Programming Control Algorithm for PV Tracker
Topic Overview:
NP-complete problems represent a class of difficult optimization or search problems whose computational requirements typically grows exponentially with increasing the dimension of the problem. No efficient algorithm exists that would guarantee to provide optimal solution in a reasonable time. In most cases the optimal solution is not known at all.
ionary algorithms (EAs) represent stochastic techniques for searching and optimization allowing us to obtain (sub)optimal solutions to many of those problems in a reasonable time but without any warranty to provide the solution within a single given run. Hence a sufficient number of independent experiments needs to be executed and the evaluation of the results to be performed statistically. In fact, EAs represent metaheuristics for which the designer specifies the problem representation, objective (evaluation) function and EA parameters (all are application specific). Since there is no exact prescription how to do this as best as possible, it is usually a subject of creative experimental work. This task is a subject of this project for a problem of the student’s choice.
Task:
1) Make a survey of the problems of interest. For example, see [1], [2] or [3].
2) After a discussion with your supervisor choose one of the problems, make a deeper study of existing possibilities how to solve it, preferably by EAs. For the introduction to
solution of some typical NP complete problems, for example, see [4].
3) Create an implementation (or get an existing one if available, e.g. from github) for solving the problem from item 2 by means of an EA. Familiarize yourself with its functioning and experiment with the solution of some basic instances of the problem.
4) Analyze the results from item 3 and identify parts of the system for potential improvements. They may include the problem representation, evaluation function or the EA itself. Apply your own ideas and creativity to implement at least one modification into the original system.
5) Perform a set of experiments with solving more advanced problem instances using both the basic EA implementation and the version modified by you. Try to solve complex instances as best as you can. Compare statistically the results, evaluate the EA performance and discuss the contributions of your work.
Requirements:
Interest in experimental work, creativity and sense of thoroughness and preciseness. Programming skills mainly using existing frameworks and libraries (C/C++, Python or others). In case of interest in this topic, please, make a brief note in your CV, if possible, which problem you prefer to solve and why (e.g. if you have some notable previous experience). This information is tentative and serves just for information to the supervisor. The final choice will be performed after a discussion.
Outcomes:
A presentation or technical report summarizing your method and obtained results. The presentation would take place as a short seminar at our department if possible.

Measurement of Thermal Properties of Smart Coatings for Energy Harvesting
Topic Overview:
Smart absorbers are multilayer thin film structures based on black metals coated with a thermochromic layer. These structures deposited on a thermoelectric module are suitable for solar energy conversion to electricity. Due to the thermochromic effect, the smart absorbers will avoid the risk of overheating during the light conversion. A measurement system was developed for thermal properties of thin films. The system is based on pulsed laser and fast infrared detector. Thermal conductivity is an important property influencing the effectivity of the electricity conversion. The measurement system needs to be further developed and verified and then it will be used for analysis of the smart absorbers.
Task:
Main work will be development and verification of the measurement system, measurement of thermal properties of different thin films and multilayers and analysis of measured data.
Requirements:
Capability of careful precise measurements with a delicate optical instrument and detail analysis of measurements in specific software.
Outcomes:
