Energy
Centre for Advanced Photovoltaics
Founded in 2017 with support from the Czech government and the EU Structural and Investment Funds, CAP is an interdisciplinary research centre at CTU, linking the Faculties of Electrical Engineering, Architecture and Nuclear Sciences & Physical Engineering, as well as the University Centre for Energy Efficient Buildings.
Photovoltaics
The group mainly deals with diagnostics of photovoltaic cells and modules using new and standard methods. It also focuses on the optimization of photovoltaic (PV) systems and the possibilities of effective utilization of electrochemical sources in existing and new PV systems.
Heavy-current discharge group
The group conducts basic research of hot and dense plasmas, especially research into heavy-current discharges similar to lightning. Heavy-current discharge type z-pinch or plasma focus are characterized by their high efficiency of conversion of electric energy into the energy of plasma.
