Thermoelectric generator for flue-gas duct of boiler to convert low-temperature waste heat to electricity
Třináctý, Jiří ; Baláš, Marek (referee) ; Brázdil, Marian (advisor)
With the dwindling supply of fossil fuels is increasing interest in the most efficient use of primary energy sources. In many of today's devices leaving a considerable part of the fuel energy wasted in the form of waste heat. As a partial solution suitable to demonstrate the application of thermoelectric generator, or devices that convert heat energy directly into electrical energy. The trend in recent years shows the growing interest in this technology and the development of new thermoelectric materials. In addition to the use of waste heat thermoelectric generators can be found in a number of other applications, primarily as a source of electricity in conditions where required minimal maintenance, reliability, reliability and durability. Text is divided into three parts: a theoretical part, the part dealing with the design and implementation of the generator, and a final evaluation. The theoretical part includes a description of the basic thermoelectric phenomena, thermoelectric materials and their properties, a description of the main components of thermoelectric generators and applications in which the thermoelectric conversion uses. Part of the design and implementation deals with the design of thermoelectric generator for chimney flue and comparison of the proposal with real measured values.

Interiors of small and medium enterprises as a source of waste heat for a heat pump
Valachovič, Filip ; Miklas, Václav (referee) ; Máša, Vítězslav (advisor)
Environmental problems and the recent high rise in energy prices are forcing us to look for more sophisticated and more energy-efficient solutions. As a result, more and more renewable energy sources and waste heat are being used. Sources of waste heat, which have so far remained outside the area of interest, such as waste heat contained in the air of industrial interiors, are thus becoming the subject of interest. This waste heat undoubtedly has huge potential in many industries. The use of waste heat is always complemented by a certain technology. In terms of operating costs and the environment, the heat pump seems to be a perspective solution. The main goal of the presented thesis is to evaluate the application potential of heat pumps for the use of waste heat contained in the air of the interiors of small and medium enterprises. The first part deals with an overview of available technologies for the use of waste heat, introduction to heat pump technology, the issue of heat load of industrial buildings and due to the possibility of using a heat pump for cooling the interior, attention is also paid to hygienic requirements for the quality of the interior. The second part of the work presents a conceptual design of the integration of the heat pump into the selected process – laundry facility. The methodology of the solution consists of the selection and analysis of the process in terms of heat energy, heat pump design, economic analysis, and evaluation of the achieved results. The currently available waste heat in the air of the examined laundry corresponds to 37 kJ and the heat load corresponds to the heat output of 526 kW. The minimum heat output of the heat pump for heating 4.3 m3 of water per hour corresponds to 170 kW at a compressor electrical input of approximately 23 kW. This parameters, current energy prices, an estimated investment of CZK 1.5 million and compared to water heating by natural gas combustion give a payback return in less than 6 months. Given the current energy prices, it can be stated that the heat pump is the optimal solution in this case. It is surprising that no work on this topic has been created yet and it can be stated that the diploma thesis presents a completely unique solution with a high potential not only in the laundry process.

Utilization of waste heat from rectification
Frank, Vojtěch ; Konečná, Eva (referee) ; Touš, Michal (advisor)
The purpose of the thesis is to draw up a model of the energy and material balance using technical and technological analysis of the current state of production of waste heat in the process of distillation. Using these results, subsequently evaluate the energy potential of individual streams and propose optimal energy savings using waste heat. Emphasis is placed on the modelling of the process and the various proposed savings options. The result is also an evaluation of the potential of the proposed savings based on the results of the calculation.

Beck, Michal ; Baláš, Marek (referee) ; Lisý, Martin (advisor)
Objective of this Master’s thesis is to make search about generation and use biogas, with focus on cogeneration and to make search about possibilities of increasing the share of production of electricity by cogeneration from biogas. This final work has also the task to summarize possibilities of increasing the share with ORC cycle and to evaluate pros and cons of this use. Main part of this work is dealing with own design of increasing production of electricity with cogeneration from biogas in biogas station with ORC cycle and comparing this modification with steam engine.

Integration of a technology for digestate thickening in a biogas plant
Miklas, Václav ; Touš, Michal (referee) ; Vondra, Marek (advisor)
This diploma thesis is mainly focused on the digestate thickening in a biogas plant. First, overview of the biogas technology in the Czech Republic is presented. Furthermore, problems with waste heat utilization and processing of fermentation residues (digestate) are described in more detail. Based on the research, multi-stage flash (MSF) evaporation was chosen as the technology for the digestate thickening. The main part deals with the integration of the chosen technology into a biogas plant process. The programming language Python was used to simplify the given task. In the preliminary stage, a complex mathematical model of a biogas plant was created, focusing particularly on the mass and energy balances. Subsequently, a computational model of the MSF evaporator was programmed. A procedure for the integration was suggested using the sensitivity analyses. Additionally, the model of a biogas plant was extended with the MSF evaporator. The key outcome of the thesis is a technical-economic analysis in which the impact of digestate transport price and electricity feed-in tariff on payback period is investigated. The results suggest profitability of MSF evaporator for biogas plants without subsidized feed-in tariff. Contrastingly, installation of MSF evaporator in older biogas plants with subsidized feed-in tariff can be economically viable only in cases of significantly longer transport distances.
