Study of elektrode materials based on manganese dioxide
Kos, Lukáš ; Dvořák, Petr (referee) ; Novák, Vítězslav (advisor)
This work deals with the production and use of catalytic materials in fuel cells. The basic focus of work is the production of samples of catalytic materials based on manganese dioxide-enriched mixtures of different dopants. Samples subsequently made to measure, compare with other samples and determine whether the samples are enriched with dopants better than samples without dopant. According to information received, then determine whether they are suitable for use in fuel cells.

Optimalization of MEA structure for low temperature fuel cells
Chladil, Ladislav ; Novák, Vítězslav (referee) ; Barath, Peter (advisor)
This master’s thesis focuses on optimization of electrode configuration in combination with a polymer membrane (MEA - Membrane Electrode Assembly) in terms of material and technology. The main goal was to create a functional measurement of MEA structures with three different types of carbon materials. The theoretical part focuses on the physical and chemical properties of low-temperature fuel cells with polymer membrane. The experimental section describes the manufacture of catalytic materials with different types of carbon and various contents platinum. Produced by electrode materials were investigated by cyclic voltammetry. The next step was to manufacture MEA structures and characteristics of VA measurement using a digitally controlled load in the experimental fuel cell Quintech.

Design of the autonomous snow groomer
Vespalec, Arnošt ; Surman, Martin (referee) ; Škaroupka, David (advisor)
The subject of this master’s thesis is the design of an autonomous snow groomer intended for the treatment of well-geodetically mapped slopes of ski resorts. Designed design uses an innovative approach to detecting the thickness of a snow cover by an electromagnetic sensor system. The work identifies and presents the concept of solving specific problems of autonomous operation in ski areas, in the form of a design vision. This concept is presented and verified using a parametric model.

Cogeneration units for family houses
Pekárek, Michal ; Toman, Filip (referee) ; Kracík, Petr (advisor)
The scope of this bachelor’s thesis is basic design cogeneration unit in family house. The work is divided into three parts. The first part includes a summary of suitable cogeneration units. For each technology is mentioned short description with advantages and disadvantages. Based on this information was made a conclusion, that the most suitable microcogeneration units are with combustion engine, Stirling engine and fuel cells. This section focuses on legal requirements, which are connected with the application in family houses. The last section deals with the application in a specific family house. Heat loss of family house is 12,4 kW, amount of heat we have to provide for heating and warm water is 41,7 MWh and during the year was used 3,15 MWh of electricity. We have decided to design three different variations, all traffic-related cost and revenues are calculated for each design. In conclusion, they are compared with original state of energy supply to the family house.

Modelling of Air Supply by Compressor for Fuel Cell
Tkach, Svitlana ; Kudláček, Petr (referee) ; Novotný, Pavel (advisor)
The growing demand for freight transport and the long-term trend towards low-emission on-road trucks are driving a lot of attention towards fuel cell technology. Nowadays, computer simulations can be used to analyse complex fuel cell processes, which facilitates the time and cost of development. In this thesis, a computational model of a fuel cell system with a focus on air supply analysis is presented. An improvement in the performance characteristics of the air supply system, and therefore the fuel cell, can be achieved by using a compressor. Based on the initial design, an analysis of the influence of the compressor parameters at the design point on its power input is performed. An increase in compressor speed and isentropic efficiency at the design point led to a decrease in the required power input, while an increase in the pressure ratio at the design point led to an increase. As the result of the diploma thesis, an efficient tool for achieving optimal parameters of the fuel cell air supply system while minimizing the compressor input power is presented.

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.
