3D scanning and manufacturing design of an engine piston
Ni, Gaoyuan; Bodzás, Sándor; DE--Műszaki Kar
The main objective of this thesis consists of developing a three-dimensional (3D) model of a piston head using Computer Aided Design (CAD) software. Although AutoCAD software is primarily focused on two-dimensional (2D) applications, it was chosen for this thesis because of its ability to generate 3D models as well. After completing the 3D model using the computer-aided design (CAD) software, I traveled to the lab and utilized the 3D scanning equipment to capture the physical piston head. I then performed a comparative analysis of the aforementioned 3D model and the scan results with the aim of identifying any potential discrepancies or inaccuracies. This stage was completed with the help of Mr. Dániel Nemes, who provided invaluable assistance throughout the process. Initial comparisons showed significant differences between the produced and scanned 3D models. Therefore, I optimized the accuracy of the piston head 3D model by optimizing it. Subsequent analysis showed that the error of the improved model was below an acceptable threshold. The third objective of this thesis was to develop a machining process for the piston head using EdgeCAM software. Proficiency in milling and turning machining techniques was achieved by exploring the relevant PDF learning resources available on the official EdgeCAM website and by utilizing instructional videos available on the Internet. During the initial design phase, I realized that the unique composition of the piston head did not allow for the use of only milling or turning methods in the machining process. Therefore, it was decided to use Solidworks software to divide the 3D model of the piston head into different parts. The upper portion of the piston head was manufactured utilizing turning machining techniques. The upper part of the piston head is manufactured by the turning machining process while the lower part of the piston head is manufactured by milling machining process. At the initial stage of the design process, it is vital to determine the appropriate blank for the machined object. Subsequently, fixtures and machine tools must be set up accordingly. The EdgeCAM 3D model is then utilized to determine the specific features to be machined. Finally, the machining design is carried out, including determining the relevant cutting tools, the type of machining (e.g. rough turning, rough grooving, finish grooving) and the specific type of machining based on the feature to be machined. In turning, different operations such as rough turning, rough grooving, finish turning, finish grooving, and cut-off require the adjustment of specific parameters for each operation. Similarly, milling encompasses a variety of machining techniques, including roughing, contour milling, and face milling. The final goal was to optimize the machining process design. I successfully optimized the milling process for the lower part of the piston head on two occasions, reducing the machining time from 51 minutes to 13 minutes the first time and 9 minutes the second time.

Demberel, Odmaa; Nemes, Dániel; DE--Műszaki Kar
This research focuses on the critical challenge of output power-levelling in Wind Energy Conversion Systems (WECS), specifically addressing the application of Doubly-fed Induction Generators (DFIG). In the context of the global transition toward renewable energy, the optimization of wind energy systems is paramount to ensuring efficiency and reliability. The significance of this research lies in its direct impact on the operational stability and performance of DFIG-based wind turbines, a technology extensively utilized in modern wind farms. Power fluctuations, particularly in varying wind conditions, pose a significant obstacle to the seamless integration of wind energy into the power grid. The primary objective of this research is to provide a comprehensive understanding of the control system of DFIG wind turbines, with a specific focus on its capabilities during fault conditions, namely voltage dips. The investigation employs a dual approach, combining theoretical modelling and simulation models to analyse and understand the normal operation of DFIG systems. The simulation model, with an emphasis on the wind turbine model, serves as a powerful tool for comprehending the intricacies of the system under steady-state conditions. Theoretical models establish a foundational understanding of the DFIG system's behaviour during normal operation, offering insights into the interplay of various components, such as power converters and control systems. Simulation models, on the other hand, provide a visual representation of the DFIG system's behaviour, particularly the wind turbine model, enabling a dynamic exploration of the system under normal operating conditions. The visualization of signals and behaviours during steady-state conditions serves as a crucial reference point for further analysis. This understanding becomes pivotal when examining the system's response during voltage sags and other operational circumstances. This research not only contributes to addressing the challenge of output power-levelling in DFIG-based wind turbines but also enhances our understanding of their behaviour under varying conditions. The combination of theoretical insights and simulation results provides a comprehensive framework for optimizing the control systems of DFIG wind turbines, ultimately contributing to the reliability and stability of wind energy systems in the broader context of renewable energy integration.

