This thesis presents the design and implementation of a laboratory hydropower plant model intended for demonstration and educational purposes. The hydraulic circuit consists of a Calpeda NGX 6/22 circulation pump controlled by an ABB ACS355 variable frequency drive and a Banki turbine designed and manufactured for the model's operating conditions. The turbine is mechanically coupled to a 42BLF03 BLDC generator via a spur gear transmission. The electrical section employs an X-NUCLEO-IHM08M1 power shield for active rectification of the three-phase generator output using six-step commutation control. The system is controlled by an STM32 Nucleo F303RE microcontroller, which manages flow regulation, speed and current measurement, and communication with a Weintek MT8050iE HMI panel via Modbus RTU over RS-485. The functionality of the individual measurement and control subsystems was verified experimentally.

Process of defence
Při obhajobě student nejprve prezentoval svoji diplomovou práci, následně byly přečteny posudky a student odpovídal na dotazy oponenta. Poté byly členy komise položeny následující otázky: Jaké má výhody Bánkiho turbína oproti jiným? Jakou bude mít turbína životnost? Čím jste lepil turbínu? Obhajoba byla komisí hodnocena jako výborná.
