Academic year 2020/2021
Supervisor: doc. Ing. Vladislav Singule, CSc.  
Supervising institute: ÚVSSR all courses guaranted by this institute
Teaching language: Czech
Aims of the course unit:
The aim of the course is to make students familiar with the current status of electric equipment in thermal, nuclear and water power plants and operation and control elements used in power machines and equipment. The task of the course is to acquire the basic knowledge on such a level so that students are able to apply the above stated equipment and its components in their profession and to orient in the wide offer on the market.
Learning outcomes and competences:
The subject enables students to get the knowledge necessary for the application and optimal setting of relevant devices in compliance with manufacturer’s technical documentation, including operation and control elements. Students will also acquire practical skills necessary for servicing and diagnostics of simple faults of electric devices.
Prerequisites:
Fundamentals of Dynamics Mechanisms, Fundamentals of Theory of Linear Control Systems, Fundamentals of Theory Electric Machines and Apparatuses, Schemes and Function of Electric Energy Converters.
Course contents:
The course informs students on basic electric and electronic systems used in thermal, nuclear and water power plants, including further applications of thermal, hydraulic and pneumatic machines and equipment. Also dealt with are electric systems and their classification. Electric schemes of hydraulic stations. Equipment of operation and control elements in power industry. Introduction into electric equipment of waste and bio-mass incineration plants, water treatment plants and solar power conversion.
Teaching methods and criteria:
The course is taught through lectures explaining the basic principles and theory of the discipline.
According to the possibility of teaching can be organized lectures for students by practitioners and excursions to companies focused on activities related to the course content.
Assesment methods and criteria linked to learning outcomes:
The graded course-unit credit granting is conditioned by handing over an individual work concerning a pre-set topic and passing the test of presented topics. The resulting evaluation is set by point assessment according to the Study and Examination Rules of the Technical University. Students can gain points from 2 parts: 1. Written test of presented topics, 0-50 points. 2. Quality of working out individual assignments, 0-50 points.
Controlled participation in lessons:
The course contains only lectures. Missed lectures are not compensated.