Analysis and Testing of 3D models and infills
Gillani, Syed Musa Hassan; Balogh, Gábor; DE--Műszaki Kar
In the thesis work, you will be learning about the general effects of Infills. Measurements of each infill such as the general stress and strain have been calculated. Anycubic Kobra 3D printer and Anycubic 3D PLA filament are used for the tests. Furthermore, each infill in the software Ultimaker Cura has been used. Ever since the start additive manufacturing has faced many problems. Some of them include an overhang layer, materials not bonding together properly, and not enough knowledge of the infills and the effects, such problems affect the print quality and have increased defects. The main purpose of this thesis is to understand the effects of each infill where they can be distributed and used in different objects. This can help us reduce the amount of material we use and, in some cases, infills can also reduce the time taken for something to manufacture. The 3D printing technologies with defined infills and uses can expand easily, and such infills can further be integrated into multiple software and help in part optimization. To understand the effect properly, I designed 2 Tests with different properties. The properties included layer heights, wall layer counts, infill density, and top and bottom layer thicknesses. These properties were changed for the tests and the results were observed for differences. After reducing the layer counts and allowing the infill to have more space in the test sample the results were observed. A tensile testing machine with an integrated optical image camera to measure the accurate strength and strain of the materials was used. The final results were compared and the infill effect. The effect of walls was also observed in each test where reducing the wall count more space was available for the infills and a larger difference with results completely dependent on the infills was observed.

Analysis of Spur Gear Design Parameters and Surface Finish for Robotic Application
Abdelfattah, Sama Khaled Abdalla; Bodzás, Sándor; DE--Műszaki Kar
Surface roughness plays an important role in machine performance. The scope of the study discusses the parameters that need to be considered when studying gear surface roughness and what their values mean in robotic applications. It also discusses how gears are manufactured and what the most important processes in gear production are, as well as evaluates the labor productivity of each process. The Smartic M device is a surface roughness measuring tool that is used for the purpose of measuring the surface roughness of spur gears. Measurements have been obtained and narrowed down to the most optimal and the least optimal results. The study established a standard that any Ra value greater than 0.8 μm and any Rz value greater than 10 μm is simply unacceptable. These ranges have been determined in regards to robotic applications. An analysis of the ranges of obtained results was further narrowed down so that an assessment could be made of the effectiveness of the mechanism if the quality of its surface finish was either efficient and to optimal levels or inefficient and problematic, as well as how an industrial robotic arm would behave if the said spur gear was utilized in its system. The study then delved deeper into spur gear manufacturing in order to investigate what optimal mass-produced spur gears would look like in a production system. To do this, the Tecnomatix Plant Simulation software was used to set up CNC, drill, hobbing, heat treating, and grinding stations to produce a mass of spur gears similar to the sample gear that constituted the design of this study. The labor productivity statistics of all of these stations was evaluated during the study and the results were satisfactory in terms of similarity to the gear manufacturing analytical system. Another production system was developed on the plant simulation software, however, it was for the purpose of studying the performance of a robotic arm when its level of efficiency is drastically reduced and when it is somewhat efficient. The results of the simulation showcased that it would be quite realistic for a robotic arm to have an availability rate of 89%, but it would be completely unacceptable for the availability rate to be 48% as that would be contingent to a failure rate that exceeds 50%, which is problematic for any manufacturing system to possess such an inefficient tool in its line.

Comparison and evaluation of energy storage system
Ogunmola, Ifeoluwa Opeyemi; Szendrei, János; DE--Műszaki Kar
Energy storage has been a challenge right from the beginning of the renewable energy revolution, The popularity of intermittent renewable energy is growing, as the storage of fixed and mobile energy continues to be a crucial area of focus. Electricity is not capable of being stored, but it can be transformed into other forms of energy that are capable of being kept. These stored forms of energy can then be converted back into electricity as needed. Energy storage systems can utilize many technologies such as electrochemical in form of batteries, supercapacitors, Mechanical in the form of flywheels, CAES, and Pumped hydro, thermal modules, Superconducting magnetic, power to gas and hybrid systems. This study compares and evaluates the battery storage options through meticulous sizing calculations, clarifying the relationship between capacity, power, efficiency, and lifetime factors especially with regard to the recently implemented Solar Plusz Program (Napenergia’24), and power to gas, potential and hybrid storage options with the use of some formulars and calculations to consider the sizing of these technologies and compares the criteria needed for sizing. The review that was carried out shows that a hybrid energy storage system performs better in terms of microgrid stability and reliability when compared to applications that use a simple battery energy storage system with case studies. Hybrid energy storage system (HESS) is the best option for energy storage because a single energy storage system cannot meet every demand at once. So, choosing the right combination of storage solutions is essential for a system design that is cost-effective.

