Cíle předmětu
The aim of the course is to cover the basic mechanics, designs and technologies of energy-producing devices and installations. The main attention is focused on explaining the mechanisms and operations of energy production plants and some important features of technology and economy/economics for conducting an energy-focused research or assessing an energy policy. The course thus deals mostly with following main areas: the production chains, the usage of energy commodities, the relation between energy and economy, and how the energy commodities are marketed. The course Energy Commodities I consists of topics of principles of electricity production, transport and consumption, coal industry, nuclear energy, renewables and modern technologies, trends of the technological and the economic aspects of an energy sector and other topics. Electrification of industry and consumption is a modern trend increasing the demand on production and quality of electricity. The course thus responds to modern trends in worldwide energy policy.
