Study of energy consumption reduction of block of flats
Svoboda, Lukáš ; Šteffek, Libor (referee) ; Ostrý, Milan (advisor)
The goal of the thesis is firstly to get all the information about the initial state of solved block of flats, which is located on the street Merhautova 76/954 in Brno – Černá pole, in terms of constructions, energy consumption and initial state of heating system. In the second part of the thesis, where are discussed the possibilities of reduction of energy consumption, variant drafts of reduction of energy consumption and their financial costs and the choice of optimal variant. Third part deals with assement of solved block of flats in terms of sustainable built environment by using tool to rate buildings in terms of sustainable built environment - SBToolCZ, evaluation of possibility to use renewables. In the end are written summaries and recommendations.

The Iberian Peninsula's role on the European energy networks as a gateway to the global market
Mineiro Gonçalves, João Pedro ; Doboš, Bohumil (advisor) ; Romancov, Michael (referee)
Bibliographic note GONÇALVES, João P. M. (2023). The Iberian Peninsula's Role in the European Energy Networks as a Gateway to the Global Market. 98 p. Master thesis. Charles University, Faculty of Social Sciences, Institute of Political Studies, Supervisor Mgr. Bohumil Doboš, Ph.D. Abstract This thesis examines the role that the Iberian Peninsula might play within the European Union's efforts for energy integration, while also analysing the potential of this region to produce and export energy from renewable sources and renewable gases through the development of renewable industrial capacities. The research looked at official documents and legislation from the EU, as well as reports from expert groups and international institutions to collect and analyse data regarding energy consumption, production capacity and interconnectivity in Iberia and its neighbouring region. The research showed promising data for a largely untapped renewable potential across Portugal and Spain, accompanied by optimal conditions for a large-scale production of green hydrogen, which allowed us to conclude that the Iberian Peninsula can become one of the main hydrogen corridors in the world in the near future, contributing to the clean energy transition in Europe and the European neighborhood. Keywords: Energy, Renewables,...

Conventional energy sytems in numbers
Mičánek, Jiří ; Paar, Martin (referee) ; Vyčítal, Václav (advisor)
Tato práce hodnotí možné budoucí energetické mixy pro Českou republiku. Uvádí údaje týkající se jednotlivých dostupných energetických zdrojů se zaměřením na výrobu elektřiny. Emise skleníkových plynů a další relevantní parametry jsou váženy a použity k hodnocení různých návrhů pomocí Pughovy matice, která umožňuje objektivně kvantifikovat scénáře. Pro zjištění názorů veřejnosti a ověření, zda se údaje dostupné prostřednictvím výzkumu shodují s jejími názory, je použit průzkum. Metodiky použité k hodnocení scénářů jsou podrobeny kritice a jsou uvedena doporučení, které z nich by měly být vyřazeny a jak zlepšit opakovanou analýzu.

Germany's and the UK's Energy Policy in the Context of Their Climate Pledges
Šulcová, Kristýna ; Hák, Tomáš (advisor) ; Beranovský, Jiří (referee)
The main focus of the present diploma thesis are the energy policies of Germany and the United Kingdom. In the thesis, a comparative analysis of both countries' policies is carried out, focusing on their progress towards a low carbon energy sector and on the fullfillment of their respective climate pledges, such as the share of renewable sources of electricity and total emissions. The scope of the thesis is narrowed down to include above all the electricity sector and the technologies that help to reduce the energy intensity of the energy sector. The central part of the text is descriptive, comparing both the general outlines of the respective policies and the policy instruments used. The thesis largely follows the logic of comparing the different approaches to the main energy sources (nuclear, renewable, natural gas) and in part also deals with other important phenomena: CCS and EU ETS. The choice of relevant indicators and the evaluation of trends is an integral part of the thesis. The secondary goal is to attempt an evaluation of the individual instruments and policies. Among the conclusions, the following stands out: 1/ the relative success of the German nuclear phaseout as concerns supply security and the simultaneous risks it brings concerning the total emissions from energy; 2/ the relative...

Three Essays on Electricity Markets
Luňáčková, Petra ; Janda, Karel (advisor) ; Tashpulatov, Sherzod (referee) ; Knápek, Jaroslav (referee) ; Möst, Dominik (referee)
DISSERTATION - Abstract in English Three Essays on Electricity Markets Author: PhDr. Petra Luňáčková Academic Year: 2017/2018 This thesis consists of three papers that share the main theme - energy. The articles introduce characteristics and behavior of electricity focusing on its unique properties. The dissertation aims at the Czech electricity market and analyzes also highly discussed solar power plants. The first article studies long term memory properties of electricity spot prices through the detrended fluctuation analysis, as electricity prices are dominated by cycles. We conclude that Czech electricity prices are strongly mean reverting yet non-stationary. The second part of the dissertation investigates possible asymmetry in the gas - oil prices adjustment. Oil prices determine the price of electricity during the times of peak demand, as the reaction of power plants fueled by oil is quick but marginal costs are high. We chose the gasoline - crude oil relationship known as "rockets and feathers" effect and offer two new tests to analyze such type of relationship as we believe that error correction model is not the most suitable tool. Analyzing international dataset we do not find statistically significant asymmetry. The third study assesses the impact of renewable energy sources, solar plants in...

Somewhat cloudy with a chance of sunshine: Analysis of renewable energy generation support schemes
Bízek, Jan ; Ščasný, Milan (advisor) ; Kracík, Jiří (referee)
Support for electricity generation from renewable energy sources is one of measures aimed at switch of European economies from fossil fuels to renewables. In the past a lot of attention was paid to the theoretical assessment of different support schemes, however, analysis of the empirical data on those schemes is somewhat lacking. This thesis analyses assessment of two types of support schemes in three countries on empirical data. The main contribution of this work is (i) expansion of previously used methodology that analyses relationship between investments into electricity generation from renewable energy and the net present value of such investments, and (ii) inclusion of the Czech Republic into the list of observed countries. JEL Classification E61, O31, O33, O38, Q28, Q42 Keywords renewables, RES-E, photovoltaics Author's e-mail jbizek@gmail.com Supervisor's e-mail milan.scasny@czp.cuni.cz

The Nuclear Power Phase-out of Germany in 2011
Fingl, Filip ; Nigrin, Tomáš (advisor) ; Mlsna, Petr (referee)
This bachelor thesis deals with the nuclear phase-out of Germany in 2011. The main objective of this thesis is to clarify what is the rationale behind this phase-out and whether it was a purely political concession or if there were some other reasons why to do so. It also contemplates possible aftermaths for Germany, caused by this phase-out. Another part deals with possible consequences for Czech Republic, especially for its energy sector. In the first part the attention is devoted to a historical usage of nuclear power in Germany, then the thesis deals with the period around Fukushima's disaster and its impact on German society and politics. The following part attends to clarify the perspectives of German energy phase-out- wise and special attention is given to possibilities of the future development. In the last part the most important outcomes for Czech Republic are being discussed.
