Energy is one of the most important physical quantities. Field of energy is a term, which includes processes related to conversion of energy from one form into another or into the work. Field of  energy is a science that encompasses the conversion, trading, transmission, supply and use of energy. The content of the course provides basic facts and practical information in the field of energy. The most important sources of energy and ways of their use are presented. Processes related to the conversion, transmission and use of energy are shown and described. The environmental impacts related to conversion, transmission and use of energy are emphasized.

Students will get a comprehensive view of energy demand and exploitation of primary energy resources. They will acquire basic knowledge in the field of electric power supply through learning about the electric energy conversion, its transmission and distribution. The subject highlights the environmental aspects, the impact of the electricity market the development of new technologies, renewable energy sources (wind, water, solar, biomass) and efficient use of energy.
