Issued topics of Doctoral Study Program
Thema is focused on analysis methods of turning-on and turning-off processes of power switching transistors. A research in the field of current sensors with a bandwith at least 150 MHz is a part of the work. Next to the theoretical design of these sensors an experimantal proof of accuracy of output signals will be required. An application in power circuits with IGBTs, MOS-FETs and extremely fast SiC MOS-FETs is expexted.
Tutor: Vorel Pavel, doc. Ing., Ph.D.
The aim of the research is to calculate and design high speed induction machine for dynamometers. Induction machine parameters are 200kW, 20000 r.p.m. Such machine has to fulfil high requirements for dynamic behaviour, it means to have low inertia torque, high stiffnes, high efficiency and reliability. Machine optimalization using artificial inteligence algorithms, simulation and measurement of dynamic properties will bet he goal of the research. Pattern of the machine will be produced to prove calcualtions and simulations. The research is in the frame of project Centrum and with cooperation of VUES Company.

The aim of the research is to calculate and design high speed synchronous machine with permanent magnets for dynamometers. Synchronous machine parameters are 120kW, 30000 r.p.m. Such machine has to fulfil high requirements for dynamic behaviour, it means to have low inertia torque, high stiffnes, high efficiency and reliability. Machine optimalization using artificial inteligence algorithms, simulation and measurement of dynamic properties will be the goal of the research. Pattern of the machine will be produced to prove calculations and simulations. The research is in the frame of project Centrum and with cooperation of VUES Company.
Experimentaly focused PhD topic which will be solved in cooperation with JINR Dubna. Long-term fellowship in the group dealing with transmutation of spent nuclear fuel using accelerator driven systems is a part of the PhD study. Main objective of the thesis is to propose and validate alternative method for thermal power measurement, especially: get familiar with temperature measurement techniques and choose the most appropriate one (e.g. thermocouple), temperature changes will be within the range of tenths of Kelvins; design and construct tool for temperature changes measurement; deploy sensors in different places of spallation target and calculate integral values after experiments; compare results with different methods (multifoil activation method) and with calculations. Co-superviser of the thesis will be researcher of Joint Institute for Nuclear Research Dubna from Department of Nuclear Spectroscopy from group lead by Dr.Alexander Alexandrovich Solnyshkin.
Tutor: Katovský Karel, doc. Ing., Ph.D.
Thema is focused on problems of exact modelling of losses in IM to express all dominant losees at given torque and speed as a function of rotor frequency and flux density. Then the local minimum and corresponding optimum slip frequency and flux density can be found. This analytic task requires an accurate motor model and also to take into consideration the over-saturation of magnetizing inductance which occurs in real opeartion.
Thesis is focused to nanotechnologies that are used in electromechanical systems, especially with the slide contact. Thesis will continue in extensive knowledge gained in this field of study.

Experimentaly focused PhD topic which will be solved in cooperation with JINR Dubna. Long-term fellowship in the group dealing with transmutation of spent nuclear fuel using accelerator driven systems is a part of the PhD study. Main objective of the thesis is to measure neutron field parameters and power related quantities of an ADS system with conventional methods (e.g.multifoil activation method) and results compare with calculations (and with results of other methods if available). Co-superviser of the thesis will be the head of Czech group in Joint Institute for Nuclear Research Dubna, Dr.Alois Kovalik, and researcher from Department of Nuclear Spectroscopy from group lead by Dr.Alexander Alexandrovich Solnyshkin.
This topic is focused to the measurement of small distances and deformations of the rotating parts of electrical machines. This phenomenon effects machine operating conditions.
Based on requirements for contact materials, suitable contact materials will be investigated in various switchgear design. Consequently, the selected materials will be analyzed in detail in order to find cruciable quantities involved in numeric simulations of switchgear behavior with the contact connection taken into account (electrical and thermal resistances, ..).
