Impact Map Development of Distribution Systems Highly Penetrated with Local Generation Granted By: The Scientific and Technological Research Council of Turkey, USD 85,500 Position: Research Scholar An impact map has been brought out to guide the local generators placement strategies of distribution network operators and delaying investments required by the changing traditional distribution networks. The size of the local generators that can be added to any location in the distribution network has been determined and also the distribution network operation conditions have been examined when the generator location is designated.

Developing Experimental Platform for Practical Programming - GTU- Scientific Research Project The project aims to make the learning of the C/C++ programming language easier and faster in “Introduction to Computer” and “Introduction to Programming” courses given at the beginning of electronic engineering education. In the project, the instructional modules that facilitate the understanding of the programming in the laboratory have been developed. These modules were created on an “experimental platform” with the microprocessor-based card, Arduino.
