Regarding dynamic development of alternative power sources mutual cooperation of such sources is frequently aksed question nowadays. The aim of this disertation thesis is to design energy system compounded of more cooperating alternative power sources focusing on optimization of energy and economic balance. For veryfying hypothesis there is suggested usage of some simulation software and then compilation of physical analog.

Aim of Thesis: - one of the main goal of this thesis is the more detailed analysis of various possibilities of solving the problem of efficiency and involving a larger number of machines, including generators, - to analyse the losses and efficiency theoretically and experimentally for the individual machine groups, to examine and propose measures to lessen the losses, to verify the proposals on concrete samples, and prepare source materials for implementation, - to solve certain areas of losses which have been little explored until now - e.g. additional losses, establishing of mechanical losses and the like. To use modern optimization methods (SQP, GA, ASA, etc.) for optimization of electrical machines according to the viewpoints selected.

This topic is focused on methods used to calculate flashover rates of overhead distribution lines and its subsequent applying in insulation co-ordination projects of distribution network. A lightning stroke can originate an overvoltage which can cause either a failure in the affected line or propagate along the line and damage other equipment. Insulation flashovers of overhead distribution lines can be produced by one of the following causes: the discharge strikes ground close to the line, being able to induce a voltage greater than the dielectric strength, the flash strikes a phase conductor either, the flash strikes a shield wire or a pole.

Power generation using renewable power sources and preferably at point of demand is certainly way to satisfaction of ever-increasing need for the environmental protection. Nevertheless, operation of such power generation units leads to physical-technical-economical problems like hardly specifiable power supply reliability, huge time irregularity of the power supply for example under varying climatic conditions, generation of distorted voltages, etc. Thesis is focused on modeling and simulation of the following type power units: combustion engine-induction generator, wind turbine-induction generator, Photovoltaic generator-power inverter, etc. The simulation should be performed for their connection to a representative low and middle voltage power grid, with evaluation of their influence on the voltage characteristic for each power grid node. Cumulative effect of the distributed power units over the power grid is significant as well. The problem is a part of research at Department of Electrical Power Engineering supported by the grant projects. More information: drapela@feec.vutbr.cz.

In existing models used for network solution balanced parameters of a three-phase line and load are usually assumed, which - from the point of view of the possibility of fault location in a compensated network - has been found as quite an inaccurate attempt introducing a considerable error to localization methods and leading frequently to erroneous conclusions. Moreover, there are a lot of factors influencing the parameters of a real network, e.g. weather changes, changing value of earthing resistance, frequency change. Therefore the actual way of high voltage distribution network representation must be profoundly analyzed in order to find a new way corresponding as closely as possible to reality.
Topic is focused on the analysis of current and voltage system of a TN-type distribution network supplying star-connected asymmetrical nonlinear load. This case is typical for large majority of LV distribution networks with single-phase non-linear appliances. Under certain but usual conditions, described load-type connected to the three-phase network can cause overloading of the neutral conductor, leading in a worst case to its disconnection. High impedance of the neutral conductor together with the load unbalance i.a. leads to change in phase to neutral voltages magnitude up to the phase to phase voltage. Consequently, increased and at the same time decreased phase to neutral voltages can cause temporary or permanent change in function of the connected appliances. However, up to now there is no uniquely determined and effective tool to protect customer's networks against the neutral conductor overloading and its disconnection. The aim of the thesis is on the base of the analysis to propose function principle of an appropriate protection and to realize its prototype. More information: drapela@feec.vutbr.cz.

The common method of fault calculation is based on condition that the generators and the lines are symmetrical. Real MV netwoks are not operated as transposed that means for sharp calculation there is not possible to suppose that they are symmetrical. The main aim of the work is the analysis of electrical values during different types of fault in non-symmetrical networks and evaluation of asymmetry influence on accuracy of calculation according standards.

The purpose of this project is to design optimal solution for Nuclear power plant restoration after serious break downs. The main stress will be on radioactivity leakage break downs, which caused electrical system black-out. Project deals with optimalization of dispatcher restoration actions under radioactive environment conditions. Several models will be done for situations with different intensity of radiation.
This project intent is to make extended analysis of different ways of grid connections.
