    Integrated Planning of Electrical and Natural Gas Distribution System for Enhancing the Resilience after Occurrence of Earthquake

    , M.Sc. Thesis Sharif University of Technology Zare, Amir Reza (Author) ; Eshraghniaye Jahromi, Abdolhamid (Supervisor)
    Abstract
    The ever-growing prevalence of gas-fired power plants has paved the way for significant changes in the electrical energy network applications in recent years. As a result, the mutual dependency between natural gas distribution systems and electrical energy distribution systems has been intensified. Thus, the integrated gas and electrical distribution system is faced with notable threats from natural disasters that can lead to disruptions in meeting the critical demands of the consumers as well as high monetary costs. The occurrence of unpredicted natural disasters such as floods, earthquakes, and hurricanes affects the performance of energy infrastructures. Given the low possibility of these... 

    Orthogonal-mode dual-band rectangular waveguide filters

    , Article 27th Iranian Conference on Electrical Engineering, ICEE 2019, 30 April 2019 through 2 May 2019 ; 2019 , Pages 1534-1537 ; 9781728115085 (ISBN) Golzar, M.H ; Memarian, M ; Sharif University of Technology

    Abstract
    In this paper, we present a design method of dual-band waveguide rectangular cavity filters, with a series in-line topology. The coupling matrix is based on asynchronously tuned designs, where two sets of resonances exist for the two bands. Thus the filter is inherently different than the typical dual-band designs in the literature, as existing designs utilize resonators at the same frequency. The design at Ku band validates the underlying idea and concept, and the theory of the detuned coupling matrix. This rectangular waveguide implementation can provide noticeable miniaturization in applications with high-power requirements  

    An identity based authentication protocol for smart grid environment using physical uncloneable function

    , Article IEEE Transactions on Smart Grid ; Volume 12, Issue 5 , 2021 , Pages 4426-4434 ; 19493053 (ISSN) Sanaullah Badar, H. M ; Qadri, S ; Shamshad, S ; Faizan Ayub, M ; Mahmood, K ; Kumar, N ; Sharif University of Technology

    Abstract
    Smart grid plays an important role in managing demand response management in modern smart city using Information and Communication Technologies (ICTs). In smart grid environment, sensors are widely used for surveillance. These are deployed on the high tension power supply lines which help to share the information to control center about line breakage or any other flaw. Besides the cyber-attacks, sensors may also experience physical attacks as they are deployed on high-tension power lines in an open environment. Moreover, an attacker can also impersonate the information exchanged between sensors, gateways and control centers. Therefore, the most indispensable requirement is to prevent these...

    , Article 29th Iranian Conference on Electrical Engineering, ICEE 2021, 18 May 2021 through 20 May 2021 ; 2021 , Pages 129-133 ; 9781665433655 (ISBN) Alipour, Z ; Esmaeili, F ; Shanehsazzadeh, F ; Fardmanesh, M ; Sharif University of Technology

    Abstract
    We proposed a simple method to enhance shielding factor of our previously proposed bi-stage active shield system employed in a SQUID-based magnetocardiography system. The additional proposed design is optimized for canceling the power-line magnetic interference field to provide a calmer magnetic environment for the bi-stage active shield. A 50 Hz cancellation coil is placed around the bi-stage shielding system which includes inner and outer coils designed for compensating low-frequency (0-0.1Hz) and high-frequency (0.1-100Hz) environmental magnetic noise, respectively. In this configuration, a SQUID magnetometer is located at the center of these coils. Considering that the power-line...

    Design and Implementation of Phase Noise Meter in Digital Method

    , M.Sc. Thesis Sharif University of Technology Rezvani, Mohammad Reza (Author) ; Banai, Ali (Supervisor)
    Abstract
    Phase noise is one of the important parameters in telecommunication systems and its measurement has always been considered. Digital phase noise measurement methods have a simpler implementation and calibration than analog types. Also, in digital methods, amplitude noise and phase noise can be separated and measured both at the same time. Comparing the phase noise of two oscillators with different frequencies is another major advantage of digital methods. The sensitivity of digital methods is limited to the noise of their analog-to-digital converters. Cross-correlation technique is used to reduce the minimum measurable level of phase noise. This method reduces the internal noise of the...

    Abstract
    In this paper, a new zero-voltage-switching high power-factor (PF) rectifier with Line-Modulated Fixed-Off-Time current control is introduced, that off time is a function of the instantaneous line voltage. The auxiliary circuit provides soft switching for all semiconductor devices, without any extra current and voltage stress on the main switches. The proposed converter is bridgeless, and all semiconductor devices are soft switched. In addition, there is no extra stress on the switches. Thus, the conduction and switching losses are reduced and maximum efficiency is achieved. A 250W, with an input ac voltage of 90265 Vrms and an output voltage 400 Vdc, 100 kHz is designed and simulated to...

    Abstract
    This paper proposes probabilistic damage and collapse models for reinforced concrete poles in electric power distribution networks and investigates the damage and collapse pattern of poles under earthquake excitations. To this end, detailed finite element models of the H-type reinforced concrete poles are developed and verified using past experimental studies as well as the observed damage in previous earthquakes. The models are then subjected to nonlinear static analyses to study the effect of the loading pattern, loading direction, concrete strength, and failure criteria on the capacity and the collapse pattern of the pole. Next, incremental dynamic analysis is carried out to investigate... 

    Data-driven joint TEP-BESS co-planning scheme to relieve transmission lines congestion: A min-max regret method

    , Article Sustainable Energy Technologies and Assessments ; Volume 53 , 2022 ; 22131388 (ISSN) Mazaheri, H ; Moeini Aghtaie, M ; Sharif University of Technology
    Elsevier Ltd  2022
    Abstract
    Transmission lines congestion has recently been a vital challenge in power systems operation due to the intermittent outputs of renewable energy sources (RES). Therefore, an efficient transmission congestion management (TCM) method should be defined to deal with the congestion issue. This paper aims to propose a simultaneous linearized two-stage TEP-BESS co-planning optimization model to relieve transmission lines congestion. In doing so, a novel TCM structure is suggested in a pool-based deregulated data-driven optimal power flows (D-OPF) by the computationally effective min-max regret method to consider future scenarios of generating units and demanded loads. To improve the efficiency of...
