Course detail

Elektroenergetický management

FEKT-BPC-EMTAcad. year: 2025/2026

Electric power engineering is one of the very dynamic sectors of the national economy, which is undergoing constant change. At present, among the most prominent topics is the area of carbon neutrality, which entails a gradual transition to electric power generation by renewable sources, emission-free mobility based on electric vehicles or the need to store electricity in different forms and at different levels of the electric power system. These innovations require modern technical solutions together with new business models that benefit all stakeholders.

The course in electricity management provides students with the opportunity to extend the basic knowledge of electrical power engineering acquired in the course of their studies to date, both theoretically and practically. It focuses on current trends and challenges in a cross-sectional way in several areas such as electric power generation, distribution and consumption, etc. The main focus is on electric power and energy management concepts in broader units consisting of buildings, electric vehicles, renewable energy sources and energy storage, while each functional unit is also discussed individually. In addition to the technical aspects, the course discusses the efficient use of electricity from an economic and environmental point of view, as well as related legislation.

Entry knowledge

Knowledge at 2nd year level of electrical engineering, power generation, power distribution, power electronics and electrical machinery and apparatus is required.

Work in the laboratory is subject to a valid 'instructed person' qualification, which students must obtain prior to commencing teaching. Information on this qualification is provided in the Dean's guideline called "Seznámení studentů s bezpečnostními předpisy". 

Rules for evaluation and completion of the course

The resulting course evaluation is in accordance with the applicable FEKT rules. Course completion requirements may be modified as needed by a course guarantor's decree issued prior to the start of the semester.

Credit (40 points):

  • two individual tasks - 10 points total (2x5 points, assignments based on knowledge acquired during computer exercises, assigned during the semester)
  • six laboratory assignments - 30 points in total (entrance test before the laboratory assignment 6x1 points, without successful completion it is not possible to carry out the measurement - minimum 0.5 points; preparation of the measurement report 6x4 points)

The credit reflects the ability to apply the acquired knowledge in individual creative activities, the readiness for teaching and the level of submitted protocols.

Final exam (60 points):

  • practical part - 20 points
  • oral part - 40 points

The final examination is divided into a practical and an oral part. The practical part is aimed at verifying the knowledge acquired during the laboratory training, specifically the wiring and operation of the selected task. The objective of the oral part is to verify the theoretical knowledge through two randomly drawn topics.

A minimum score of 21 points for the assessed activities is a prerequisite for the award of credit. None of the activities may be scored with 0 points. The examination is subject to a minimum of 10 points in the practical part and 10 points in the oral part. 

Aims

The aim of the course is to familiarize students with the technical, economic, ecological and legislative principles and concepts that are currently taking shape in the field of electric power engineering, specifically in the subfield of distributed renewable energy sources, energy storages and electric vehicles. The focus is on the management of energy flows in these areas in relation to individual buildings as well as wider communities.

Among other things, the graduate of the course is able to:

  • explain the principles of the management of renewable energy sources and appliances in buildings.
  • explain the principles of storage systems, their integration into energy and electricity management in buildings, hybrid systems and charging stations
  • describe hybrid systems in terms of architecture, individual components, control and operating modes
  • analyse the energy management of buildings
  • discuss modern management concepts in the field of charging infrastructure and bi-directional energy flow in the context of electric vehicles
  • calculate energy and power balances of buildings with RES using simulation tools
  • understand the energy legislation
