    Doktorska disertacija obravnava optimalno sledenje fotonapetostnega sistema soncu, pri čemer upoštevamo električne izgube pogonskega sklopa. Sledenje fotonapetostnega sistema soncu omogoča, da pri tem na sončne module pade čim več razpoložljive energije sončnega sevanja. Pogonski sklop, ki omogoča sledenje, predstavlja za fotonapetostni sistem porabo električne energije. Idealni izplen pretvorbe razpoložljive energije sončnega sevanja bi bil dosežen ob zveznem sledenju sledilnega sistema poti sonca. Ker imajo pogonski sklopi konstantno hitrost in diskreten način sledenja, se lahko idealnemu izplenu energije sončnega sevanja le približajo. V doktorski disertaciji je predstavljeno, kako diskretno slediti poti sonca, da na sončne module pade čim več razpoložljive energije sončnega sevanja, pri čemer so upoštevane električne izgube pogonskega sklopa. Za dosego želenega cilja so potrebne čim bolj natančne vrednosti o razpoložljivi energiji sončnega sevanja pri tleh v danem trenutku. Zato je v okviru doktorske disertacije razvit model za napoved celotnega in difuznega sončnega sevanja v obliki časovno odvisne funkcije za jasne dni. Model je potrjen s primerjavo med izmerjenim in napovedanim sončnim sevanjem za jasne dni. Napoved sončnega sevanja v obliki časovno odvisne funkcije in izgube pogonskih sklopov, kot funkcije naklona in azimuta, so uporabljeni za določitev optimalnih trajektorij sledilnega sistema. Za iskanje rešitve nelinearnega in omejenega problema je uporabljena stohastična metoda, imenovana Diferenčna evolucija. Tovrstni pristop za iskanje maksimalnega izplena fotonapetostnega sistema še ni bil raziskan v nobeni literaturi. Uporablja se točno določena kriterijska funkcija, ki je minimalna v optimizacijskem postopku glede na optimizacijske meje. S tem je zagotovljena največja možna pretvorba energije sončnega sevanja, upoštevajoč uporabljen model fotonapetostnega sistema, porabe sledilnega sistema, napovedi sončnega sevanja in lastnosti optimizacijskega postopka. Uporaba drugačnih in bolj naprednih modelov fotonapetostnega sistema, porabe sledilnega sistema ali napovedi sončnega sevanja lahko privede tudi do drugačnih optimalnih trajektorij sledilnega sistema. Vendar to nikakor ne zmanjša teže predlagane metode. Predlagana metoda daje maksimalni izplen fotonapetostnega sistema za uporabljene modele in podatke.Doctoral thesis deals with optimal sun-tracking of a photovoltaic system considering the electric drive losses. The Sun tracking PV system assures that the highest possible share of the available solar radiation reaches the surface of the PV modules. The electric drive which enables tracking is considered as the loss of the energy produced in the PV system. The maximum of the energy produced in the PV system is achieved by the continuous tracking of the PV system. Since the electric drives are determined by constant speed and time, and angle quantization the maximum of the energy produced can only approximate. The doctoral thesis presents a new method for determining such trajectories of the PV modules that change the position of the PV modules in such a way that the production of the electric energy in the given time interval of the observation reaches its maximum. The goal is to determine the maximum efficiency of the PV tracking system considering the tracking system energy consumption. To achieve this, exact values of the available solar energy are needed for a given moment. To do this, a new method for predicting direct and diffuse solar radiation on the Earth’s surface, in the form of the time dependent function, is developed. The method is confirmed by the comparison of the measured and the predicted solar radiation for clear days. The developed method for predicting the solar radiation in the form of the time dependent function and energy consumption of the tracking system, given as the functions of the azimuth and tilt angle change, are applied together to determine those trajectories of the PV module, where the PV system energy production, gives the maximum. To find a solution of the nonlinear and bounded optimization problem, a stochastic search algorithm called Differential Evolution is applied. The approach for determining the maximum of the energy produced in the PV system has not been researched yet. The explicitly defined objective function, which is minimized in the optimization procedure considering the optimization bounds, is used. Thus it is assured the maximum of the possible energy produced in the PV system, considering the applied model of the PV system, tracking system consumption, predicted solar radiation, and the properties of the applied optimization method. The use of the different and more advanced models of the PV system, the sun tracking system consumption or prediction of the solar radiation, can lead to the different optimal trajectories of the sun tracking system. However, this cannot reduce the importance of the proposed method. The proposed method gives the maximum of the possible energy produced in the discussed PV system, considering the applied models and data

