[pt] Esta dissertação de mestrado tem como objetivo central avaliar o impacto do uso de conversores CC-CC na eficiência da conversão fotovoltaica em condições adversas de operação. O trabalho foi motivado pelos desafios impostos pelo desenvolvimento do Projeto de P&D Light/Aneel 080/2011, que requereu a instalação de uma usina-laboratório fotovoltaica (20 kW nominal) para operar em condições adversas, já que a instalação dos painéis do telhado do Museu Light da Energia não coincide com as condições teóricas ideais para a sua instalação. Na busca de superar os desafios impostos, o presente estudo contribui para assegurar ganhos de eficiência na conversão fotovoltaica, mesmo em condições adversas de operação. A metodologia utilizada no desenvolvimento do trabalho fundamentou-se no estudo do estado-da-arte sobre conversão fotovoltaica, que orientou o desenvolvimento de uma modelagem matemática para obter os parâmetros elétricos de um módulo fotovoltaico a partir dos dados do fabricante, o que permitiu identificar a influência do sombreamento na conversão fotovoltaica. Dentre os resultados consolidados, o trabalho (i) implantou a usina fotovoltaica no telhado do Museu Light da Energia fazendo uso de três tecnologias de painéis, viabilizando experimentos lúdicos e desenvolveu (ii) um modelo que permite prever os parâmetros elétricos do módulo fotovoltaico; (iii) a modelagem do módulo fotovoltaico na presença de sombreamento parcial e (iv) os ganhos de eficiência que resultam do uso de conversores CC-CC na presença do sombreamento parcial. No que concerne às conclusões, a modelagem proposta mostrou-se eficaz para estimar os parâmetros elétricos e simular as curvas características do módulo fotovoltaico sob o efeito de sombreamento parcial. / [en] The aim of this MSc dissertation is to assess the impact of the use of DC-DC converters in the photovoltaic conversion efficiency, operating under adverse conditions. The work was motivated by the challenges posed by the development of the R & D Project Light/Aneel 080/2011, which required the installation of a photovoltaic laboratory power plant (20 kW, nominal) to operate in adverse conditions to match the non-ideal conditions of the available roof of the Energy Light Museum chosen to receive the photovoltaic panels. In seeking to overcome challenges posed by the project, this study helped to ensure gains in the efficiency of the photovoltaic conversion to compensate for the operation under adverse conditions. The methodology used benefited from the study of the state of the art of photovoltaic conversion, whose results guided the development of a mathematical model to estimate the electrical parameters of a PV module allowing the study of the influence of shading in photovoltaic conversion. Among the consolidated results, the work (i) implemented the laboratory photovoltaic power plant that have installed three technologies of PV panel on the roof of the Energy Light Museum (ii) developed a model that predicts the electrical parameters of the PV module; (Iii) modelled the performance of the photovoltaic module in the presence of partial shading and (iv) investigated efficiency gains resulting from the use of DC-DC converters in the presence of partial shading. Regarding the findings, the proposed model was effective to estimate the electrical parameters and simulate the characteristic curves of the photovoltaic module under the effect of partial shading.

The aim of this master project is to design a nearly zero-energy building of a guesthouse with a restaurant in the village Vrbice u Velkých Pavlovic. The project contains architectural-construction part and concept of building services. As the third part there is a design and concept of a wastewater treatment wetland system. The building has two floors. On the ground floor there is a restaurant, kitchen, reception and technical facilities, the premises of the 2 nd floor contain guest rooms. The structural system is designed from ceramic blocks with thermal insulation from mineral wool. Horizontal load-bearing structures and stair construction are designed from cast-in-place reinforced concrete. The building has a warm flat roof. The building has a mechanical heat recovery ventilation. For heating and water heating there is a heat pump and a condensing boiler, for cooling there is a multi-split and VRV system. The building also includes a storage reservoir for collecting rainwater and photovoltaic panels on the roof. The building site contains also an outdoor park, storage with carport and a garden with wastewater treatment wetland technologies and biotope lake. The project was carried out by the ArchiCad and Autocad programme.

