Measurements of the stress in the turbine spiral casing using the strain gauges
Dokoupil, Pavel ; Pochylý, František (referee) ; Habán, Vladimír (advisor)
The Master‘s thesis is focused on measuring of the stress in the spiral case of water turbine using the strain gauges measurement. It contains the theoretical and the practical part. The theoretical part includes a description of theoretical background (basic mechanics, measurement and evaluation, strain gauges, pressure measurement, uncertainty of measurement). One of the chapters describes Water Power Plant Lipno nad Vltavou (history of power plant, issues and the history of measurement). The practical part contains a theoretical calculation of measurement uncertainty and measuring of stress on spiral case Francis turbine at Water Power Plant Lipno I (Unit TG2). Measurement was made before and after overhaul. There are described technical data of spiral cases, description of measurement, results of measuring of strain and stress including comparison with the pressure in spiral case and calculation of uncertainties of measurement.

Study of turbine with side channel runner
Jandourek, Pavel ; Haluza, Miloslav (referee) ; Pochylý, František (advisor)
This thesis deals with proposal of constructional solving turbine with side channel. Basis for the design is lossy characteristics of the valve. The intention is to replace hydraulic closures by turbine with side channel runner. Hydraulic losses in the flow restriction in turn replaced by the electricity generation in the comparable characteristics of valve and turbine.

Control systems of Kaplan Turbine
Pavelka, František ; Kárník, Jan (referee) ; Fic, Miloslav (advisor)
The main objective of this bachelor´s thesis is to list briefly the most common types of water turbines and explain the construction and especially regulation of Kaplan water turbine. Second task is to describe individually both regulatory mechanisms and movements in the machine during the regulation by distributor and by blades of runner wheel. The next intention is to describe the influence of regulation on the efficiency curve and further briefly explain and compare the modern control systems of turbine regulation with the old way using the centrifugal regulator.

Draft tube role in hydraulic turbine performance
Havlát, Pavel ; Himr, Daniel (referee) ; Rudolf, Pavel (advisor)
This bachelor’s thesis deals with the problems of draft tube. It contains basic description of draft tubes, their division and possibilities of their utilizations. Further, this thesis focuses on description of draft tubes, their efficiency, losses and ways to eliminate these losses. One part of this work also mentions basic relationships required for computing length of draft tube, velocity of the fluid in the draft tube and others.

Water turbines and them use
Machát, Pavel ; Sloupenský, Zdeněk (referee) ; Himr, Daniel (advisor)
This bachelor´s thesis deals with the problems of water turbines. It contains basic division of water turbines, description of their oparations and possibilities of their utilizations. Further this thesis focuses on description of the three most used turbines i.e. Francis´s, Kaplan´s and Pelton´s turbines. As one component of this work there are also mentioned essential relations required for selection of proper type of turbine in dependency on speed, slope and flow rate.

Strength, fracture and fatigue properties of materials and weld joints from feeder piping of water turbine
Dlouhý, Ivo ; Kruml, Tomáš ; Čupera, Pavel ; Chlup, Zdeněk ; Šiška, Filip
Sets of deformation, strength, fracture mechanical and fatigue properties of base materials and weld joints from feeder piping of water turbine is summarised in the report. There are data from 30 mm thick steel sheet and weld joint of this sheet with the casting part. R-curves have been also measured by loading - unloading method at room temperature and at 0°C. In addition tests of CT specimens in the upper shelf and transition region have been carried out with the aim to specify the lowest (conservative) value of the fracture toughness. Fatigue tests are reported too, mainly based on cyclic response curves and life time curves of the base material and heat affected zone of the weld joint between sheet materials.
