Grammatical Evolution in Software Optimization
Pečínka, Zdeněk ; Minařík, Miloš (referee) ; Sekanina, Lukáš (advisor)
This master's thesis offers a brief introduction to evolutionary computation. It describes and compares the genetic programming and grammar based genetic programming and their potential use in automatic software repair. It studies possible applications of grammar based genetic programming on automatic software repair. Grammar based genetic programming is then used in design and implementation of a new method for automatic software repair. Experimental evaluation of the implemented automatic repair was performed on set of test programs.

Verification of the Vdip method on the physical model of the MV network
Krčál, Vít ; Drápela, Jiří (referee) ; Topolánek, David (advisor)
This Master's thesis is focused on creating of an algorithm which calculates changes of negative-sequence voltages and currents from their instantaneous values. That allows to conduct localization of asymmetrical faults in MV network in line with the Vdip method, which is based on monitoring the changes of negative-sequence components at distribution substations and at a sub-transmission station. The algorithm is being developed in Matlab environment with continuous implementation of partial procedures which are being assessed and compared with each other. A study of phasor estimating methods is carried out with pointing out related problems which are mainly caused by Ripple control and deviation of system frequency from its nominal value. Optimization precautions are designed to mitigate these problems. For elimination of the Ripple control effects a method based on averaging is presented. The deviation of system frequency is dealt with by resampling the original data recordings. The analysis processes are tested by both simulation signals and real measured data. The optimized algorithm enables precise calculation of negative-sequence components changes which is the main contribution of this thesis. The constructed algorithm is used in verification of the Vdip method on physical model of MV network. For these purposes a simple distribution network is created within which ground faults on different places and with different resistances are realised. The results of localization are not convincing which is mainly caused by specific features of laboratory power line models which are constructed with heterogenous parameters.

Earth fault locator testing on the model of unsymmetrical lines
Kohůt, Miroslav ; Orságová, Jaroslava (referee) ; Topolánek, David (advisor)
This master’s thesis is about earth fault locator testing on the model of unsymmetrical lines. The introductory part of thesis describes the function of the selected locator, mainly for the used calculation algorithm of fault location, options setting of fault locator and connection of the locator to the network. Master’s thesis in its practical part deals, with the setting fault locator for a particular test system on the model of the MV line and implementation of selected testing on the model unsymmetrical lines. The first part of the testing is focusing on verify the accuracy locator on an unsymmetrical line. The second test is then designed for obtaining the most accurate information on the distance of the fault, which fault locator can give. The final part is focused on verification algorithm for more accurate calculation of the fault location.

Ground Fault Location in Compensated Distribution Network
Topolánek, David ; Janíček,, František (referee) ; Mišák,, Stanislav (referee) ; Toman, Petr (advisor)
The most widespread system of an earthing neutral point of a supply transformer in a MV network is an earthing through an arc-suppression coil. In this case of a resonant-earthed power system a fault current is compensated by the suppression coil and only residual current flows through a fault point. A value of the residual current is much smaller then a value of an original capacitive current of the network and is not dependent on the fault location. According to that reasons it is really complicated to fast and accurately determine the fault point location. Since nowadays used methods for the ground fault location inside wide distribution networks have a lot of disadvantages, the thesis is focused on a proposal of a new method for the ground fault location especially inside of a compensated network. The main reasons for a consecutive installation of power quality meters into distribution transformer substations are a power quality monitoring and a global evolution of an electrical network onto the “SmartGrids”. In case that all results from the meters are properly synchronized and centralized, new possibilities of control or of an evaluation of a network are enabled. This doctoral thesis proposes the possibility for the ground fault detection with an aid of synchronized records recorded on the low-voltage side of the distribution transformers 22/0.4 kV into the network equipped with automatics for short-time increasing of an active part of a faulty current. The described method uses a voltage drop evoked by connecting of the auxiliary resistor for location of the faulty section. The proposed method is tested with help of numerical model which presents a part of the distribution network Series of simulation are executed and correct function and force function of the method is reviewed. Finally the thesis describes real experiment and also a confrontation between simulation and real measuring, and also possibilities of method usage are commented.

A Validation Tool For The Vdip Method For Earth Faults Localization And Its Evaluation
Krčál, Vít
This paper describes a process of evaluation of the Vdip method for earth faults localization. For purposes of method validation, PSCAD simulation are used. In PSCAD, fault occurrences are simulated and COMTRADE format records are created. The fault records are then processed in Matlab with evaluation of the fault location. This process and can be useful for testing before the realworld application and can serve as reference.
