The Sun is our planet’s only source of energy. Sun’s average energy input to Earth is 1500 times greater than that of the whole mankind energy output. Lately we have experienced solar activities progressively intensifying. Do we know primary causes of global warming?

Energy Research Center Annual Report 2006

No doubt, 2006 was the most important year in the history of the Energy Research Center. Not only that grant funded activities intensified but they also have demonstrated mature professionalism dealing with “supreme” themes of energy engineering and economics. The development implied many human, organisational, and technical problems. The most of them could be solved and solving the latter was both highly interesting and satisfying. Solutions for some problems are still pending, as they are beyond the abilities of a higher education research institution. I personally am happy that at the beginning of the coming year I can pass a fairly successful business on to my dear successor. After all, success of the enterprise has been also to his credit.

2006 The year was marked by applying for grant funded projects. They are indispensable for continued activity development and expansion of the Center (ERC). They represent major research funding by the State and without them HEI research institutions cannot function as financing based on teaching activities is insufficient. The Center’s research activities focus on applied research which is reflected in the scope of the grant projects assigned concerning for example the Ministry of Commerce and Industry programme – biomass gasification for purposes of co-generation, fire-place stoves designed for specific requirements of low-energy houses, and fuel-mix combustion for heating. Such projects that are implemented in parallel with industrial partners will also in future represent the basis of the Center’s RTD activities. Also another project deserves being highlighted, namely the recently granted project, Progressive Power Engineering Technologies implemented within the programme, Research Centers under auspices of the Ministry of Education. Many partners participate in the project implementations: Technical Universities of Prague, Liberec, Pilsen, Ostrava, and UJV Řež. The objective is to strengthen research and technical development of modern energy resources. Acquisitions of new grant project funding have considerably strengthened the ERC budget, which soon will be demonstrated by better technical and experimental facilities installed at the Center. The range of research tasks has also expanded implying hiring of new researchers. Two brand new doctoral graduates, Pavel Janásek and Michal Žídek, have been invited on board to look after fixed-period implementation of specific projects. It is a highly motivating job for them, and they are in the vanguard of future developments. Grant project successes are highly satisfying but they also imply necessity of harder work of all the Center staff. It is obvious that improved budgetary means provide for better salaries for those who participate but cause envy of those standing apart. A major reshuffle of the staff was carried out at the end of the past year. The anticipated retirement (1.2.2007) of the current director of the Center, and his only partial involvement in the Center’s future activities implied negotiating of two agreements with the Dean of the Faculty of Machine Engineering, Prof. Petr Horyl, Ph.D., and the Chief of the Department of Power Engineering, Prof. Pavel Kolat, Ph.D., concerning teaching three courses of the subject, Power Engineering Equipment and Facilities, by the Center’s employees. The agreements provide for continued teaching activities in bachelor and master programmes of the Faculty of Machine Engineering. Jiří Horák, Ph.D. and Jan Koloničný, Ph.D. were successful in the related competition of tenders, and they have become fellows of the research academic staff. At the same time in the tender competition for the post of the new director of the Center, Associate professor Tadeáš Ochodek, Ph.D. was successful to assume his responsibilities on 1.2.2007. A controlled expansion of the Center’s staff teaching responsibilities will be further needed. Teaching has been offered to the Faculty of Civil Engineering, as regards provisions for realisation of experimental exercises concerning technical safety of buildings. Also a new concept for the course, Bioenergy Engineering, has been developed, as an optional course for students of the subject, Power Engineering Equipment and Facilities. Both will be subject of further negotiations with leaders of the Faculty.

RTD ACTIVITIES 1. RTD Objectives RTD activities of the Center focus primarily on energy efficiency and rational, environmentally oriented energy production and consumption. Concerning renewable, it is biomass that is in focus of concentrated research activities but also other fuels are closely investigated, like for example coal or combustive waste. The scientific research and technical investigations of combustion processes are oriented by fuel quality assessments, defining of optimal combustion parameters, as related to combustion efficiency, and origin of harmful substances, as well as modernisation and increased operational ability of the standing combustion equipment and facilities. Final implementations concern investigations of individual biomass suitability for gasification conducted by two basic types of gasification technologies with solid and fluidized beds regarding small-sized facilities. Recently developed and built stands will provide for verification of newly acquired knowledge in the field specified. RTD activities are primarily realised by implementing grant research projects in collaboration with industrial and institutional partners. Some national and especially international projects are highly prestigious, and as such provide for developments of further international research co-operation. The Center’s RTD activities combine with those of teaching. The ERC constitutes basis for operation of the training facility for doctoral students, and their participation adds considerably to successful implementation of grant funded research projects. Coordinated by the ERC Scientific Council, the ERC collaborates with new research and business partners concerning especially grant funded project implementations. 2.

