Not applicable.

Students will get a basic about electric energy generation in various technological processes.

The subject knowledge on the secondary school level is required.

Not applicable.

Teaching methods depend on the type of course unit as specified in the article 7 of BUT Rules for Studies and Examinations.

Point scoring of written and oral examination is held under the rules of FEEC.
During the semester, students are obliged to pass four control written tests, laboratory tasks and voluntary individual tasks. Requirements to get the credit are to obtain at least 20 points from 40 possible and NONE of the required activities (tests, laboratory tasks) is evaluated with 0 points.
The final exam is evaluated by up to 60 points and is divided into written (arithmetical problems) and an oral part. Necessary requirement to pass the examination is to obtain at least 12 points from the written part and at least 20 points from the oral part.

Lectures:

1. Energy sources, electric power generation in the Czech Republic, the basic energy concepts and terminology
2. Condensing power plants, thermal cycle, technological circuits and equipment - calculations of thermal cycles
