Small wind turbines in urban enviroment
Ondráček, David ; Škorpík, Jiří (referee) ; Linda, Jakub (advisor)
This thesis is focused on the problematics of smaller wind turbines usage in the urban environment. The beginning of the thesis deals with the basic theory of wind, its origin, and specifics of air flow in the urban environment. Furthermore, a search of currently available wind turbines suitable for the urban built environment is performed, and regarding the specific air flow in this environment, possibilities are proposed to increase the efficiency of these turbines. The next part of the thesis analyses the experience from real world applications. At the end of the thesis, the energy gains generated by the selected turbine and photovoltaic panels in given locality are calculated, ending with a comparison of the suitability of these two sources of renewable energy.

Design of wind power plant
Starý, Ondřej ; Dlugoš, Jozef (referee) ; Řehák, Kamil (advisor)
Renewable energy sources are currently a much-discussed issue. One of the possibilities of their use is the production of electricity using wind power plants. This work therefore describes in detail construction of wind turbines. At the same time, there is a brief evaluation of wind power plants, from an energy and economic point of view. Part of the work is also the calculation of the optimization of the gearbox weight and a description of the design of the wind turbine coupling.

Wind power plant
Šponiarová, Petra ; Prokop, Aleš (referee) ; Řehák, Kamil (advisor)
The electricity production from renewable sources is a very current topic. It also includes the electricity made by wind power plants, which the bachelor’s thesis concentrates on. An extensive research study was conducted to provide an overview of wind turbine types. Concerning wind power plants, apart from their visual impact, noise and vibration connected to their operating is an often discussed issue. The construction of a wind turbine stands for the most important role in reducing such unwanted effects. Technical experiments following specific standards and recommendations are performed to assess the impact of wind turbines-emitted noise and vibration on humans. In order to assess noise and vibration of a wind turbine a technical experiment is proposed, which uses different approaches to determine the critical components. The selection of a suitable measuring equipment and the choice of location for its subsequent use are important parts of the design. At last, the use of wind power plants is critically reviewed.

Design of wind turbine regulator
Kowalczyk, Wiktor ; Vrána, Michal (referee) ; Morávek, Jan (advisor)
The bachelor thesis deals with charge control of a lead acid battery driven by 300 W wind turbine. The thesis is divided into four parts. First deals with the issue of lead battery charge controllers and the definition of a regulator for a wind turbine with permanent magnet synchronous generator, including a description of the regulated system elements. The second part deals with measurments done on the given system. Third part describes the design, algorithms and regulator programming and the last part describes construction and testing of a built-in controller.

Aerodynamics of axial wind turbines
Dubnický, Ladislav ; Pospíšil, Jiří (referee) ; Škorpík, Jiří (advisor)
Nowadays, the climate change issue is becoming more and more actual in our society. Increase of the average temperature on Earth in a couple of degrees could have catastrophic consequences. One of the possible solutions seems to be renewable energy sources as photovoltaics, biomass of water and wind energy. This thesis deals with the aerodynamics problems of wind energy source. Wind turbines transform kinetic energy of wind to mechanical power. The efficiency is physically limited to 59,26 %, but in reality, it is getting around 45 %. This is caused by three biggest losses inducted in wind turbines as wake losses, losses due to finite number of blades and drag losses. Based on analytical relationships and including these three losses the aerodynamics blade design is conducted. Later, the numerical simulations show higher values of drag and lower values of lift force on airfoil compared to analytical calculation. In fact, percentage deviations are acceptable and to conclude, the numerical analysis was able to relatively accurately simulate force action of free stream velocity on the blade.

Calculation of repowering potential for existing wind turbines
Hanslian, David
The energy production of considered new wind turbines, that could replace existing wind turbines, was calculated on the basis of data from current wind turbines. The data analyzed include wind speed, wind direction and energy production. The study includes detailed analysis of measured data, correction of discovered inaccuracies and correction for long-term wind conditions (measure-correlate-predict analysis).
