Article Design of a Novel Converter Between Li-Ion Battery and Supercapacitor To Feed Synthetic Aperture Radar Loads for Satellite Applications(int Journal Renewable Energy Research, 2020) Tulay, Gencer; İskender, İres; Iskender, Ires; Elektrik-Elektronik MühendisliğiFor satellite applications the active duty life of a satellite depends mainly on the battery lifespan. The charging or discharging current has an important role in useful life of batteries. For this purpose, the converters used in power supplies including batteries should be accurately designed such that the large current of batteries can be prevented. The power converter proposed in this paper is used to transfer energy from battery to supercapacitor when SAR (Synthetic Aperture Radar) load is active. Accordingly, the lifespan of battery and hence the lifespan of satellite will be extended. Parallel to preventing the large discharging current of batteries the proposed converter has another important property such that it is able to vary the input voltage without having any stability problems. The operating performance of the converter that is composed of Weinberg and Buck converters is analyzed using PSpice software and the results of simulations are verified through experiments. The results show that how well the converter operates satisfying the conditions required for satellite applications.Article Citation - WoS: 3Citation - Scopus: 6Grid Connected Three-Phase Boost-Inverter for Solar Pv Systems(int Journal Renewable Energy Research, 2021) Demirkutlu, Eyyup; İskender, İres; Iskender, Ires; Elektrik-Elektronik MühendisliğiThis paper presents a transformerless grid-connected three-phase boost-type inverter derived from the Swiss Rectifier (SR) and can be used in solar systems. The proposed boost-inverter retains the great advantages of the Swiss rectifier. Since the number of switches that are instantly switched with high frequency is only two, the switching losses are very low, therefore the proposed boost-inverter is very advantageous in terms of efficiency. Without having large transformer and electrolytic bus capacitors, the boost-inverter has an advantage in terms of size and weight. The switching states of the topology are given in detail. The operation principle of the boost-inverter is described with the help of equivalent circuits. A cascaded control method including current and voltage loops is designed. Simulation results are presented to validate the operation of the boost-inverter and show quality performance of the designed control approach.Article Citation - WoS: 11Citation - Scopus: 9Multimode Beam Propagation Through Atmospheric Turbulence(Pergamon-elsevier Science Ltd, 2024) Baykal, Yahya; Ata, Yalcin; Gercekcioglu, Hamza; Gokce, Muhsin CanerThe investigation focuses on studying the propagation characteristics of multimode lasers in the turbulent amosphere. By employing the Huygens-Fresnel integral, we develop analytical formulations for various propagation parameters. These include the average intensity distribution, kurtosis parameter, beam spread, and the average transmittance of multimode beams in turbulent atmosphere. Our findings reveal that as the propagation distance or the structure constant of the atmosphere increases, i.e., turbulence becomes stronger, the kurtosis parameter and the beam spread increase. The multimode beam exhibits a Gaussian like intensity profile when the propagation distance is significantly increased or when the structure constant becomes sufficiently large. For the case of the Gaussian beam, the kurtosis parameter is found to be 3. The multimode beam's kurtosis parameter rises as the turbulence becomes stronger and eventually approaches 3. Raising the mode content leads to a rise in the average transmittance; however, it leads to a decline in the Kurtosis parameter and the beam spread.Article Citation - WoS: 3Citation - Scopus: 5Depth Dependence of Oceanic Turbulence Optical Power Spectrum Under Any Temperature and Salinity Concentration(Iop Publishing Ltd, 2024) Gercekcioglu, Hamza; Baykal, YahyaThe Oceanic Turbulence Optical Power Spectrum (OTOPS) with depth variations is acquired under any temperature and salinity concentration. It is supposed that specific medium is the Atlantic Ocean at high latitude and the Pacific Ocean at high, mid and low latitudes. For the OTOPS model, a depth-varying functions that include low-latitude, high- and mid-latitude-summer and mid-latitude-winter salinity and temperature changes are found. With the help of the equations for the temperature and salinity changes, figures are obtained for the eddy diffusivity ratio depth of seawater and OTOPS model against the depth and kappa at these media. In the ocean, downlink (uplink) is defined as the optical wireless communication link where the receiver (transmitter) is located at a deeper point than the transmitter (receiver), i.e., in the downlink, optical signal proceeds from a point close to ocean surface to deeper ocean and in the uplink, optical signal proceeds from deeper ocean to a point close to ocean surface. In this paper, the OTOPS model is investigated on how its properties change in the underwater environment in downlink and uplink. Different behavior of the OTOPS model is exhibited.Article Citation - WoS: 3Citation - Scopus: 2Correlations of Multimode Optical Incidences in a Turbulent Biological Tissue(Optica Publishing Group, 2023) Gokce, Muhsin Caner; Gerekcioglu, Hamza; Ata, Yalin; Baykal, Yahya; Gerçekcioğlu, HamzaIn a turbulent biological tissue, field correlations at the observation plane are found when a multimode optical incidence is used. For different multimode structures, variations of the multimode field correlations are evaluated against the biological tissue turbulence parameters, i.e., the strength coefficient of the refractive-index fluctuations, fractal dimension, characteristic length of heterogeneity, and the small length-scale factor. Using a chosen multimode content, for specific biological tissue types of liver parenchyma (mouse), intestinal epithelium (mouse), upper dermis (human), and deep dermis (mouse), field correlations are evaluated versus the strength coefficient of the refractive-index fluctuations and small length-scale factor. Again, with a chosen multimode content, behavior of the field correlations is studied against the strength coefficient of the refractive-index fluctuations for various diagonal lengths and the transverse coordinate at the observation plane. Finally, the field correlation versus the strength coefficient of the refractive-index fluctuations is reported for different single modes, which are special cases of multimode excitation. This topic is being reported in the literature for the first time, to our knowledge, and the presented results can be employed in many important biological tissue applications. (c) 2023 Optica PublishingArticle Citation - WoS: 4Citation - Scopus: 6Case Study on Thermal Optimization of Oil Immersed Transformer Used in Solar Power Plant Based on Genetic Algorithm and Computational Fluid Dynamics(Vinca inst Nuclear Sci, 2023) Iskender, Ires; Yukselen, EmirTransformers are one of the most capital investments in the solar power generation. Their safe and stable operations in the electrical networks are important. The main failure factor of transformers is the high temperature generated by the losses during operation, which increases the probability of insulation damage that significantly affects the useful life of transformer. Considering the importance of oil temperature and its effects on the life of the transformer, a numerical method is developed in this paper to optimize the cooling system of the transformer. In this regard, genetic algorithm is used as an optimization method to minimize the total cost of the cooling system while maintaining the required thermal conditions of the transformer. A comprehensive parametric study is carried out among the effective cooling geometry parameters using 3-D electromagnetic and thermal models of the photovoltaic transformer to evaluate and analyze the temperature distribution. The accuracy and feasibility of the proposed method is established by comparing the numerical results with those obtained from the experimental test. The results of the proposed method are found to be in a good agreement with the experimental and simulation results.Article Antenna Synthesis by Levin's Method Using Reproducing Kernel Functions(Applied Computational Electromagnetics Soc, 2023) Sener, GokerAn antenna synthesis application is presented by solving a highly oscillatory Fourier integral using a stable and accurate Levin's algorithm. In antenna synthesis, the current distribution is obtained by the inverse Fourier integral of the antenna radiation pattern. Since this integral is highly oscillatory, the Levin method can be used for its solution. However, when the number of nodes or the frequency increases, the Levin method becomes unstable and ineffective due to the large condition number of the interpolation matrix. Thus, an improved scheme of the method is used in an antenna synthesis application in which reproducing kernel functions are used as the basis of the approximation function. The accuracy of the new method is verified by a log-periodic antenna example. The error and stability analysis results show that the new method is more stable and accurate than other well-known kernels, especially for a large number of nodes.Article Citation - WoS: 5Citation - Scopus: 6Underwater Turbulence Effect on Optical Imaging(Iop Publishing Ltd, 2022) Gokce, Muhsin Caner; Baykal, Yahya; Ata, YalcinModulation