Energy policy of the European Union and the success of its performance between 2010 and 2015
Václavík, Miroslav ; Hladík, Miroslav (advisor) ; Ševčíková, Michaela (referee)
This bachelor thesis explores the history of energy policies since the Second World War and the success of its performance from years 2010 to 2015. The first part of this bechalor thesis explores the history and development of energy policy and the various communities during the previous six decades. The second part of this thesis contains an analysis of the economic situation in Europe and in main states in the field of energy resources, evaluation the reasons for planning Energy Union and analysis of success EU energy policies in the period 2010-2015 on the basis of three main energy documents: Europe 2020, Energy 2020 and Energy infrastructure priorities for 2020 and beyond: A Blueprint for an integrated European energy network. The main objective was to determine whether the objectives of these documents are still actually achievable from 2016 perspective. The thesis concludes that the majority of the three main energy documents fulfill the goals despite the EU energy policy, understood in a broader context than just these three documents, is definitely not in a perfect condition. The evidence is even the necessity to prepare a new Energy Union.

Analyze of market and development od renewable energy sources in Czech Republic in period 2005-2015
Joksch, Daniel ; Hladík, Miroslav (advisor) ; Lukášová, Tereza (referee)
The thesis analyses market of renewable energy sources in the period 2005-2015 with a focus on the assessment of the usage and development potential of individual types of renewable energy sources. It also assessing the energy security of these types from the technical, economic and political perspective. Thesis is also engaged in energy efficiency and economy of each type, including analysis of the current promotion of renewable energy sources. A topic of thesis is very discussed and current issue, mainly due to the dynamic of energy policy environment at EU level and at national level. The theoretical part describes the issue of renewable energy, related legislativ, both EU level, national level and the level of global energy agreements. Further, the thesis deals with the Czech energy mix, energy intensity of the Czech economy and the proportion of renewable energy sources. At the end, theoretical part describes the Environmental theory as an important factor influencing the development of renewable energy sources. The practical part is then further analyzed the each type of rewenable energy source, their economic reality, energy security, efficiency and potential in the Czech Republic. It is also approched the issue of subsidies as an important element of the development of renewable energy sources. The comparison of the findings and evaluation of this comparison confirm the hypothesis that the most promising renewable energy source for the future development is currently the biomass in the both forms of wet and dry processes.

Potential development of small solar power plants in the terms for ending state aid
Bartošová, Michaela ; Louda, Jiří (advisor) ; Hladík, Miroslav (referee)
The aim of this thesis is to assess the development potential of small solar power plants under the condition of the zero state aid. Work introduces the topic of the development of solar energy in the Czech Republic and the related theory of regulation and the legislative framework of the European Union and the Czech Republic in relation to renewable energy. The case study analyses in detail various aspects of investments in small solar power plants in addition to the analysis of significant legislative changes backed by three scenarios in the area of solar energy. The last part of the study discusses the development potential of investments in solar power plants for zero state aid, based on the assumption that these investments will only be in process in order to meet the electricity consumption needs of the owners.

The current energy policy of the European Union and the Czech Republic. Are we on the path towards sustainable energy development?
Bína, Milan ; Hladík, Miroslav (advisor) ; Louda, Jiří (referee)
The aim of this work is a study of the current energy policy of the European Union. Current issues such as energy security and independence, increasing savings and reducing greenhouse gas emissions are particularly analyzed. EU has chosen a gradual transition to renewable energy sources as a possible solution for these problematic areas. This very process and its impact on the economy are also the subjects of this study. Energetics itself is a complex and difficult discipline, theoretical part, therefore, serves as the demarcation of the issue and specifically states the chosen direction of this work. It defines the important concepts, which are sustainable development and energy policy. In this part, I introduce the reader to my point of view and set individual targets whose solutions I expect in relation with the EU. The practical part is devoted to prove the validity of the main hypothesis. I have reached the conclusion that the EU really substitutes more and more fossil fuels with the alternative ones which is according to the set priorities of the energy safety and environmental protection the path towards sustainable energy development. I have chosen the analysis of macroeconomics indicators of unemployement and GDP to verify the statement that the developement of the renewable sources has a positive impact on the economy. However, according to the achievements, the sector of renewable energy sources has not a very strong influence to be able to affect significantly the monitored indicators in a long run. The conclusion of the practical part is devoted to the analysis of the energetic concept in the Czech Republic, identification of the main priorities and analysis of the position of the Czech Republic within the energy policy across the European Union.

The role of renewables in the energy mix Czech Republic
Koukalová, Blanka ; Hladík, Miroslav (advisor) ; Czesaný, Slavoj (referee)
This thesis analyses the energy mix of the Czech Republic with a focus on the use and development options of individual types of renewable energy sources. It also considers economics of renewable energy especially in terms of production cost of electricity and the impact on the prices of electricity. The paper further analyses the current subsidies related of renewable energy sources in the country and forecasts such subsidies to 2030. The topic of the work is very timely as the future direction of the energy sector is the subject of intensive debate and negotiations, both at the level of the EU and the Czech Republic, namely in the State Energy Policy of the Czech Republic. The theoretical part defines the issue of renewable sources of energy and legislation related to the issue. It also deals with assessing the arguments of proponents and opponents of renewable energy sources and theoretical approaches related to renewable energy, specifically environmental and behavioral theories. Behavioral theory has a significant influence on decisions about the future direction of energy. The practical part focuses on the analysis of various types of renewable resources and subsidies related to renewable energy sources in the country. Furthermore we compare the models of energy systems and energy mixes of Czech republic and Germany, from both the current and future perspectives. We also evaluate the relationship of populations of the Czech Republic and Germany to renewable energy, which leads to the hypothesis that the development of renewable energy sources depends to some extent on political ambitions and objectives of the ruling establishment.

The analysis of current status and risks for future development of district heating industry in the Czech Republic
Juříček, Vlastimil ; Loužek, Marek (advisor) ; Hladík, Miroslav (referee)
The goal of the thesis is identification and analysis of key risks for Czech district heating sector with focus on coal availability and impact of the EU regulatory measures. In the Czech Republic district heating sector is an important part of energy industry. It serves heating needs of 1.5 million households and substantial amount of industry needs. Currently the question of possible brown coal shortage is becoming urgent. Dynamically changing regulatory framework generating requirements for additional investments is destabilizing. The sector is defined, its competitiveness is evaluated and further the risks are analyzed. Based on brown coal market analysis it is concluded that the current market situation can be considered as stabilized. In the long term perspective the question of possible lifting of the coal mining limits remains crucial. It is concluded that impacts of the EU regulatory measures can't be objectively evaluated at the moment. But it can be assumed that most of district heating companies will be finally able to meet the requirements.

Existuje spojení mezi specifickým židovským lidským kapitálem a sekulárními úspěchy Židů ve Spojených Státech?
Ritterová, Zuzana ; Minárik, Pavol (advisor) ; Hladík, Miroslav (referee)
This diploma thesis shows, that higher incomes of American Jewish people are related to specific factors. The question is if there is some kind of specific human capital which influences Jewish incomes and if there is, how it differs from the common human capital. To find out the answer, the earnings of Jewish men and women and earnings of common Americans without connection to religion will be analyzed. Besides proving the importance and influence of education, other factors, which may increase or decrease the incomes, are also mentioned in the text. This thesis adds to the topic by including analyses of the qualitative data gained by the author; it thus should add to completeness of the research.
