Motto:

There is enough energy, but not at the right time and at the right place,

not always in the correct form, in the right quantity, and for the right price.

We like discussing the above‐mentioned slogans with Mrs. Drábová, the chairperson, and with every

lecture, which has already become a tradition, the words of the Motto expand. This is mainly

because Power Engineering, as well as the Department of Power Engineering experienced a number

of challenges in 2014.

The most important challenges that the Department of Power Engineering tackled successfully

include in particular the completion of the accreditation of the new study program and the field of

study Power Engineering of the 21st Century in the combined form of study (for students from

practice); we managed to complete the equipment of the Department laboratories (both from the

R&D OP p. I and the EC OP resources), we managed to complete the measurement equipment for

measuring in practice, and it has also been beneficial that we managed to maintain the interest and

intense cooperation with our industry partners.

For the years to come, I wish the Department of Power Engineering, its members and cooperating

organizations at least the same success we achieved in 2014.

Finally, I will be glad if the Department of Power Engineering will contribute to solving at least one

the “little problems” mentioned in the motto.

I would like to express my thanks to all members of the Department for their work that matches their

abilities and interests.

1 TheHistoryoftheDepartmentofPowerEngineering

The history of the Department of Power Engineering dates back to the 1950s. In 1951, three separate

faculties were established at the Technical University, among them the Faculty of Mechanical

Engineering. At that time, the Faculty established the Department of Mining and Metallurgical

Engineering as a basis for the future Department of Power Engineering. Prof. Ing. Kořínek was

appointed the head of the Department. The Department provided instruction in the area of power

machines in foundries and mines (compressors and energy management at all three faculties of VŠB.

In 1955, some employees of the Department of Mechanical Engineering were transferred to the

Department (instruction of hydro and thermodynamics, power machines, measurement and control).

The Department was renamed the Department of Power Engineering, Prof. Kořínek remained in the

position of the head.

With the exception of a brief period between 1956 and 1957, when the Department of Electrical

Engineering was annexed to it, the Department has still been part of the Faculty of Mechanical

Engineering under the same name up to the present. In 1955, the thesis writers at the Department of

Power Engineering completed their studies in the field of Machinery in Mines and Steelworks. In

1970, a new specialization in this field started to be offered under the name of Power Machinery and

Equipment with an average of 10 graduates a year.

In 1957, prof. Dr. Ing. R. Doležal was appointed the head of the Department of Power Engineering.

He went to ČVUT (Czech Technical University) in Prague at the end of 1959, and doc. Ing. J.

Dobrozemský became the head of the Department; he remained in the position until 1972. From

1972 to 1976, the department was headed by prof. Ing. F. Patrman, in the years 1976‐1984 by doc.

Ing. F. Hradil, CSc., and then until 1986 by doc. Ing. V. Podhorný. In 1986, prof. Ing. J. Dobrozemský

returned to the post of the head of the Department, and in 1991, he was replaced by prof. Ing. P.

Kolat, DrSc., who lead the department until 2010. Since 2010, the post of the head of the department

has been held by prof. Ing. Dagmar Juchelková, Ph.D.

2 ResearchandDevelopment,CooperationwithPracticeThe areas of research activity of the Department include the optimization of combustion processes,

reducing emissions of pollutants, rationalization of operation of the secondary power machines,

cogeneration units with internal combustion engines and turbines, technology of fuels including

renewable ones, alternative energy sources, diagnostics of thermal power equipment and waste

disposal and recovery. The Department staff and Ph.D. students solve or participate in solving several

grant projects.

Cooperation with practice is still focused on diagnostics, guarantee, and optimization measurements

of boilers, turbines and other power equipment, including the subsequent proposal of modifications

and reconstruction of Power Machinery, equipment for air protection, cogeneration units, etc. Our

offer of professional services includes energy consultancy. The Czech Institute for Accreditation

accredited the Department’ activities in the field of diagnostics of thermal power equipment.

Emission measurement is authorized by the Ministry of Environment of the Czech Republic.

In 2014, the Dean established three divisions, which are based on the long tradition of professional

focus of the Department