transfer function (MTF) of oceanic turbulence plays an essential role in the design and quality of underwater image sensing systems capturing optical signals. MTF gives clues about the characteristics of turbulence which can help image reconstruction where the image resolution can be increased in this way. In the paper, under the conditions of weak turbulence and Gaussian beam propagation, we derive the modulation transfer function for short-exposure and long-exposure images based on the recently developed turbulence spectrum model: Oceanic turbulence optical power spectrum (OTOPS). With the aid of the OTOPS model, the effect of measurable turbulence parameters, namely average temperature, average salinity concentration, and temperature-salinity gradient ratios, as well as imaging system parameters, namely receiver aperture radius and wavelength of the laser source on the MTF are reported. Obtained results indicate that MTF rapidly decreases with increasing relative spatial frequency and turbulence strength. Turbulence becomes stronger with the increase in the average temperature, average salinity concentration, energy dissipation rate, temperature-salinity gradient ratio and with the decrease in the temperature dissipation rate, wavelength.Article Citation - WoS: 4Citation - Scopus: 6Scintillation of Laser Beams in Weak Atmospheric Turbulence for Aerial Vehicle in the Use of Lidar(Ieee-inst Electrical Electronics Engineers inc, 2022) Baykal, Yahya; Gercekcioglu, HamzaFormulation of on-axis scintillation of laser beams is found in weak atmospheric turbulence for aerial vehicle in the use of light detection and ranging (LIDAR) systems by employing the Rytov method. The formulation derived for collimated Gaussian, plane and spherical beams is evaluated in vertical link involving up/down link. In this medium, the behavior of these beams in terms of deterioration is examined. In this context, the on-axis scintillation index values are plotted versus normalized target size parameter, target size, source size, propagation distance and zenith angle, and the results are obtained for LIDAR systems operating for aerial vehicle in vertical atmospheric link by using ground/space transceiver. The degradation is greater in operating with ground transceiver than in operating with space transceiver. Additionally, while the on-axis scintillation index is minimized in the smaller target size in use of ground transceiver than in use of space transceiver, that is, it can also be minimized in the larger target size in use of space transceiver. The values of source size and the normalized target size parameter minimizing the obtained scintillation index, are 1.2 cm, 10, and 6 cm and 5 for ground transceiver and space transceiver, respectively.Article Citation - WoS: 6Citation - Scopus: 13Sdn-Driven Internet of Health Things: a Novel Adaptive Switching Technique for Hospital Healthcare Monitoring System(Wiley-hindawi, 2022) Alkhayyat, Ahmed; Abedi, Firas; Jawad, Aqeel Mahmood; Abosinnee, Ali S.; Preveze, BarbarosIn the last decent, the number of Internet of Things (IoT) health-based paradigm reached to a huge number of users, services, and applications across different disciplines. Thus, hundreds of wireless devices seem to be distrusted over a limited or small area. To provide a more efficient network, the software-defined network (SDN) thought to be a good candidate to deal with these huge number of wireless users. In this work, after a novel SDN algorithm is proposed for the hospital environment, it is also designed and integrated into an Internet of Health Things (IoHT) paradigm. The novel algorithm called adaptive switching (AS) is proposed as a novel adaptive access strategy based on adaptively hoping among existing Go-Back-N and Selective Repeat techniques. Finally, the throughput performance of the proposed AS method is compared with the performances of traditional Go-Back-N and Selective Repeat ARQ methods using the developed MATLAB simulation. For this, an optimal Perror rate that the network should prefer to switch either from Go-Back-N to Selective Repeat or from Selective Repeat to Go-Back-N method to maximize the network throughput performance is determined. The evaluated results are also confirmed by theoretical calculation results using well-known Mathis throughput formula. It is observed from the simulation results that the best throughput performance can be evaluated, when AS switches to Go-Back-N if the Perror is less than 3.5% and it switches back to Selective Repeat when the Perror is greater than 3.5%. By this way, it is also observed that the throughput always has its best possible results for all Perror rates and up to 37.52% throughput improvement is provided by the use of novel proposed adaptive switching (AS) algorithm.
