The objective of this thesis is to analyze the power harmonic distortion of a steel factory and to mitigate the distortion by passive filters. The mathematical harmonic model of the industrial power system is built according to the power system network and the substation load characteristics of the steel factory. The substation load is converted as equivalent impedance, the harmonic voltage and harmonic current, and the total harmonic distortion of bus voltages and currents are then derived by the harmonic load flow analysis with the actual harmonic current data of the converters, cycloconverters, and VVVF in the plant. Due to the dynamic load behavior the stochastic harmonic current generated by various components is varied with the operation modes of all plants. To investigate the harmonic distortion of the steel factory with statistics oriented manner, the stochastic harmonic load flow analysis is executed to find the 95% confidential interval of system harmonic distortion.By this way, the effectiveness of passive filters for mitigation of harmonic distortion can be evaluated more accurately as compared to the conventional harmonic load flow analysis.

Thesis aims to elaborate the urbanism ideology developed in the early republican period of Turkey and its reflection on the development of factory campuses. In Turkey after the Ottoman Empire, new state with its own ideology has impact on shaping urban space, politics of urban forms development, urban morphology and urban metamorphosis. This thesis examines various factory campuses designed and built after the establishment of the Turkish Republic, and focuses on a later campus development / namely Iskenderun Iron and Steel Factory Campus. The study notes the dissolution of factory-housing togetherness, and points to the design values in the case study presented.
