Parking house of NPP Dukovany
Okounová, Kateřina ; Rosendorf, Aleš (referee) ; Boleslavská, Yvona (advisor) ; Matějka, Libor (advisor)
The theme of this thesis is the design of two parking houses, which will be made in stages in the area of the Dukovany nuclear power plant. The construction site is located directly in the Dukovany NPP site, south of the cooling towers, which do not interfere with the area in any way. North of this area is a commercial area and bus station, which is separated from the land by buildings and greenery. The five-storey parking houses will not disturb the surrounding character of the buildings. Cooling towers have a big influence on this and they are unmistakable by their height and the designed objects will not have a massive effect next to these towers, they only complement the surrounding buildings. The buildings are designed of regular shape. A more prominent feature on these buildings will be the front facade itself and the glass staircase spaces. The main entrances to the building will be marked with a light sign “P1” and “P2” for better orientation between buildings. The layout of the parking house "S01" in the first stage is designed using two ramps located in the middle of the building. There is also a station for charging electric cars, bicycle storage, sanitary facilities, cleaning room and TZB room. The stairwells are designed in three places for easier access of people. The parking function is complemented in the 1st floor with 6 self-service car wash boxes, which are only accessible from outside the building due to the wet use process. The second stage of construction is considered to be the same layout, the entrance to the second building "S02" is designed from the west side.

Conceptual design of secondary and tertiary circuit for a new nuclear source
Valíček, Roman ; Kracík, Petr (referee) ; Milčák, Pavel (advisor)
The aim of this thesis is to create a conceptual design of the secondary and tertiary circuit of a new nuclear power plant in our country, which is preceded by a brief search of particular generations of nuclear reactors. The VVER-1200 reactor became the model for the new nuclear power plant. There was designed a heat diagram containing primary components in this work. After that, there was the balance calculation and calculation of parameters of the main devices of the proposed scheme such as condenser, low-pressure and high-pressure regeneration exchangers and steam generator.

Grid Node Operation after Large Nuclear Unit Connection to the Grid
Prokop, Ondřej ; Varmuža, Jan (referee) ; Katovský, Karel (advisor)
The thesis deals with the analysis of the grid node operation after the connection the nuclear unit. The aim of the master´s thesis is to describe the influence of network´s faults to a nuclear unit. Thesis is dealing with three fundamental problems. An influence of short circuits and power imbalance on the synchronous generator of nuclear power plant and its operation of the island network. The thesis is focused especially on the nuclear unit. However, in the case of any failure in the network, it´s necessary to check other units and their protections in the test system because unit failure could cause the disintegration of the power network. For the purposes of the simulation a test system of the power network has been developed. The test system was optimized in the LUG software, which is used to calculate the power network. Transient simulations are performed in the MODES software. Single faults are configured with scenarios. Results are generated into output files. Analysis of influence network´s faults on the synchronous generator of nuclear power plants. The ability of the synchronous generator to restore the primary steady state or hold the new steady state during changes in operating parameters of the network is one of the important parts of the safe and reliable operation of the power network. During the short circuit the damped transient actions occur. With the extension of the short circuit duration, the amplitude of the transient action increases. The risk of the stability loss of a synchronous generator increases. Therefore, the critical clearing time of a short circuit is being defined, which is the time when there is not any loss of stability. Critical clearing time of research generator is sufficient to turn off the short circuit with the help of its protection (the worst case is 0,8 s). For example, by comparison with the hydroelectric power plant, the critical clearing time is much longer. Models of other power plants have been designed with high reliability so in the case of these faults, it doesn’t cause the disintegration of the power network. Creation of island grid is characterized by strong current surges. Units must be resistant to these surges. In the island grid fast changes of the electrical parameters often occurs. Therefore, units must respond to these changes as quickly as possible and in the broadest limits. For this purpose an island operation regulator is being used. In the case of surplus island grid in steam power plants a dump condenser can be used. This is an important ability of steam power plants because the units are able to react quickly to changes of electrical parameters in island grid. The main result of this thesis is the behavior of the nuclear power plant during various faults in the power network. Researched generator of the nuclear power plant is highly stable against faults in the power network based on the findings. The results allow to continue in this topic with real network and real unit of nuclear power plant.

Possibilities of nuclear energy in the field of energy and media production
Svoboda, Filip ; Lisý, Martin (referee) ; Milčák, Pavel (advisor)
The main objective of this thesis is the possibility of combining nuclear power plants with energy storage technologies (specifically hydrogen production) and the subsequent balance of electricity and hydrogen production when combining these hybrid systems with photovoltaic power plants. With large installed capacities of renewable energy sources, it is necessary that other sources in the energy portfolio are flexible and then it is possible to regulate the supply of electricity from these sources to the electricity grid (for example, reducing the output of a steam power plant for natural gas on sunny and windy days). The regulation of a nuclear power plant is limited and therefore it is advantageous to start using it, for example, in a hybrid system with a PEM electrolyser. Then the nuclear power plant can produce electricity at a constant rate and only regulate the amount of electricity that goes to the grid or to the electrolyser.
