Learning outcomes
The students are acquainted with the different types of electrical and heat energy sources, principles of energies production, devices assembly of production units, regulation of power and implementation to the power systems.
Students are acquainted with energy media, their properties and transformations. Students will learn about the activities of traditional and non-traditional sources of heat and electricity, especially coal, nuclear and water. Within the individual energy units, students will know the technological arrangement and principle of operation of individual devices and students will be able to calculate the generated electrical and thermal output of the power station and its efficiency.
