Electronic parts of small fotovoltaic power plant
Benda, Dušan ; Šťastný, Ladislav (referee) ; Bradáč, Zdeněk (advisor)
The thesis describes the design, implementation and subsequent testing of electronic circuits for usage in small photovoltaic power plants. It focused on the sub-power appliances, battery charging and monitoring of photovoltaic panels. Introduction of this work deals with selecting appropriate controllers for each subsystem and comparison of the proposed facilities with commercially available applications. A substantial part of the work describes the selected controller for each subsystem implemented and circuit design of the individual components of electronic systems in detail. For each subsystem are implemented measuring and comparing the results achieved.

Distribution system support by power management of battery systems in charging mode and charging systems for electric vehicles
Rodionov, Vladislav ; Mastný, Petr (referee) ; Drápela, Jiří (advisor)
The thesis focuses on the power management support of battery systems in charging mode and charging systems for electric vehicles in the LV network. The thesis includes an overview of the distribution network of the Czech Republic, means of voltage regulation and the existing legislative framework for the connection of charging systems. The thesis describes the methods of active and reactive power control depending on the voltage and frequency. The practical part focuses on the simulation of grid support at different penetration levels of BESS and EVC in MATLAB Simulink and the verification of the support function on a laboratory system. In the last part, the methods of implementing the control system for BESS and EVC operating in the LV grid are specified.

Implementation of RTOS to the WSN node
Ulianko, Michal ; Kučera, Pavel (referee) ; Pavlata, Karel (advisor)
Bezdrátové senzorické sieťe zväčša používajú `event-driven` operačné systémy. Táto práca diskutuje výhody nevýhody použitia RTOS v bezdrátových senzorických sieťach. Najvhodnejší RTOS je vybratý a sú podniknuté všetky kroky aby bolo možne demonštrovať schopnosť mikrokontrolérov Gecko od EnergyMicro prevádzkovať tento RTOS s nízkou spotrebou energie a demonštrovať jednoduchú bezdrátovú komunikáciu s Atmel AT86RF212 rádiami.

Wireless IP Camera With a Raspberry Pi
Sidor, Peter ; Botta, Miroslav (referee) ; Červenka, Vladimír (advisor)
This thesis deals with the developing of an additional module for Raspberry Pi and with optimization of the efficiency of powering the whole device. The thesis also deals with the acceleration of the Operating System which is used by the entire device. The first part of this work describes the principles of functioning of the sensors and DC/DC converters. The work focuses on the selection of proper components for this module. The Printed Circuit Boards of the selected DC/DC converters were created in the program Eagle for efficiency measuring. As for the next part, there was created a program for turning on and off the entire device. This part presents a description of the possibilities of accelerating the operating system for Raspberry Pi. The last part of the thesis focuses on design of the final operating system.

The Sensor Systems Design and Optimization for Energy Harvesting Applications
Žák, Jaromír ; Husák, Miroslav (referee) ; Bajer, Arnošt (referee) ; Hubálek, Jaromír (advisor)
Dissertation thesis is focused on using alternative energy sources called energy harvesting. This thesis offers a solution to problems with autonomous powering of sensor networks if primary power source recovery is impossible. In these cases, energy of the external power (e.g. temperature, light, motion) should be used. Proposed solution should be especially used in the field of medical applications (e.g. cochlear implants, pacemakers, insulin pumps). Long time monitoring of the personal health status is also possible when employing automated sensor systems. In this work, there is state of art review relating to the low power energy sources for an alternative powering of sensor systems. It was observed that existing systems are almost prepared for the implementation of energy harvesting power sources. The energy harvesting power sources have been developed by numerous researcher teams around the world, but there are only a few variants of power management circuits for effective energy gaining, storing and using. This area has a huge potential for the next research. The issues regarding to the distribution of gained energy are solved on the complex level in the thesis. For these purposes, a new simulation model of the whole system (fully implantable artificial cochlea) including its subcircuits was developed in the SPICE environment. It connects independent subcircuits into a single comprehensive model. Using this model, a few novel principles for energy distribution (e.g. Charge Push Through technique) was developed. In the near future, these techniques are also applicable to the design of versatile sensor systems.

Design of autonomous monitoring system elektronics
Heger, Krištof ; Houška, Pavel (referee) ; Hadaš, Zdeněk (advisor)
This master’s thesis deals with the design of autonomous monitoring system electronics which will be used for diagnostics of the electromagnetic vibration generator developed at Brno University of Technology. This generator should be used in a practical application where frequent mechanical shocks are present, for example in vehicle or goods transportation. For such an application, the goal of the monitoring system is to find out whether generator is capable of producing enough electrical energy for smooth operation of wireless sensors used in similar applications. The first part of the thesis consists of the autonomous diagnostics system overview from both commercial and scientific spheres, brief description of the vibration generator used and also a summary of commercially available power management electronics. The next chapters present the detailed description of each functional element of energy harvesting system, the simulation of generator’s behaviour for optimal load in three different model applications and the most important part – design of the autonomous monitoring system. In the end, achieved results are evaluated and it is considered whether the shock-driven generator is suitable for use in a given application.
