Analysis of Current Higher Harmonics Impact on Losses in Transformer Foil Winding
Žďárský, Jan ; Klíma, Petr (referee) ; Mrajca, Miroslav (advisor)
This paper deals with the analysis of the effects of non-sinusoidal current on the foil windings of power transformers. This issue is important in transformer design since losses are measured only when sinusoidal current is passed through. In some applications, these losses need to be recalculated to account for the effect of higher harmonics of the current in actual operation, as these losses are related to transformer heating. A literature search of available sources that have already described this issue is performed in this work. In this paper, a model for simulation in Ansys Maxwell environment is presented, using which the losses due to higher harmonics will be calculated.

Loss and Heat Calculation of Oil Transformer Top Cover Near Bushings
Trombik, Šimon ; Toman, Marek (referee) ; Mrajca, Miroslav (advisor)
This bachelor's thesis deals with the calculation of losses on the cover of an oil transformer in the vicinity of LV bushings. This is because there is thermal stress and aging of the seal under the grommet and, subsequently, oil leakage. The production of oil transformer sub-parts is briefly described here, and the chapter is devoted to transformer grommets. Another part is also a literature search of eddy losses in the cover and container of the oil transformer. Subsequently, the preparation of the electromagnetic and thermal simulation is described here, where a lot of attention was paid to heat in particular.

Design of fast magnetorheological damper piston group using selective laser melting technology
Vítek, Petr ; Růžička, Bronislav (referee) ; Strecker, Zbyněk (advisor)
The diploma thesis deals with the development of the magnetic circuit of Magnetoreological (MR) dampers with a short time response. To achieve a short response time, a shape approach was chosen whereby the geometry of the magnetic circuit was chosen to significantly eliminate the occurrence of eddy currents. The influence of structures on magnetic properties was first examined on a simpler toroidal core and then the optimization was subjected to the magnetic circuit of the MR damper itself. Geometry optimization was done using FEM simulations. The resulting geometry was made of pure iron using Selective Laser Melting technology (SLM). In addition, a MR damper was completed and its properties on air and with MR fluid were measured, which were then compared with previously developed rapid MR dampers. It has been found that the newly designed magnetic circuit achieves similar time responses as all other compared fast MR dampers and reaches a higher dynamic range than most of the compared variants. The proposed magnetic circuit also has a significantly reduced weight.

Optimization of Control Algorithm of MR Damper
Strecker, Zbyněk ; Kotaba, Ondřej (referee) ; Ondrůšek, Čestmír (referee) ; Šindelář, Martin (referee) ; Mazůrek, Ivan (advisor)
This work deals with the usage of magneto-rheological (MR) damper in the semi-active car suspension. Semi-active suspension can improve ride comfort or tyre grip to the level, which cannot be achieved with the common passive setting of the damper. MR damper has however features, like time response of the controller with MR damper and the control range of the MR damper, which limit area of application. It was found out that especially the time response of the damper significantly influences the efficiency of semi-active algorithms. Current MR dampers with controllers are not capable of efficient control of the semi-active suspension. For proper design of semi-active suspension with MR dampers, the time response must be decreased. Therefore, a new PWM current controller was designed and verified. Also changes in MR damper design which eliminate eddy-currents in the magnetic circuit were proposed. The results of this work should contribute to the better design of semi-active suspension systems with MR damper.

Optimalization of Induction Furnace Operation in foundry Vsetín
Trachta, Jiří ; Nowak, Stanislav (referee) ; Lázničková, Ilona (advisor)
The aim of this work is optimalisation of induction furnace in foundry for company PROMET FOUNDRY a.s. The company has two induction furnances. There are installed as identical construction. They have 2 modes of operation. First mode is founding and second mode is mode, where is temperature in maintain mode. Only one induction furnance can work in the founding mode at a time though. Inducion furnances are in the single-phase connection and they cause unbalance in the distribution network. Near the foundry there is a small network area whitch it is operated by company Zásobování teplem Vsetín a.s. The consumption of electrical energy in foundry so big, that in the year 2009 was made elaborate for Zásobování teplem Vsetín a.s. It was write at Laboratoře diagnostiky výkonů (Laboratory of performance diagnostics), which is a part of Electrotechnic Department at Technical Univarsity of Ostrava. The ordered study was named “Verification of causes of increased reactive energy consumption during transition from electricity delivery to electricity consumption”. The conclusion of this assignment confirms that in distribution network in the Jiráskova area in Vsetín there is unbalance of electrical energy and there is high part of reactive power. The next conclusion is crucial to find the customer who made the unbalance and to set relevant remedy. The last step will be the identification whether such device can actually be effectively balanced. It was subsequently proved that the Promet Foundry was causing the unbalance and that balanced consumption would be reasonable. Promet Foundry thus addressed Autel a.s. company with an inquiry to make a study of removing the causes of the unbalance which is caused by current induction furnaces operation at a minimum possible cost, least possible influence on the performance and minimum construction changes concerning the building. In this thesis there will be some topics. The result of which will be introducing of used heating technology, introducing of company and of effective plant performance and subsequent suggestions of possible unbalance removal or reactive power decrease. Several ways which are being implemented in the industry in order to balance consumption will be described. A suitable balancing plant will be subsequently chosen and its parameters will be calculated.

Pitner, Tomáš ; Cipín, Radoslav (referee) ; Martiš, Jan (advisor)
The bachelor's thesis deals with power losses in the windings of high-frequency inductors and transformers. A detailed mathematical and qualitative analysis of the skin effect, proximity effect and leakage flux of air gap is performed, supplemented with the results of computer simulations using the finite element method. The thesis introduces analytical and numerical methods for calculating power losses in the windings of inductors and transformers and describes suitable measurement methods, which are further used in the thesis. For selected geometries of inductors and transformers, AC resistances of their windings are calculated using FEM and the results are compared with measurements on constructed prototypes. The winding geometries are also compared between each other.

Magnetorheological shock absorber with short response time for train bogie
Šebesta, Karel ; Špalek, Petr (referee) ; Kubík, Michal (advisor)
The diploma thesis deals with the design of a magnetorheological damper with a short response time of the damping force for the bogie of a rail vehicle. The largest component, which slows down the response, is the eddy currents generated in the piston group of the MR damper. A rapid onset of damping force is achieved by using a shape approach in magnetic circuit design. The shape approach increases the distance that the eddy currents must travel, and therefore it helps to reduce them. The shape approach is realized by grooving the core and the shell of the MR damper. The proposed fast version of the MR damper is measured on a hydraulic pulsator and its results show a sufficient time response of the damping force. This response does not exceed 8 ms for the primary onset of the damping force. The new fast design of the MR damper combines the greatest advantages of the technology and enables to meet new requirements for damping elements in the rolling stock chassis.
