The goal of the postgradual doctoral (PhD) study is the education for scientific work in the area of power electrical engineering and power systems. Graduates of PhD find occupation either as scientific or research workers including industrial development, either as universty teachers and in higher manager functions as well

PhD-graduate obtains high theoretical knowledge and will learn to solve complicated scientific and technological problems by oneself PhD-graduate is ready for further professional rise with a high degree of adaptivity Graduates of PhD find occupation either as scientific or research workers including industrial development, either as universty teachers and in higher manager functions as well

The graduate obtains broad knowledge of subject of high power engineering. The knowledge is build mainly on theoretical background of the subject. Moreover the graduate will obtain deep special knowledge aimed in direction of his/her thesis. The graduate will be able to perform scientific and/or applied research based on up to date theoretical knowledge. The graduate will be able to organize and lead a team of researchers in the studied subject.

Analysis of spectral filterring inflence on the switching arc digital image quality. Development of a software for high speed framing acquisition and subsequent digital image processing.

   Tutor: Aubrecht Vladimír, prof. RNDr., CSc.

2. Optimization of hybrid power system operation

   The thesis is focused on optimizing the operation of power system composed of photovoltaic panels and wind turbines. The system also includes storage system. The aim is to design and optimize the operation of the hybrid system available in the light at the correct energy balance and economic operation. The optimization process will be based on real measuring in the energy system and of mathematical modeling of operation.
