© 2021 IEEE.This paper presents a novel method to optimally place phasor measurement units (PMUs) and Photovoltaic power nowcasting devices (PNDs) in active distribution systems (ADS) with high PV penetration. The paper solves two placement problems for active distribution systems, i.e., achieving observability and desired measurement redundancy and probabilistically ensuring that the ADS will remain observable despite topological changes. The Genetic Algorithm (GA) is implemented to solve both non-linear optimization problems.

Observability and Criticality Analyses for Power Systems Measured by Phasor Measurements
Göl, Murat (2013-08-01)
This paper proposes observability and measurement criticality analysis methods for any type of current phasor measurement configurations. Measurement Jacobian cannot be decoupled when using current phasor measurements and thus conventional methods of network observability analysis can no longer be used. Current phasor measurements may be classified into two types based on their configuration. Depending on whether there is a voltage phasor measurement at the sending end of the measured line or not, a current...
Optimal Design of Grid-Connected Voltage-Source Converters Considering Cost and Operating Factors
Kantar, Emre; Hava, Ahmet Masum (2016-09-01)
This paper assesses the feasibility of three-phase pulse-width modulated (PWM) three-level voltage-source converters (VSC), namely neutral-point-clamped (3L-NPC) and T-type (3L-T) as alternatives to two-level converter (2L-VSC) for low-voltage multimegawatt renewable energy grid-connected converter applications. For this purpose, a novel design algorithm that takes switching frequency, capacity factor, modulation index, PWM scheme(s), and converter topology(ies) as input is unveiled to provide the design st...
Robust Attitude Estimation Using IMU-Only Measurements
Candan, Batu; Söken, Halil Ersin (2021-01-01)
© 1963-2012 IEEE.This article proposes two novel covariance-tuning methods to form a robust Kalman filter (RKF) algorithm for attitude (i.e., roll and pitch) estimation using the measurements of only an inertial measurement unit (IMU). KF-based and complementary filtering (CF)-based approaches are the two common methods for solving the attitude estimation problem. Efficiency and optimality of the KF-based attitude filters are correlated with appropriate tuning of the covariance matrices. Manual tuning proce...
Design and implementation of a current source converter based active power filter for medium voltage applications
Terciyanlı, Alper; Ermiş, Muammer; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2010)
This research work is devoted to the design, development and implementation of a Current Source Converter (CSC) based Active Power Filter (APF) for Medium Voltage (MV) applications. A new approach has been proposed to the design of the CSC based APF for reducing the converter kVA rating considerably. This design approach is called the Selective Harmonic Amplification Method (SHAM), and is based on the amplification of some selected harmoniccurrent components of the CSC by the input filter, and the CSC contr...
Near-infrared emission spectrometry measurements for nonintrusive soot diagnostics in flames
Ayranci, Isil; Vaillon, Rodolphe; Selçuk, Nevin (2008-01-01)
The present study focuses on measurement of line-of-sight emission intensity spectra in the near-infrared range by Fourier-transform infrared spectrometry for use in tomographic soot diagnostics. Measurements are carried out on an axisymmetric, laboratory grade, ethylene/air diffusion flame within the 1.1-1.7 mu m (9000-6000 cm(-1)) spectral range. Presentation of the measurement and calibration methodology is followed by the description of noise and uncertainty assessment procedures. A novel noise characte...