8. ERC’s uniqueness in the Czech Republic, its equipment and results The ERC is a University establishment in accordance with the Law on Higher Education Institutions; No. 111/1998 Coll. Principal activities are RTD for solid fuel combustion technologies inclusive biomass, and efficient energy engineering oriented by environmental concerns. Other important activities are represented by boiler assessments and testing provided for on the customer’s or the ERC’s own premises. Within the ERC, an accredited laboratory, No. 1166.3, operates that specialises in measurements of thermal/technical parameters. The facility has also got an authorisation issued by the Ministry of the Environment of the Czech Republic for provision of harmful substance measurements, and training of emission technicians on all qualification levels. The ERC has status of a training institution concerning doctoral study programme, Energy Engineering Equipments. The year before the past year was the year of applying for new grant projects, and the past year itself can be qualified as the most successful year in the whole history of the Center. Never before so many projects were granted or implemented. This implied increased demands concerning co-ordination of the project implementations, and the efforts of the Center’s entire staff. A new development project, Bioenergy, was completed, as well as all documentation for a new specialisation that is currently negotiated. Within the project, GACR – Biomass Energy, regular seminar activities continued at which about 50 doctoral students from 5 domestic and foreign universities participated. The project, Options for Biomass Energy in the Silesia Region, provided for organising a seminar and Biomass Day that focused on cooperation developments in the cross-border region of the Czech and Polish Silesia. Experts and officers of the State administration and public services turned their close attention these undertakings. Developing and preparation works for several new projects were initiated that were registered for application by our industrial partners. Concerning the implementation of such projects, the Center provides for scientific and development sections of the projects. Within implementing two projects, two stands of major importance have been built, namely a (1) gasification reactor equipped with full electronic control and a purifier of gas used for firing of an electric power turbine, and (2) a drop tube. The latter belongs to the greatest equipments of the type in Europe, providing for establishing of combustion kinetic characteristics of solid fuels. In the framework of the project, CPIT, the Center plays the role guaranteeing the division, Energy Technology Center. 9. Employing funding for specific research, doctoral studies The specific research funding was employed for ensuring practical training of the bachelor, master and doctoral students for whose studies the Center is responsible. This has implied a lot of costs concerning operations of the measurement apparatuses and equipment, as well as costs of experimental materials or related sampling and laboratory analysis procedures performed. In the past year, 13 doctoral students of both regular and combined studies participated in the training, and another completed successfully his studies.

10. Quotations in high-impact R&D periodicals To our current knowledge, none of our publications has been quoted by high-impact periodicals although we went through several ISI – Web of Science databases of citations. Nevertheless, it is a common practice that 95% of all scientific publications are never mentioned in high-impact periodicals. Our RTD activities have been primarily oriented by applied research of which the results are difficult to publish concerning the interest of the high-impact magazines. We are aware of the problem and concentrated efforts will be made to increase publication numbers in 2007. 11. Further information and suggestions for future activities Focusing on research of fuel combustion and gasification represents a long-term strategy for the Center’s RTD activities, and it is implied in the majority of the project applications, inclusive CPIT. The long-term strategy of the Center has been oriented by solving problems of environmentally friendly combustion and gasification of fuels, which also provides for principal themes of project implementations, inclusive CPIT. We are planning to expand RTD activities for biomass gasification – purifying of the gas produced, biomass and agricultural surplus product combustion by small-size facilities, kinetic characteristics of solid fuels, methods of parameter measurements and evaluation. We shall continue in our efforts to get an authorisation for testing of products in the Czech Republic. In this year we shall try to expand our partnership network for implementing of various projects. Also the idea of the Zero Emission Steam Cycle will be further developed. Special attention will be paid to participating in the research activities of the 7th FP EU.

