Optimization of Thermal Power Plant Operation
Šimůnková, Radana ; Morávek, Jan (referee) ; Mastný, Petr (advisor)
The bachelor’s thesis Optimization of the operation of thermal power plants has four parts. The first part presents the principle of electricity production. The second part presents an analysis of the technological scheme of the thermal power plant and the possibilities of increasing the efficiency of production units. The third part presents a mathematical model of two blocks working in parallel. The fourth part contains an economic evaluation of the proposed mathematical model.

CO2 Sources and Emission Trading System
Valentová, Helena ; Sitek, Tomáš (referee) ; Elbl, Patrik (advisor)
This thesis deals with issues of carbon dioxide emissions, its sources and legislation related to emission trading. The first part of the thesis provides basic information about carbon dioxide and its production. The second part summarizes sectors that emit the most carbon dioxide. The last part describes the international legislation related to emission allowances and carbon trading.

Environmental aspects of steam-gas power station Červený Mlýn
Šilar, Martin ; Kulichová, Lucie (referee) ; Matoušek, Antonín (advisor)
The master’s thesis deals with the environmental aspects of combined heat and power station Červený Mlýn (Red Mill). The introductory part of the thesis focuses on the current production technology and the electricity balance of the power station. The heat and power station (also called combined cycle heat and power plant) is scrutinized in terms of emissions sources, focusing on pollutant emissions to air in the following chapter. In this part of the thesis the quantities of the released emissions, namely solid particulate matter (TZL), sulfur dioxide (SO2), carbon dioxide (CO2) are also calculated. The calculation is worked out according to the valid Czech legislation. Further on, the current production technology of the power station is compared with the best available technologies according to the valid directive 2008/1/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council concerning integrated pollution prevention and control. The last chapter presents the innovative technologies which could possibly be installed to reduce pollution emissions (especially nitrogen oxides - NOx) to air at the heat and power station Červený Mlýn.

Identifikace faktorů majících vliv na cenu emisních povolenek obchodovaných v rámci EU ETS
Joura, David
The main purpose of this bachelor thesis “Identification of factors influencing price of emission allowances traded within the EU ETS” is to clarify the market pricing of emission allowances by identifying the influence of factors effecting the emission price within the European Union Emission Trading Scheme. The introduction of the bachelor´s thesis deals with the environmental issues of carbon production, I. – IV. phase of the EU ETS and the function of the system “Cap and trade”. The practical part is devoted to econometric analysis of factors forming price. Based on the analyzes, the factors affecting price are commented and the results are compared with previously published studies.

Long-term Sustainability of Combined Production of Heat and Electricity in Small and Medium-sized Heatplants Areas
EIGNER, Josef
Main goal of this work is to determine the factors having the greatest impact on the long-term sustainability of small and medium-sized heat plant systems by using financial analysis tools and applying technical-economic indicators. Heat plant systems are characterized as network monopolies, so in the financial analysis the individual indicators are evaluated with regard to the specific characteristics of this energy sector. The technical-economic analysis focuses on the method of electricity and heat production primarily in order to find out trends in profitability of both of these business activities. The way of using emission allowances of the EU ETS system is also examined, together with its impact on the economy of a company. The long-term sustainability assessment of heat plant systems is based on the ability to generate profit while selling heat for a competitive price. The price competitiveness is determined by comparison with average prices issued by the national market regulator.

Forecasting the impact of auctioning of emission allowances on the state budget of the Czech Republic
Hanák, Ondřej ; Vítek, Leoš (advisor) ; Zimmermannová, Jarmila (referee)
The increasing volume of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere has led to the creation of European Emissions Trading System (EU ETS). This system should also fulfil an incentive function to reduce emissions. The EU ETS also participates in revenues of the state budgets. This master thesis deals with impacts of EU ETS on revenues of state budgets for each member states of this system. The thesis is compiled with calculations of revenues of state budgets. This methodology is then applied to the assessment of the impact of auctioning of emission allowances on the Czech state budget and is demonstrated on three possible scenarios.

Walras equilibria and emission allowances
Kouřílek, Matěj ; Červinka, Michal (advisor) ; Chytilová, Julie (referee)
Global efforts to prevent climate change has been a catalyst for the emergence of many innovative ideas to mitigate this phenomenon. One of them was an introduction of emission markets where polluters share aggregate quantity of so-called pollution permits, e.g., the European Union emission trading system. This work analyses the behaviour of firms and a relation between the European Union Allowances quantity and their price on the Czech market. Furthermore, possible consequences of the EU emission trading system policy on the Czech emission and energy market are analyzed. To do so, we develop equilibrium model which uses an innovative concept of the Cournot-Nash-Walras equilibrium. The model estimates 25 and 14 percent increase in emission allowances price between years 2014-2015, and 2014-2020, respectively. We also find that non-innovating firm can lose significant market share.
