Analyses of the breaker/limiter functions for low voltage supply points
Bajánková, Denisa ; Toman, Petr (referee) ; Topolánek, David (advisor)
The diploma thesis provides an insight into the remote control and disconnection of DSO supply points phenomenon. The remote or local disconnection/connection of supply point is allowed by the breaker function. The automatic disconnection of supply point is enabled by the limiter function. Due to the anticipated implementation of smart meters in the Czech Republic in the future, this work contains the comprehensive description of breaker/limiter function with proposed possibilities of use in the Czech Republic. The thesis deals with the current breaker/limiter function use in the Czech Republic and in other countries. It introduces the smart meter installation in pilot projects to analyze the breaker/limiter function use in other countries. The thesis is focused on the technical solution of breaker/limiter. Moreover, it describes the ways of connecting the breaker, settting the limiter, connecting/disconnecting a supply point and breaker operation. Further, the thesis introduces the ways of activating the breaker by a customer and defines in which cases it is possible to limit and interrupt the electricity supply in the Czech Republic currently. The main aim of thesis is to describe the specific possibilities of breaker/limiter function use in the Czech Republic. With regard to the function use in other countries and the limiting or interrupting the electricity supply by DSO according to energy law, the possibilities of use are proposed. Each possibility of use is analyzed when implementing the breaker function or the breaker/limiter function. The benefits are defined for a DSO and for a customer. The proposed uses are evaluated in terms of applicability and valid legislation in the Czech Republic. The result of this work is the summary of information about breaker/limiter function which is one of the new features in the implementation of smart metering. The function installation and the implementation of possibilities described in the thesis depends on the DSO decision.

Systems for remote measurement in power engineering
Hudec, Lukáš ; Mlýnek, Petr (referee) ; Mišurec, Jiří (advisor)
The work deals with the measurement and management in power. Provides an introduction to the problems of remote meter reading, management, and describes the current situation in the field of modern technologies Smart metering and Smart grids. It also analyzed the issue of collection of networks and data collection from a large number of meters over a wide area. For the purpose of data transmission are described GPRS, PLC, DSL, ... Further, there are given options to streamline communication. This area is used hierarchical aggregation. Using k-means algorithm is a program designed to calculate the number of concentrators and their location in the group of meters. The finished program is written in Java. It has a graphical interface and shows how the calculation is conducted. To verify the results of the optimization program is given simulation model in OPNET Modeler tool. Audited results are described in the conclusion and can deduce that using the optimization program is to streamline communications.

Electricity Meters Utilization for Advanced Monitoring and Control of the Power Distribution Systems
Bernát, Jan ; Pithart, Jan (referee) ; Drápela, Jiří (advisor)
This thesis deals with a research of static meters manufactured nowadays usable in systems of smart metering. Static meters and their functions are described in terms of their internal organization, metrology and wiring. Emphasis is given to the description of new functions (detailed measuring, calendar, disconnector, communications etc.) which could not be used with induction meters and to requirements for measuring, for expenditure control, for safety of meters and for the concept description of smart grids. In a practical part of the thesis particular systems of smart metering will be described – AMR, AMM, AMI and their advantages and benefits during their deployment. The thesis includes also a catalogue of meters usable for smart metering, which is based on available information from particular producers. The final part of this thesis gives information about a pilot project of ČEZ company and about another possible functions of smart meters which could be of use in the future.

Analysis of Water Consumption
Pokorná, Denisa ; Ručka, Jan (referee) ; Tuhovčák, Ladislav (advisor)
The subject of the bachelor thesis is the processing of water consumption analysis in the area of building faculty. The bulk of the work is devoted to the evaluation of the data obtained by the smart metering system, which is currently only installed on the billing water meter number 2 located on Veveří Street. The Faculty of Civil Engineering is very interested in new trends and possibilities to more effectively measure water consumption. The conclusion of the thesis deals with the appropriate design of the alarm values of consumption and the possible counting of other water meters in the area and associated faster and more transparent information about the water consumption values. An integral part of the work and water consumption are general information on the need for water for which there are no up-to-date comprehensive methodologies to accurately determine it. Analyzing already measured data seems to be the most accurate way of determining it. Part of the thesis is also a chapter focused on the development of water consumption in our country as well as in comparison with abroad. At present, there is a decreasing trend in water needs that began in the 1990s.