    Diplomsko delo predstavi efektiven način za oceno in določitev kakovosti tiskanih vezij iz proizvodnih linij. Sestavljeno tiskano vezje zagotavlja električno povezavo prispojenim elektronskim komponentam. Po sestavi tiskanega vezja je potrebno izvesti funkcionalen preizkus, ki zagotavlja kakovost izdelka. Po navadi so proizvodnje linije opremljene z inšpekcijskimi kamerami, ki odkrivajo nepravilnosti, kot so manjkajoče komponente. Takšno zagotavljanje kakovosti v nekaterih primerih ni dovolj, zato moramo dodati dodatno raven nadzora. Poleg inšpekcij s kamerami morajo biti opravljene električne meritve. Proces meritev mora biti avtomatiziran, da se zagotavljata ponovljivost in hitrejša izvedbo procesa. Diplomsko delo ovrednoti pomen takšne naprave, predstavi njene prednosti in slabosti ter njeno kompleksnost. Naprava obsega elektronski del, ki izvaja meritve, mehanski del, ki obsega ohišje in vpenjalno mesto, ter program, ki nadzira proces.The diploma thesis presents an efficient way to evaluate and determent the quality of an assembled printed circuit board from manufacturing lines. An assembled PCB consists of electronic devices that are soldered to the PCB that provide electrical connection. After assembling the PCB, a function test needs to be performed to guaranty the quality of the product. Usually, the assembly lines are mounted with cameras that detect inaccuracies such as missing component. This type of quality assurance is sometimes not enough, and we need to add another degree of precautions. In addition of camera inspections, electronic measurements need to be made conducted. The process needs to be automatized to provide repeatability and speed. The diploma evaluates such a device, presents its advantages and disadvantages and its complexity. The device covers an electrical part that preforms the measurements, a mechanical part that consists of a housing and a mounting nest and a program that supervises the process

    Magistrsko delo analizira vključevanje toplotnih črpalk, sončnih elektrarn in hranilnikov električne energije v nizkonapetostno omrežje. Analiza je izvedena s simulacijami obratovalnih stanj, ki so lahko za omrežje težavna. Kot okolje za simulacije je bil uporabljen model nizkonapetostnega omrežja Brezje, izdelan s programskim orodjem Matlab Simulink. Izdelana simulacijska metoda omogoča določitev največjega števila toplotnih črpalk in sončnih elektrarn, ki ga omrežje v svojem trenutnem stanju lahko sprejme. Kriterij za sprejem vključitve nove naprave v omrežje je amplituda napetosti. Rezultati zajemajo tudi analizo vpliva novo dodanih naprav na celodnevni potek napetosti. Dodatno je raziskan vpliv hranilnikov električne energije. Hranilniki električne energije izboljšajo časovno usklajenost proizvodnje in porabe električne energije, kar ima pozitiven učinek na stanje napetosti v omrežju.The master\u27s thesis analyses the integration of heat pumps, solar power plants, and electric energy storage systems into a low voltage network. The analysis is conducted through simulations of operational states that can pose challenges for the network. The simulation environment used is a low voltage network model called Brezje, created using the Matlab Simulink software tool. The developed simulation method enables the determination of the maximum number of heat pumps and solar power plants that the network can accommodate in its current state. The acceptance criterion for the integration of a new device into the network is voltage amplitude. The results also encompass an analysis of the impact of newly added devices on the daily voltage profile. Additionally, the influence of electric energy storage systems is explored. These systems enhance the temporal alignment of electricity production and consumption, which positively affects the voltage condition within the network
