Wind Energy Use on Flat Roofs of Buildings
Tůmová, Eliška ; Kabrhel,, Michal (referee) ; Horák, Petr (referee) ; Hirš, Jiří (advisor)
The PhD thesis is focused on determination of the method by which it is possible to specify the wind energy use potential on building flat roofs. In response to the need to reduce the production of CO2 emissions and increase energy self-sufficiency, it is necessary to use alternative energy supply systems and renewable resources as much as possible. Long-term and short-term wind parameters were measured to verify the of the resulting simulation velocity flow images. Based on the defined input parameters and the completed simulation, the resulting value of the potential is determined, namely the possible production of electricity for selected small wind power plants on the roof of the selected building during one year. In the thesis the individual steps of the method are stated and the verification of the established method is determined.

Hydrogen production from renewable energy source
Lakva, Petr ; Baláš, Marek (referee) ; Jícha, Jaroslav (advisor)
Hydrogen, as a form of storage for the excess energy from renewable sources, is a technically and economically viable option. However, the technology is not mature enough to compete with the other renewable energy possibilities. In this thesis, a study based on coupling two 330 kW wind-turbines with an NELP. 40 electrolyzer this connection should improve the utilization of wind power. In this thesis are two options of energy utilization. The energy produced by the wind-turbine is stored in the form, of hydrogen and is then delivered for consumption at variable power through a fuel cell, second option is use of produced hydrogen as alternative fuel for cars. This study is a general introduction for the wind energy system with hydrogen storage. Future studies should be more complex and detailed in order to understand and model the system with greater accuracy and to increase the possibility for the utilization of wind energy to generate hydrogen. This would enhance wind power competitiveness and sustain the continuously changing world energy demands.

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.

Control Processes in Energy Systems with Alternative Power Sources
Morávek, Jan ; Kolcun, Michal (referee) ; Braciník, Peter (referee) ; Mastný, Petr (advisor)
The dissertation is an publication summary focused on the field of management processes in renewable energy systems, mathematical models and optimization possibilities for large and small scale photovoltaic systems. The articles were published in foreign impacted and reviewd journals and indexed proceedings of foreign and domestic conferences. The main results of the dissertation are the design, configuration and realization of the hybrid energy system with subsequent optimization. Using the data from the laboratory system, a mathematical model was compiled and subsequently validated in the Matlab/Simulink environment for a hybrid energy system with accumulation. The options for power production optimization with photovoltaic sources are based on both operational measurements (for commercial applications) and on the analysis of power flow controllers to optimize the~energy balance (for small scale applications in private buildings).

Energy supply of mountain cottage
Flöhsler, Tomáš ; Martinec, Jiří (referee) ; Pospíšil, Jiří (advisor)
The aim of this Graduation Thesis is to devise a system of energy supply intended to provide supply of electric and heat energy to a vacation property. The main feature of this energy supply project stands for a shift from mains power supply to alternative energy supply using renewable resources. The reason for this change is the fustiness of power lines and their negative effect on the surrounding landscape. Due to the fact that authorities did not permit renovation of these power lines, the only way to preserve the functionality of the vacation property is to secure its power supply by employing renewable resources. The vacation property (a mountain cottage) is located in Hrubý Jeseník Mountains, approximately 15 kilometers from the town of Šumperk. The thesis also contains a description of the way outlying settlements are currently supplied with energy, including the possibility of accumulation and a brief description of each electrical appliance’s power consumption. In the design itself, I calculated the necessary collector surface and analyzed the most effective collector placement. As for the wind energy system, I had to found the best spot to place the turbine. Last but not least, the thesis contains the technical-economical comparison of the proposed alternatives.
