The document discusses alternative energy sources in the Czech Republic, including hydro, wind, solar, biomass, and biogas. Hydro energy comes from major dams like Orlík and Slapy as well as new storage hydro plants. Solar farms use countless photovoltaic panels. Wind energy requires altitude over 600 meters and is found in places like Jesenicko. Biomass combustion produces minimal CO2 and can be utilized at home, powering over 120,000 homes. Biogas produces electrical energy and heat from stations like Cicov, powering several thousand homes.

●
The most important ones - “Orlík“, “Slapy“, “Lipno“
Storage hydro power plants
–
“Dlouhé stráně“

5. “Dlouhé stráně (Long slopes)“ - upper water tank

6. How it works

7. Solar energy
●
Countless fotovoltaic panels - “Solar farms“
–
Used to supply local homes

8. Typical solar powerplant – Fotovoltaic
panel

10. Wind energy
●
There where is wind, eg. Mountain ranges
●
Requires altitude over 600 meters above sea level
–
For example: “Jesenicko“

11. Common Wind powerplant used in the Czech Republic

12. Biomass energy
●
Biomass combustion produces minimal CO2
●
Cheap and easily available
●
Can be utilized at home
●
National energy production covers 120 000 homes
(with electricity produced by combustion of biomass)

13. Biogas energy
●
Produces both electrical energy and heat (hot water)
●
Powers up several thousand of homes
Biogas station “Číčov“
