One of the most important tools for a power system operation is a load flow analysis. It reveals the bus voltages for a given demand–generation condition of a power system, which provides the operator situational awareness in terms of the line flows and losses. However, load flow analysis in naval platforms has some challenges because of the special electrical system structure, such as multiple distributed generation acting as PV buses, high R/X ratios and short lines. In this thesis, a novel approach for a power flow solution of shipboard systems is developed. The proposed method is a modified version of the well-known forward-backward sweep power flow solution, such that the proposed method can handle generation buses. This method can be effectively used for the shipboard systems. The proposed method requires a smaller number of iterations, and does not require any computationally complex operation. The proposed method is applied to shipboard networks, and the results are given to show the effectiveness and convergence performance of the proposed algorithm.

Active clamped ZVS forward converter with soft-switched synchronous rectifier for maximum efficiency operation
Acik, A; Cadirci, I (1998-05-22)
An active-clamped, zero-voltage switched forward converter equipped with a soft-switched synchronous rectifier is designed and implemented for some low output voltage applications where maximized efficiency is of utmost importance. The converter efficiency is maximized due to soft-switching of the main, active clamp and the synchronous rectifier MOSFET switches. Experimental results are presented for a converter with a de input voltage of 48V, an output voltage of 5V and a de electronic load up to 10A. The ...
Numerical & experimental investigation of flow through a cavitating venturi
Yazici, B.; Tuncer, İsmail Hakkı; Ak, M. Ali (2007-06-16)
Cavitating venturies are one of the simplest devices to use on a flow line to control the flow rate without using complex valve and measuring systems. It has no moving parts and complex electronic systems. This simplicity increases the reliability of the venturi and makes it a superior element for the military and critical industrial applications. Although cavitating venturis have many advantages and many areas of use, due to the complexity of the physics behind venturi flows, the characteristics of the ven...
ANALYSIS OF GROUND FAULT CURRENT DISTRIBUTION ALONG UNDERGROUND CABLES
Güven, Ali Nezih (1986-10-01)
It is important to determine the segment-by-segment distribution of the fault current in a multigrounded power network for better power system operation and grounding structure design. In this paper, a new method for the analysis of ground fault current distribution along underground cables (and/or overhead lines) is presented. The method is sufficiently accurate and comprehensive to simultaneously consider all the significant variables. The equivalent circuit developed utilizes both lumped and distributed ...
REDUCED-ORDER MODELING OF BLADED DISK SYSTEMS WITH SHROUDS BY COMPONENT MODE SYNTHESIS
Naghizadeh, Ehsan; Ciğeroğlu, Ender; Department of Mechanical Engineering (2022-6-03)
High computation costs imposed by a large number of degrees of freedom hamper the vibration analysis for blade disk systems. Moreover, mistuning, which necessitates the solution of the problem numerous times, and contact surfaces which require displacement data on shroud Degrees of Freedom (DOFs) with high accuracy, highlight the demand for an efficient reduced-order model. Consequently, aiming at deriving results with acceptable accuracy while minimizing computational cost, researchers have proposed differ...
Analysis and Control of Complex Flows in U-Bends using Computational Fluid Dynamics
Guden, Yigitcan; Yavuz, Mehmet Metin (2014-08-07)
Analysis and control of flow structure in U-bends are crucial since U-bends are used in many different engineering applications. As a flow parameter in U-bends, the ratio of inertial and centrifugal forces to viscous forces is called as Dean number. The increase of Dean number destabilizes the flow and leads to a three-dimensional flow consisting of stream wise parallel counter-rotating vortices (Dean vortices) stacked along the curved wall. Due to the curvature in U-bends, the flow development involves com...
