The electric car as part of a smart home
Peichl, Ondřej ; Ušiak, Michal (referee) ; Štětina, Josef (advisor)
This thesis provides an overview of technologies that can be a part of an electric car. These technologies include Vehicle to Grid, Vehicle to Building, Vehicle to Home, etc. The principle, properties, possibilities of development and integration in the Czech Republic and in the world will be described for these technologies. The second part of the thesis will deal with the connection of an electric car to a smart home and its cooperation with other components of the smart home, such as home photovoltaic power plant, control system or wallbox. At the end of the thesis is designed a specific smart house, which was calculated the consumption of electricity for the household, for the electric car and also how much of this consumption can cover the home photovoltaic power plant.

Alternative fuels for SI engines
Balažovič, Lukáš ; Ušiak, Michal (referee) ; Štětina, Josef (advisor)
This bachelor thesis deals with the topic of alternative fuels for petrol engines. The first is a brief introduction to the issue of petrol engines, followed by a description of each alternative fuel. The thesis summarizes the most important information and comparison of alternatives with conventional gasoline is made. Each fuel is evaluated in terms of advantages, disadvantages, and position on the market.

Comparison of Hybrid Powertrain Topologies in Daily Commuting Regime
Ušiak, Michal ; Štětina, Josef (referee) ; Vondrák, Adam (advisor)
The master’s thesis deals with modelling of various architectures of hybrid powertrains for three vehicle sizes in GT-SUITE and compares them in daily commuting operating mode. On top of making of the hybrid vehicle simulation models, control algorithms had to be created to manage the energy split between the internal combustion engine and the electric motor for each of the architectures. Routes to work and back were logged using the GPS and postprocessed to obtain the speed and the road grade profiles. Resulting data was used as an input in simulations of daily commuting. To compare all hybrid powertrain architectures, fuel economy and electricity consumption were evaluated for WLTP and daily commuting operating modes. Finally, the environmental impact of each topology was assessed based on an estimation of corresponding well-to-wheel emissions.

Turbocharger Performance Measurement
Ušiak, Michal ; Janoušek, Michal (referee) ; Vondrák, Adam (advisor)
The bachelor’s thesis deals with recent methods of measuring turbocharger characteristics. Besides an introduction to fundamental performance characteristics, such as compressor map and turbine map, thesis contains description of experimental methods of collecting such data, which is essential for designing a turbocharged power unit. Description of main parts of the test stands and limitations consequent upon the measuring methods is supposed to offer basic knowledge of turbocharger design validation to the reader. As an extension overview of tests increasing accuracy of these characteristics and a few additional and safety tests is presented. Examples of use of these characteristics in engineering calculations should give an image of significance of creating computational model from experimental collected data, which describes thermodynamics of the turbocharger.
