Pelin (2013-01-01)
The proliferation of cloud computing resources in the recent years offers a way for mobile devices with limited resources to achieve computationally intensive tasks in real-time. The mobile-cloud computing paradigm, which involves collaboration between mobile and cloud resources, is expected to become increasingly popular in mobile application development. Dynamic partitioning of applications between mobile and cloud platforms based on resource availability is crucial in achieving the best performance for a...
High performance readout and control electronics for mems gyroscopes
Şahin, Emre; Akın, Tayfun; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2009)
This thesis reports the development of various high performance readout and control electronics for implementing angular rate sensing systems using MEMS gyroscopes developed at METU. First, three systems with open loop sensing mechanisms are implemented, where each system has a different drive-mode automatic gain controlled (AGC) self-oscillation loop approach, including (i) square wave driving signal with DC off-set named as OLS_SquD, (ii) sinusoidal driving signal with DC off-set named as OLS_SineD, and i...
