20 students from Faculty of Information Technology, 17 from Faculty of Architecture, 13 from Faculty of Nuclear Sciences and Physical Engineering, 4 students each from Faculty of Mechanical Engineering, Faculty of Biomedical Engineering and Masaryk Institute of Advanced Studies entered the competition. Faculty of Civil Engineering and Faculty of Electrical Engineering were also represented.
The theme "PlanID"; Planning tool & in-situ design was created by the Kubát team. The client was Pražská energetika, a. s., which chose the theme Reachable Charging Infrastructure for the competition. The team consisted of students from Faculty of Architecture, Faculty of Information Technology, Faculty of Civil Engineering and Masaryk Institute of Advanced Studies. Result of their work is a tool that optimally deploys charging nodes in city streets based on a mathematical model, linked to the design of individual charging stations and their location in space. This makes it a universal tool that can be used in any European country where input data is available.
GasNet, s.r.o. has announced a call for proposals on the Optimization of power production at gas pressure reduction facilities. The winner of this discipline was the Pučejdl team, which worked on the topic "A New Life for Waste Heat". Faculty of Mechanical Engineering and Faculty of Nuclear Sciences and Physical Engineering were presented in this discipline. The project dealt with the optimisation of electricity generation in natural gas pressure reduction stations, using an innovative cycle in which waste heat from a combustion turbine is used for additional electricity generation.
Archwey was the sponsor of the Plastic Browser Tool challenge. The project "Optimum Recycle" was developed by the Štrba team, in which 5 students of Faculty of Information Technology and 1 representative of Faculty of Architecture participated. This project involves the creation of a web application that will help manufacturers to recycle the plastics they use and thus reduce their carbon footprint.
All three teams will take part in the international competition EuroTeQaThon in Munich from 23 to 25 November, where they will compete against other students from partner universities (Technical University of Munich, Technical University of Denmark, Technical University of Eindhoven, École Polytechnique, Tallinn University of Technology).
The winning solutions will then be presented by the students to representatives of the European Commission in Brussels on 19-20 January 2023.
