Musil, Miloš ; Kracík, Petr (referee) ; Toman, Filip (advisor)
This thesis analyses the current Czech energy sector. It describes its current state and outlines possible scenarios of its development in future years in the context of the energy transformation. The thesis seeks to analyse the current situation of the energy sector in the country, assess its strengths and weaknesses and identify opportunities and threats for future development. The thesis describes the different parts of the Czech energy sector, such as the electricity, gas, heating and oil industries, including production sources, consumption and emissions. Most emphasis is given to the electricity sector. The capacities and potentials of the different sectors are analysed alongside the possible future scenarios outlined. Part of the thesis is also focused on describing and explaining the composition and construction of electricity and gas prices in the Czech Republic. Emphasis is also placed on placing the Czech energy sector in the broader context of the energy sectors of European countries and includes various scenarios for the development of the electricity sector in Europe. In the context of the current geopolitical situation in Europe and the modernisation and transformation of this sector, it is necessary to build new energy sources.

Steam turbine for biomass power plant
Chumchal, Ondřej ; Fiedler, Jan (referee) ; Kracík, Petr (advisor)
This thesis deals with the design of a steam turbine for a biomass unit in two alternative solutions, with and without gearbox, for a given 30 MW clamp power. The design of both solutions works with the same heat cycle scheme, but the parameters at the low-pressure heater or at the inlet to the feed tank differ depending on the steam conditions in the turbine intakes. In the first part of the paper, a thermal balance scheme with low pressure regeneration is proposed and the steam flow through the turbine is calculated. Both variants have three unregulated bleeds, one of which is led to the degasification feed tank. For both variants a regulative stage is designed using impulse system of blading and a stage section using reactive blading. The work also includes the determination of axial force and the associated design of the balancing piston and gland steam system. Appropriate bearings were selected for the given force stresses. A graphical comparison of the two variants is presented in the paper, together with the operating characteristics. Finally, a conceptual section drawing of the steam turbine was made. The result is a turbine without gearbox with 36 stages and an efficiency of 82%, then with gearbox at 5400 min-1 with 27 stages and a thermodynamic efficiency of 86.7%.

Nuclear power plant condenser design
Havel, Jaroslav ; Kracík, Petr (referee) ; Milčák, Pavel (advisor)
The submitted bachelor’s thesis deals with the design of a condenser for the new Dukovany II nuclear power plant with an electrical output of 1,200 MW. The specified condensation parameters reflect typical parameters of pressurized light-water moderated and cooled reactors of the same power and climatic conditions in the given location. From the assignment of the thesis and the research carried out, the following requirements for the designed device emerged: to ensure the condensation of steam in the secondary circuit in filmwise condensation mode, to comply with the maximum cooling water heating of 10 K, to install the tube bundle at optimum angle and to ensure the competitiveness of the product. For the selected concept with a four-body condenser, a thermal analysis was made and solved numerically by a fixed-point iteration method. The calculation was performed using the EES software. The results showed that a heat transfer surface area of 121,263.96 m is required to ensure failure-free operation of the condenser. Each condenser body consists of 31,400 titanium tubes with a cross-section of ( 22 × 0,5) mm and a length of 14,554 mm. A dimensional drawing is also attached.

Storage systems for renewable energy
Švácha, Filip ; Kracík, Petr (referee) ; Poláčik, Ján (advisor)
The aim of the thesis is to describe the current possibilities of storing electricity from renewable sources focusing on hydrogen technologies. In the first three parts, the question of energy sto-rage from renewable sources, the current energy storage options and the actual energy storage in hydrogen are discussed in the form of research. The last part is practical and its aim is to compare the current possibilities in designing a system that stores energy in hydrogen. Subsequently, the most favorable option is chosen and compared to other energy storage methods.

Steam Turbine to Drive the Crusher in the Sugar Factory
Ruzsík, Erik ; Lokaj, Jakub (referee) ; Kracík, Petr (advisor)
The thesis is focused on designing of backpressure steam turbine to drive the crusher in the sugar factory having the power input of the 2 200 kW. Thermodynamic calculation of two conceptual variations is gradually implemented in the thesis with the aim to determine the steam mass flow through the turbine. In the first version the control stage is selected as an A-wheel and in the second version as a Curtis wheel. The stage part of both versions consists of series action stages. Furthermore, it contains basic design of the gland steam system and the nozzle control system. Both radial and thrust bearings are designed based on the acting forces. The thesis also includes strength calculation of the selected components. The final part deals with comparison and evaluation of the optimal solution. Due to the small difference in rotor weight (m =19,72 kg), and especially for the less steam consumption (M = 4,87 kg/s), the first version can be considered as an optimal solution. This thesis is amended by a mechanical drawing of the turbine cross section on a common frame with a gearbox.

Condensing steam turbine for a sugar factory
Kovaříček, Jakub ; Fiedler, Jan (referee) ; Kracík, Petr (advisor)
The main topic of the thesis Condensing steam turbine for a sugar factory is a comparison of the methodology for the design of twisted blades of the last low-pressure stages of a condensing steam turbine. The work is divided into the five parts. In addition to the Dunham, Pritchard and Trigg methodologies described in detail, the research in the first part also deals with other, briefly described methods. In the second part, a preliminary calculation of the thermal scheme in which the turbine should be operated is performed. An air condenser is selected behind the turbine. The third part is devoted to the preliminary and detailed calculation of the control degree. The next part deals with the preliminary thermodynamic calculation of the turbine, which has an overpressure blade and is divided into seven flow cones. The content of the following fifth part is a detailed design of the geometry of twisted blades of the last stage. The importance of twisting the blades in terms of efficiency is described here and it is possible to look at the issues of the whole process. The profile of the blades is modeled in detail using two methods and then compared on the mean diameter with the third method, which is modeled only in one section. While the Dunham method is the most time-saving, the generated blade shape is not ideal compared to the more time-consuming methods. The appendix contains a simplified drawing designed for stator and rotor blades.