Essil, Desmond Armoh Annan; Menyhárt, József; DE--Műszaki Kar
The escalating global demand for green energy solutions has moved solar-powered vehicles into the spotlight as a promising avenue for reducing carbon emissions and mitigating environmental impact. This thesis investigates sustainable transportation, with a primary focus on the design and analysis of a solar-powered car. The study delves into the complex interrelation of automotive design principles, solar technology integration, and spatial optimization on the car body. The research journey encompasses four primary tasks. Drawing inspiration from leading solar-powered models such as Stella Terra and Lightyear One, the first task of this study builds an innovative design that seamlessly incorporate solar panels into the car's form without compromising aesthetics, aerodynamics, or functionality. To validate the design's efficiency, Solidworks Flow Simulation was employed for CFD analysis to evaluate the efficiency and viability of the car body. Aerodynamic factors are all examined to strike a balance between reduced drag and enhanced solar exposure. The CFD analysis not only validated the design but also informed iterative improvements. The third task delved into the integration of solar panels without compromising aerodynamics. Through meticulous consideration of panel placement and orientation, arrays are feased to strike a harmonious balance between solar energy harvesting and aerodynamic efficiency. The final task leveraged Simulink to model and simulate the solar energy collection and conversion process. The simulation showcased how energy harvested from the solar panels on the car's roof was efficiently converted and stored in the battery packs of the car. Though not modelled in detail, the prototype exibited very low drag and reduced pressure clouds around many vantage points during the simulation, which speaks to an Optimized Solar Car Prototype. The Simulink simulations also revealed how increased panel area on the body of the car proportionally affects the energy generated. Beyond the technical aspects, this thesis also raises awareness and interest in sustainable transportation solutions. The integration of solar power into everyday vehicles could inspire discussions on cleaner energy sources and influence public perceptions of eco-friendly mobility. Environmentally clean, socially equitable, affordable, economically viable, efficient and safe mobility is only possible through cooperation among the govemment as well as businesses and individuals.

Kinyua, Lynn Wanjiku; Hajdu, Sándor; DE--Műszaki Kar
Finite element method and CAD are popular techniques that support and streamline a number of construction and simulation-related tasks. A scenario where these techniques are utilized, engineers and companies benefit from savings in terms of costs, time, and resources when this software is used. This thesis finite element approach has been utilized in design and analysis. A conveyor belt system is designed and a roller is analysed using the SolidEdge software. As the solid edge software is used for both the assembly and modeling process of the part, it is simpler to modify the model as it is being designed to match the intended size and to identify any compromises that may need to be made in order to obtain the most precise and optimum design. SolidEdge has a simple to use FEM program that facilitates analysis. It provides simulations with meshes ranging from coarse to fine, enabling accurate depiction of the forces operating on it. The simulation module makes it possible to perform analysis and prediction in order to identify the maximum projected stress that can be applied on the roller and put to use in the implementation. The roller displacement can also be observed upon implication of the force. In addition to, factor of safety of the roller can be determined once the analysis is done. The factor of safety is used to determine how much load the roller can withhold before it deforms.

DESIGN OF A DARRIEUS TYPE WIND TURBINE
Patel, Aksh Hemantkumar; Szodrai, Ferenc; DE--Műszaki Kar
To summarise this thesis paper, I will briefly elaborate each of my major check points, and the results I obtained in and amongst all the research and simulations, as well as my own cognitive reasoning and understanding in the topic. Firstly, I introduce and explain what category of wind turbines the Darrieus type wind turbine is part of and which specific type of Darrieus Type Wind turbine. The Darrieus type wind turbine is categorised as a Vertical Axis Wind Turbine (VAWTs), this is due to the way it is set up unlike the usual wind turbines, they rotate around the vertical axis. More, specifically, I focused on the Helical shape of the Darrieus type wind turbine, as to eliminate inconsistency due to the curvature of the wind profile around the circumference of the wind turbine. This allows for a smoother output of torque and rpm that can be fed into the step-up gearbox, and finally, to the generator. Secondly, I ran simulations on the wing profiles I would think would be most suitable for the implementation into a Darrieus type wind turbine, and then perform the wind simulation using Ansys Discovery, to understand its behaviour in similar wind condition to as it would have, if it were to be implemented in the capital of Hungary, Budapest. The wind speed I found and used was 3.67m/s. The wing profiles I chose to perform my simulations on were the NACA 63(3)-618 and the NACA 0018, and compare the two against each other with each determining factor that would affect how it would behave if it were to be implemented on a Darrieus type wind turbine. I then performed multiple repeated simulations to make sure the results are consistent, and output the following data; Velocity, Total pressure and Static pressure. All the results pointed to the NACA 63(3)-618 being the more preferable wing profile between the two, due to its significantly higher value of Coefficient of Lift, and a negligible amount of slightly higher value of drag compared to the NACA 0018, which in fact maybe more useful as it may aid in rotations of the wind turbine as the wind passes by the wing profile. Finally, I compare my results to the literature already published and verify my results. My results show that the NACA 63(3)-618 is the more preferable wing profile, as there are many research papers published that note that they tested other NACA 6-series wing profiles and they performed really well to be used in a wind turbine and commercially is the shape mostly used for VAWTs and not the NACA 0018. Furthermore, my NACA 0018 performance data compares very similarly to the research paper from University or Stuttgart and University of Warsaw and this shows that there is a good level of accuracy between my work and other already published works, which shows that the simulations I have performed on the NACA 63(3)-618 are accurate and reliable. I also chose a well-fitting step-up gearbox and generator to go with the wind turbine design, thus making it theoretically plausible with the NACA 63(3)-618
