Due to outstanding advantages of polymeric insulators such as: hydrophobicity, impact resistance and lower weight, their application in the high voltage transmission and distribution lines is increased significantly, in recent years. The most important feature of these insulators is their hydrophobicity. Contamination and aging are some of the factors that weaken this important feature and reduce the reliability of these insulators. Due to aging effects partial discharges start on the surface of the composite insulators and increase by impact of external factors. This paper examines the occurrence of partial discharge signals on polymeric insulators under: varying amounts of contamination, impact of physical defects, and accelerated salt-fog aging process. The partial discharge signals of these insulators are detected by UHF antenna and they are recorded. These measured partial discharge signals are used to monitor the insulation status. Their characteristics are determined through feature extraction. Using these "extracted features", a good distinction is found among these captured signals; which relate to different samples characteristics in terms of: severity of pollution, or different mechanical defects. These features are selected and used for classifying the insulators condition by support vector machine (SVM) algorithm.

Performance analysis of a solar-assisted heat pump with an evacuated tubular collector for domestic heating
Caglar, Ahmet; Yamali, Cemil (2012-11-01)
Performance of a solar-assisted heat pump with an evacuated tubular collector has been analyzed both theoretically and experimentally. A domestic heating system has been designed, constructed and tested. The evacuated tubular solar collector has been used to achieve higher collector efficiencies. The effects of evaporation temperature on the heating capacity and performance of the system have been investigated. Evaporation temperature varies between 5.2 and 20.7 degrees C while storage tank temperature vari...

Efficient integrated DC-DC converters for ultra-low voltage energy harvesters
Jayaweera, Herath; Muhtaroğlu, Ali; Sustainable Environment and Energy Systems (2017-8)
The self-starting on-chip fully integrated ultra-low voltage DC-DC converters for energy harvesting applications presented in literature generally have low efficiency and output power capacity. Any improvement in DC-DC converter circuits in terms of energy efficiency, output power, self-starting modes, and voltage gain will contribute significantly to the widespread application of energy harvesters. Two novel fully integrated, self-starting, ultra-low voltage DC-DC converter topologies and model based optim...
Electrothermal Analysis of the Field-Plated AIGaN/GaN HEMTs with SiO2 Passivation
Kara, Dogacan; AKGÜN, FATMA NAZLI DÖNMEZER (2017-09-01)
AlGaN/GaN high electron mobility transistors (HEMTs) are widely used in high frequency and power applications of the space and military industries due to their high RF power densities. When operated in full capacity, reliability of GaN HEMTs drop significantly due to device degradation, electron collapse phenomena, and concentrated heating effects. Although significant research has been done to investigate the effects of passivation, field-plates on the device degradation and the electron collapse separatel...
Leakage Current Analysis of Grid Connected Transformerless Solar Inverters with Zero Vector Isolation
Özkan, Ziya; Hava, Ahmet Masum (2011-09-22)
The leakage current due to parasitic capacitance of the photovoltaic modules of the widely utilized transformerless photovoltaic inverters is confined by the standards to 300 mA-peak for safety reasons. This paper investigates the leakage current of the widely utilized zero vector isolating grid connected transformerless solar inverters (ZVI-GCTSI) by means of analytical modeling and simulations. The paper shows, in contrast to common knowledge, the source of leakage current in these topologies is not the i...