TEACHING ACTIVITIES ERC’s research and academic staffs has participated in teaching of master, bachelor, and doctoral courses at two University Faculties: At the Faculty of Mechanical Engineering the ERC staff was fully responsible for the provision of the subject of Energy engineering, which comprised: • • •

Basics for combustion Primary sources of energy Combustion and combustion equipment

bachelor study bachelor study master study

At the Faculty of Metallurgy and Material Engineering the ERC staff participated in teaching of the subject: • Fuels for generating of power (master study programme, Process Engineering) Teaching at the Faculty of Mechanical Engineering also concerns participation in the programme, Energy Engineering; and at the Faculty of Mining and Geology it is the course, Environmental Protection in Industry in whose teaching the ERC staff participates. Teaching implies guidance concerning design exercises and thesis works. Academic researchers are responsible for lecture and thesis work guidance provisions. Seminars and experimental exercises are led by doctoral students. In 2006 these doctoral students successfully defended their theses: Ing. Pavel Janásek, Ph.D. – Investigating parameters that have impact on biomass combustion Ing. Michal Žídek, Ph.D. – Investigating usability of co-substrates concerning intensification of anaerobic digestion Other activities of the ERC’s research and academic staffs: Prof. Ing.

ECONOMIC REPORT

The non-deficit balance sheet and funding portfolio diversity represent main principles for the ERC housekeeping. The University institutional endowment, R&D grants, and additional activities represent major income for the Center. The share of individual funding resources, as regards the overall Center’s revenue in 2006, was as follows: • • •

RTD Projects Supplementary Activities Institutional funding inclusive salaries

67,4 % 15,1 % 17,5 %

In contrast to previous years, grant project activities have increased. In general these projects are implemented for several years, which is of advantage for the Center’s RTD activities of the immediate future, concerning both fundamental and applied research. Increases of the grant funding have implied necessity of providing for co-financing of the total, CZK 3.166 million. This co-finance budget consisted of the Center’s own means inclusive the reserve funds of the past years. CZK 3.5 million of the grant funding have been investments in the Center’s specialised gear equipment, and in the continued development of the experimental stands providing for realisation of research activities. In general long-term RTD project implementations are impossible without sufficient investments. The strategy of applying mainly for domestic grant projects has proved to be right, as the prestigious international project, BIGPOWER, currently under implementation, implies no major financial incentive. During the past year, new projects were developed that have been intended to substitute for those that are currently finalized. The success of their applications will be known in 2007. Implementing of grant projects is the Center’s principal priority. New project tenders are closely monitored. A database of new project themes has been developed and a lot of energy has been invested in developments of new RTD projects. The Center’s subsidiary activities have been an important source of revenue. Comparing the revenue of the past years, until 2006 this was the most important source of funding the Center’s activities. In 2006 this priority was replaced by grant project funding.

The competition in the traditional service provisions, namely authorised measurements of emissions, is tense and still intensifying, which marks a constant trend of decreasing prices. As such much more efforts will be needed to get orders for providing of studies, expert reports and assessments of operational measurements, providing for guarantee measurements, verifying measurements of refurbishments, etc. Provision and delivery of complementary activities have to tackle the operations of small enterprises that, thanks to more favourable overhead cost conditions, can offer lower prices. Regarding the problem, a new important initiative has been taken, namely to ensure authorisation for the ERC Testing Facility (laboratory) for certification of small-sized heaters. Demanding, explicit and fixed time limits orders for expert services provide for deep understanding of operation real conditions, establishing communication with new R&D people, and acquiring actual in situ experience. At the same time the prestige of the Center is gained. Overvaluation of implementing grant projects can hardly occur. It becomes clearly evident that it is impossible to make any differences between implementing of subsidiary and grant projects concerning expertise and investments of labour. Concerning new equipment acquisitions, FTIR analyser inclusive H2O calibration and diluting module for the samples measured has been bought, as well as a module for preparing of calibration mixtures, aperture line, completion of the POP‘s establishment apparatus, calibration furnace for calibrating of thermal couples, and a set for continual analysis of emissions. The INTERREG IIIA programme of cross-border co-operation provided financing of the consultation Center, BIOMASS, as well as the purchase of new computers. As regards needs of equipping the Center’s new building, it might be of advantage to transfer regularly some subsidiary finances in the reserve fund. This would be useful when there is an immediate need of completing or substituting the standing equipment or when cofinancing of the project implementations is required. Nevertheless amendment of the Center’s current Status is necessary to be able to create one’s own funds. In this respect, related suggestions were made and submitted for approval by the Rector.