The aim of my master's project is to design a new building of kindergarden with nearly zero energy consumption. The project consists of three main parts. The first part is to create project documentation. The building is designed regarding to architectural expression. The kindergarden is split into two departments each for twenty children. It is single storey building with saddle roof. It is based on concrete foundation and under them there is foam glass. External walls are made of sand-lime blocks which are insulated with a contact thermal insulation system. The second part is to assess the energy performance of the building and usage of energy from renewable sources. The building uses ground source heat pump as a heating, air is provided by mechanical ventilation with heat recovery and eleckricity is partly provided by a photovoltaic system. The last part of master's project evaluates the building by the method of multi–criteria analysis. For this evaluation I used national method SBToolCZ.

As energy prices keep increasing, energy efficiency measures have come to the spotlight, especially in the residential sector. In this context, energy audits appear as powerful tools in order to assess the energy use and cost of energy of a dwelling, and identify possible energy saving measures that increase the energy efficiency and reduce costs. This work performs an energy audit of a single-family house (SFH) built in the 1970s which uses district heating, located in Gävle, Sweden. An empirical and quantitavive approach is followed, where energy data from the bills of 2022 together with on-site ventilation measurements is combined as a way to determine the energy inflows and outflows of the dwelling. Results concluded that the ventilation needs to be improved as a way to meet the Swedish building regulations. In addition, the energetic situation could be improved by means of the installation of solar photovoltaic (PV) modules to cover part of the electricity demand and solar thermal collectors to cover part of the domestic hot water demand. These measures would decrease the costs of the energy bills 4689 SEK/year at the time they would provide a source of renewable energy. The replacement of windows was also studied, concluding the payoff time to be excessively long to be accepted.

To be able to mitigate the climate change and disasters that will come with it and to ensure economic growth, there is a need for change. A good start is more renewable energy and less harmful emissions. It is known that solar energy is sustainable and made from an endless source, the sun. However, it is not known how much impact the photovoltaic solar panels have through its entire lifecycle, from extraction of raw materials to End of Life management. This study has investigated photovoltaic solar panels' full life cycle to see how sustainable they really are. Including where the biggest opportunities for improvement of environmental, financial and social sustainability within the value chain is found. The results have been obtained by conducting a literature study, interviews with people with expertise of different parts of the value chain and finally calculations have been made to compare and visualize the findings. Two main ways to improve the PV panels’ negative impact in terms of environmental, financial and social sustainability have been established. Firstly, the study suggests the importance of implementing advanced recycling within the value chain. Recycling a high percentage of materials in the PV panel, and reusing the recovered material in production will decrease the energy consumption and harmful emissions significantly, alongside increasing circularity of critical materials and bring both financial and social benefits. Secondly, moving the better part of the production to Europe from China would also decrease the negative impact of the PV panels, especially the environmental and social impact, the study could however not find sufficiently good arguments for financial improvement to move the production to Europe. To be conclusive, this subject would need further studies. / För att kunna lindra klimatförändringar och de medföljande katastroferna och säkerställa den ekonomiska tillväxten finns det ett stort behov av förändring. En bra start är att använda mer förnybar energi och som bidrar till färre skadliga utsläpp. Det är känt att solenergi är hållbart med bränsle från en oändlig källa, solen. Det är emellertid inte känt hur stor påverkan solcellspanelerna har under hela dess livscykel, från utvinning av råvaror till dess panelens liv är över. Denna studie har undersökt solcellspanelernas hela livscykel för att se hur hållbara de egentligen är. Studien har även studerat var de största möjligheterna för förbättring av miljömässig, finansiell och social hållbarhet inom värdekedjan finns. Resultaten har erhållits genom att genomföra en litteraturstudie, intervjuer av personer med expertis inom olika delar av värdekedjan och slutligen har beräkningar gjorts för att jämföra och visualisera resultaten. Två huvudsakliga sätt att förbättra solpanelernas negativa påverkan när det gäller miljömässig, ekonomisk och social hållbarhet har identifierats. För det första föreslår studien vikten av att implementera avancerad återvinning inom värdekedjan. Återvinning av en hög andel material i solcellspanelen och återanvändning av det återvunna materialet i produktionen kommer att minska energiförbrukningen och skadliga utsläpp avsevärt samt förbättra cirkuläriteten av kritiska material och medföra både ekonomiska och sociala fördelar. För det andra skulle förflyttning av den större delen av produktionen till Europa från Kina också minska de negativa effekterna av solcellspaneler, särskilt de miljömässiga och sociala effekterna, studien kunde dock inte hitta tillräckligt med goda argument för att en förflyttning av produktionen till Europa skulle leda till en ekonomisk förbättring. För att detta ska vara avgörande skulle detta ämne behöva ytterligare studier.
