- ArticleYalnız künye2019The design and experimentation of the new cascaded DC-DC boost converter for renewable energy
Can, Erol
After renewable energy generated, a direct current value is converted to a direct current value at another level for a power electronics and power system application that is often considered. In this article, the design and application of a new generation multi-time cascaded DC-DC converter are discussed. The dc-to-dc converter is three-levels, and the switches for each step have a working time and a non-working time. Mathematical models are established depending on the relationship between current and voltage according to the operating and non-operating states of the switches at each stage. After these mathematical models are creating, the new generation multi-timed DC-DC converter is run in Matlab Simulink and simulation results are validated in experimentation. The output voltage and inductor current are observed with a scope. Then, the results from the proposed converter are compared with the results of the traditional converters. The results show the effectiveness of the proposed dc-dc converter.

Ekici, Sami; Unal, Fatih; Ozleyen, Umit
Various pattern recognition methods have been suggested for estimating high-voltage alternating current transmission line fault location. However, insufficient studies have been conducted on the transmission lines connected to hybrid power generation systems such as wind and solar plants. In this study, the performance of different regression methods was investigated on a hybrid power system. Different faults with random distances on the transmission line were simulated and a fault database created by recording the current and voltage signals of these faults. After normalising this data in the preprocessing phase, it was passed to the digital signal processing stage. By repeating the experiments, 497 different faults were created. Fault types, fault resistances, and fault inception angles were changed randomly in order to obtain similar fault occurrence conditions as in real life by writing a Matlab code. In order to obtain distinctive features, the discrete wavelet transform was used. For training and validation of the dataset, Matlab Regression Learner App (RLA) was employed and the obtained results compared to select the best model. After significant fault simulation, Matern 5/2, a type of Gaussian progress regression model, showed more promising results compared to other RLA models.

Two-dimensional materials are one of the most studied materials for many applications in recent years. Among the two-dimensional (2D) metal carbide, MXene is seen as one of the most promising materials for energy storage systems. Among the MXene family, Ti3C2Tx, the lightest material, is one of the electrode materials due to its unique electrochemical performance. In this study, Ti3C2Tx MXene structure was obtained by removing Al layer from Ti3AlC2 MAX structure by selective etching. Exceptional electrochemical performance and high electronic conductivity of Ti3C2Tx was obtained and surface and morphological analyzes were performed with FESEM, EDS, XRD. FESEM has demonstrated that synthesized MXene is a layered solid structure. In addition, synthesized MXene was tested for electrochemical behavior against electrochemical energy storage applications using techniques such as cyclic voltammetry (CV), galvanostatic charge discharge (GCD), and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS).

TiO 2 nanotube/ZnO nanorod hybrid nanocomposite (ZTN) photoanodes were synthesized, characterized and assembled as dye-sensitized solar cells (DSSCs) at optimum conditions for improving photovoltaic efficiency. The self-organized and high ordered TiO 2 nanotube arrays were growth on titanium foil by anodic oxidation as a substrate for ZnO decoration by hydrothermal method. Zinc nitrate hexahydrate and hexamethylenetetramine precursor concentrations were varied to designate the optimum ZnO decoration density for enhanced photoconversion efficiency. XRD, FESEM and XPS results showed that the crystal structure, morphology, elemental composition and density of ZnO nanorods on the surface of TiO 2 nanotubes are very sensitive to ZnO precursor concentrations. It is found that, the highest overall efficiency of DSSC based on ZTN photoanode was measured 1.8% for precursor concentration of 60 mM which was more than double compared to DSSC based on bare-TiO 2 nanotubes (0.8%). The improvement of DSSC efficiency originates from suppressing the recombination rate and decreasing the charge transfer resistance due to synergetic effect between TiO 2 nanotubes and ZnO nanorods.

Interleaved boost converter (IBC) is equal to two-boost converter operating in parallel. IBCs are more advantageous than conventional boost converters. Input current of the interleaved converter is less fluctuated compared to that of the boost converter. In this paper, a new IBC structure is introduced unlike the conventional IBC structure. In the presented converter, the place of output filter capacitor is changed unlike the conventional IBC and thus, the voltage across the output filter capacitor is reduced about Vi. The proposed IBC performs similar experimental results compared to that of the conventional IBC. Besides, the proposed IBC enables the utilization of an output filter capacitor even with lower voltage, and thus the cost of IBC is reduced. The analysis of operating stages of the presented converter is conducted for D < 50% and D > 50% modes. Finally, an experimental setup of the presented converter is realized along with the parameters of 640 W and 20 kHz.

Given the fact that 35 % of total energy is consumed in buildings and % 80 of that energy is used as heating purposes, it is of importance that heating isolation material applied to buildings as well as more efficient heating systems set up in buildings provides large energy savings. Providing desired performance in heating isolation is directly correlated to properties of heating isolation material along with to thoroughly complying to application techniques of isolation materials. Expanded perlit is considered to be alternative heating isolation material because it has close isolation values to that of other isolation materials, and its lifetime approaches to infinity due to its puzolanik features gaining strength with time, and it prevents heat bridges as isolation process is done as whole in layer, and it has high fire durability, sound isolation, and it prevents the formation of vapor between wall and plaster surface and so that prevents mold and bacteria with the help of breathing the air, and it doesn`t emit harmful chemical substance due to fact that it is natural. In this study, an experimental room was made in Erzincan province and compared the thermal insulation performance of perlite, which is the most widely used thermal insulation material today, with expanded EPS. As a result of the evaluation of the received measurement data, it has been determined that 8 cm expanded perlite and 6 cm EPS thermal insulation material have equal thermal insulation capacity.

Yilmaz, Ilker; Yilmaz, Harun; Cam, Omer; Ilbas, Mustafa
Main challenges for a fuel efficient micro scale combustion are rooted from size restriction of micro combustors which results with inappropriate residence time of fuel/air mixture and intensified heat losses due to relatively high surface to volume ratio of such devices. One way of increasing energy output of micro combustors is to optimize its geometry by considering simplicity and easy manufacturability. In this study, effect of combustor geometric properties on combustion behavior of premixed hydrogen/air mixtures was numerically investigated. For this purpose, an experimentally tested micro combustor's geometric properties were modified by establishing a backward facing step which is varying distance from combustor inlet and has varying step height, and adding opposing cavities which are varying distance from combustor inlet and have constant length to depth ratio into the flow area. Modeling and simulation studies were performed using ANSYS Design Modeler and Fluent programs, respectively. Combustion behavior was analyzed by means of centerline and outer wall temperature distributions, amount of heat transferred through combustor wall, conversion ratio of input chemical energy to utilizable heat, and species distributions. Turbulence model used in this study is Renormalization Group (RNG) k-ε. Multistep combustion reaction scheme with 9 species and 19 steps was simulated using Eddy Dissipation Concept model (EDC). Results showed that backward facing step in the flame region alters reaction zone distribution, flame length and shape, and consequently temperature value and distribution throughout the combustor. Lastly cavity was found to slightly increase peak temperature value.

Ozgenel, Mehmet Cihat
With the reduction of magnet costs and the production of high-energy magnets in small sizes, permanent magnet brushless motors are used widely in various applications from household to medical, industrial, and automation applications. Furthermore, permanent magnet brushless motors have some significant advantages over the other conventional motors such as induction and brushed motors. Due to the popularity of brushless motors, they have become the focus of interest of researchers. From the past 30 years to today, the researchers have carried out numerous studies in relation to brushless motors. These studies are generally sensorless control, adaptive control, different Proportional Integral and Derivate (PID) applications, fuzzy control, PI-fuzzy and PID-fuzzy control and different Pulse Width Modulation applications and to eliminate torque ripple and other control algorithms. Permanent magnet brushless motors can be divided into two main groups. One is the permanent magnet synchronous motor and the other one is the permanent magnet brushless direct current motor (BLDCM). BLDC motors are the most preferred in applications due to their low cost and relatively simple drivers. BLDC motors are run with the classical 120-degree conduction mode voltage source inverter (VSI). Because BLDC motors run with 120-degree conduction mode inverters, power and torque produced by BLDC motors are less than their capacity, whereas BLDC motors can provide a better dynamic response, higher power, and torque by employing 150-degree conduction mode controlled VSI. In this experimental study, it is aimed to design and manufacture a versatile VSI which can control the BLDC motor in both 120 and 150-degree conduction modes. Then, BLDC motor is run in two conduction modes employing the purposed inverter under various loads, and the torque, power, and speed performance of the motor were analyzed to demonstrate the effect of the two commutation methods on BLDC motor performance. The results of this comparative experimental study have shown that the 150-degree conduction mode-controlled inverter provides with the BLDC motor generating higher power, torque, and speed than the inverter with 120-degree conduction mode.

Platinum decorated heterogeneous catalysts for methanol oxidation reaction have crucial importance for the commercial sustainability of Direct Methanol Fuel Cells (DMFC). In this study, TiO2/ZnO/Pt nanocomposite film was fabricated as a promising electrocatalytic surface to enhance methanol oxidation in alkaline medium. Firstly, an TiO2/ZnO layer was prepared via DC sputtering followed by electrodeposition techniques on FTO electrode and then platinum nanoparticles were decorated onto the obtained nanocomposite film for the first time. The characterization of the developed transparent films was performed by using field emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM), atomic force microscopy (AFM), X-ray diffraction (XRD), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), cycling voltammetry (CV) and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS). The XRD, FESEM and XPS results showed that metallic Pt nanoparticles were uniformly distributed onto the TiO2/ZnO film consisting of anatase TiO2 and wurtzite ZnO layers with a thickness of ca. 370 and 320 nm, respectively. Five cycles of deposition of ZnO and Pt nanoparticles showed best catalytic activity after optimization. The oxidation peak of 0.5 M methanol at TiO2/ZnO/Pt was located at −0.17 V and the corresponding peak current increased about 10- and 5-fold in comparison to FTO/Pt and FTO/TiO2/Pt electrodes, respectively.

Modern condition monitoring-based methods are used to reduce maintenance costs, increase aircraft safety, and reduce fuel consumption. In the literature, parameters such as engine fan speeds, vibration, oil pressure, oil temperature, exhaust gas temperature (EGT), and fuel flow are used to determine performance deterioration in gas turbine engines. In this study, a new model was developed to get information about the gas turbine engine's condition. For this model, multiple regression analysis was carried out to determine the effect of the flight parameters on the EGT parameter and the artificial neural network (ANN) method was used in the identification of EGT parameter. At the end of the study, a network that predicts the EGT parameter with the smallest margin of error has been developed. An interface for instant monitoring of the status of the aircraft engine has been designed in MATLAB Simulink. Any performance degradation that may occur in the aircraft's gas turbine engine can be easily detected graphically or by the engine performance deterioration value. Also, it has been indicated that it could be a new indicator that informs the pilots in the event of a fault in the sensor of the EGT parameter that they monitor while flying.
