Investment into renewable energy in Sub-Saharan Africa
Bursová, Katarína ; Pavlík, Petr (advisor) ; Kašpar, Václav (referee)
The main goal of master thesis is to proof that investment into renewable energy may have a positive impact on standard of living for local community and the region of Sub-Saharan Africa. The thesis is divided into three main chapters, while the first one is dedicated to detailed analysis of renewable energies, demographic and geographical indicators, the second one is focused on investment and financing of energy projects. The last chapter leads readers through case study of small hydropower plant into findings that are essential in proving the main idea of whole thesis.

The future of conventional energetics in the Transformation to a low carbon EU economy
Szarvasová, Jana ; Vondrušková, Barbora (advisor) ; Machytka, Daniel (referee)
Thesis has the aim to explore by usage of problem of global warming the interaction between two decarbonisation instruments of the European economy. The first instrument is the European emissions trading system, and the second one is a binding target share of renewable energy sources in the final energy consumption by 2020 distributed to national commitments. The thesis is divided into four chapters: the first one describes the issue of global warming, the second one characterizes the EU ETS, and third one shows the implementation of RES and the last chapter explores the interaction of the EU ETS and RES.

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.

Germany's energy policy and its influence on industry
Zatloukalová, Hana ; Bič, Josef (advisor) ; Antal, Jarolím (referee)
The Master's thesis deals with the question of Germany's energy policy and its impact on industry. The main objective is to assess the current situation of energy policy in Germany through verbal analysis and analysis of risks and challenges that Germany is facing today. Energy policy is assessed on the basis of a move away from nuclear energy and the transition to renewables. A partial objective is to assess the potential consequences of the energy transformation and their impact on Germany's industry, competitiveness, labor market and climate goals. The work also deals with the evaluation of the energy mix in Germany and a summary of events leading up to the actual change in the direction of energy policy.

Possibility of Increasing the Share of fast-growing trees in the Local Energy selected Municipalities
Pátková, Michaela ; Syrovátka, Oldřich (advisor) ; Hora, Petr (referee)
The work on "Options increase the share of fast-growing tree species in selected local energy community" to deal with the question of under what conditions it would be possible to increase the share of fast-growing wood (RRD) in the local community energy Stržanov. In the theoretical part summarizes the particular information about renewable energy and the cultivation of fast growing trees, she is also the issue of ecological stability of the landscape to which RRD production contributes to the business plan. Investigation of the village Stržanov focused primarily on the present structure of resources, fuel and attitudes of the population towards the possible introduction offers fast growing trees grown on agricultural land. The practical part is the calculation of the area of SRC plantations to supply the village Stržanov and their impact on the value of the coefficient of ecological stability (KES).

The future of solar power plants in the Czech Republic
Choutka, Tomáš ; Zemplinerová, Alena (advisor) ; Koubek, Ivo (referee)
The thesis called "The Future of Solar Power Plants in the Czech Republic" is oriented to the characteristics of production of electric energy in solar power plants which are supported by many legislative incentives. We are currently standing in the situation of reducing energy tariffs for production of electricity from solar power plants in most European countries because of their unbearable impact on consumers and national budgets. The aim of this thesis is to analyze impacts of the energy tariffs for solar energy and to explain increase of installed capacity of solar power plants by forming a model for calculating financial return of an investment in construction of solar panels. The thesis points out that the incentives are still very high and interest in construction of solar power plants will probably endure even in the future as long as these favorable legislative conditions are set. This situation will result in bringing more additional costs for the end-users of electric energy.

Innovation Management in the Wind Power Industry
Gnauck, Robert ; Hnilica, Jiří (advisor) ; Martina, Jakl (referee)
The wind industry has arrived at a state of technological maturity and is occasionally already today cost-competitive to conventional sources of energy. This thesis investigates the process of innovation that took place within the industry. A theoretical background into economical theory of innovation together with a status quo assessment of today's wind industry serves as introduction to the topic. In the analytical part, inducement mechanisms and functions of technological development will be identified as crucial drivers for innovation within the sector. The key findings of this thesis lead to conclude that it is now the responsibility of the industry to becoming fully cost-competitive to conventional sources. The advancement of technological lifecycle will primarily depend on turbine manufacturers and their capability to drive innovation more independently from governments.

Evaluation of the impact of solar power plants on the environment
KRÝCHA, Marek
The number of solar power plants in the Czech Republic increased from 249 in 2009 to 12 861 in 2010. This rapid growth was caused by subsidies such as so called green bonus and high feed-in tariff with 20 years guarantee. The aim of this thesis was to evaluate positives and negatives of this technology with regard to the environment. As a model example, the data from the Bušanovice solar power plant were used for evaluation. The price evolution and affordability of photovoltaic technology was evaluated according to the investment and running costs and profit. Estimation of the situation after 20 years of operation and the amount of reduced CO2 emissions were also included in the evaluation. It has been found that the most used photovoltaic technologies possess ecological risk. Solar power plant has the minimum maintenance demands and does not produce any noise emissions or the dangerous substances. Problem however is in the agriculture land occupation and disruption in the landscape throughput and landscape character. The current legislation also does not solve the problem of ecological liquidation of the solar power plants. It can also be concluded that the photovoltaic technologies are becoming more affordable.
