Analyses of the breaker/limiter functions for low voltage supply points
Bajánková, Denisa ; Toman, Petr (referee) ; Topolánek, David (advisor)
The diploma thesis provides an insight into the remote control and disconnection of DSO supply points phenomenon. The remote or local disconnection/connection of supply point is allowed by the breaker function. The automatic disconnection of supply point is enabled by the limiter function. Due to the anticipated implementation of smart meters in the Czech Republic in the future, this work contains the comprehensive description of breaker/limiter function with proposed possibilities of use in the Czech Republic. The thesis deals with the current breaker/limiter function use in the Czech Republic and in other countries. It introduces the smart meter installation in pilot projects to analyze the breaker/limiter function use in other countries. The thesis is focused on the technical solution of breaker/limiter. Moreover, it describes the ways of connecting the breaker, settting the limiter, connecting/disconnecting a supply point and breaker operation. Further, the thesis introduces the ways of activating the breaker by a customer and defines in which cases it is possible to limit and interrupt the electricity supply in the Czech Republic currently. The main aim of thesis is to describe the specific possibilities of breaker/limiter function use in the Czech Republic. With regard to the function use in other countries and the limiting or interrupting the electricity supply by DSO according to energy law, the possibilities of use are proposed. Each possibility of use is analyzed when implementing the breaker function or the breaker/limiter function. The benefits are defined for a DSO and for a customer. The proposed uses are evaluated in terms of applicability and valid legislation in the Czech Republic. The result of this work is the summary of information about breaker/limiter function which is one of the new features in the implementation of smart metering. The function installation and the implementation of possibilities described in the thesis depends on the DSO decision.

VST Plug-in for Dynamic Processing of Audio Signal
Zoň, Robin ; Frenštátský, Petr (referee) ; Schimmel, Jiří (advisor)
The aim of this thesis is the implementation of effects for adjusting the signal dynamics. This project includes four basic dynamic effects - compressor, expander, limiter and noise gate. The first part is developed in Matlab software. This solution offers signal sidechain input, display of signal waveforms of each block of sidechain branch, recording output signal and allows storage of output characteristics. In the second part, the effect is being realized using VST technology, which offers the possibility of changing the parameters in real time and displaying and recording the signal at various points within the control branch. Project also includes a brief discussion of the use of such dynamic effects in practice and collection of model examples to demonstrate the use of such effects.

Modification of Vocal Tracks in SW Post-Production of Music
Trkal, Tomáš ; Beran, Vítězslav (referee) ; Černocký, Jan (advisor)
This thesis describes a design and an implementation of a vocal tracks processing application. The application consists of several sub-modules representing audio processors and effects. It is implemented as a plugin created with the VST technology. The plugin provides a simple control system and an integrated database of presets which help mainly less experienced users to significantly speed up the process of processing the vocal tracks. The user evaluation shows that application is successful both in creating demos and professional mixing of music tracks.

Non-linear Circuits with Controlled Current Sources
Dolák, Jan ; Hanák, Pavel (referee) ; Kubánek, David (advisor)
This thesis treats of problems of nonlinear circuits. In introduction the basic possibilities of solving nonlinear circuits are described. Then the basic information on modern current active elements is mentioned, for example current follower, current operational amplifier and current conveyor. In the next part of this thesis the problem of real characteristics of semiconductor diodes is described, major attention is focused on reverse recovery time. Three various types of circuits with nonlinear elements are described in this masters thesis. The first type of circuits are diode precision rectifiers, the full-wave rectifiers containing voltage operational amplifier are most explored, current follower and other active components are described in previous chapters. Simulations in PSpice were executed for each of these circuits. Then the attention was devoted to increase of maximum working frequence. The minimum necessary amplitude of input signal was also analyzed. In the following part two designs of diode function converters are processed, function converter with voltage operational amplifier and function converter with current follower. For each of the diode function converters designed, simulations were executed to find their real properties. The variety of diode voltage limiters and diode current limiters are the third type of nonlinear circuits described, from which the upper limiter and double limiter are investigated in more detail. Simulations were executed for all limiters and their functionality and problems connected with their usage for limitation of high frequency signals were analyzed. In the last part of the thesis there is described the practical realization of precise rectifier, which showed the best ability to process high frequency signals of all investigated circuits. This circuit was realized so that it is able to operate in current and mixed mode. Measured values of real circuits were compared with values gained from the simulations.

PIC simulace pravoúhlých a seříznutých štěrbin ve zkušebním limiteru tokamaku TEXTOR
Komm, M. ; Pekarek, Z. ; Pánek, Radomír ; Matveev, D. ; Kirschner, A. ; Litnovsky, A.
In this paper, we present results of Particle-In-Cell simulations of the plasma behavior in the vicinity of gaps in castellated plasma-facing components. We studied gaps in the test limiter of TEXTOR, which is a plasma-facing component designed for studies of impurity transport and fuel retention, mainly via hydrocarbon layer formation. The castellated limiter tiles have been analyzed using the postmortem techniques and first attempts of impurity transport modelling were done using the 3DGAP code [Matveev et al., 2008]. In order to improve the agreement between modeling and experiment, realistic plasma particle flux distribution needs to be included in the code. For this purpose, a series of PIC simulations for varying plasma conditions was performed by using the SPICE2 code [Dejarnac et al., 2008]. Plasma behavior inside the gaps is discussed and semi-empiric characterization via generic fitting procedure is proposed
