The subject of this bachelor’s thesis is a conceptual design for a small pumped hydro energy storage at a selected location. The study presents two design options for the mecha-nical layout, utilizing centrifugal pumps operating in both pump and turbine modes at fixed operating speeds. The thesis determines the operating points for each mode and estimates the overall efficiency of the storage cycle. This is followed by an operational analysis fo-cused on assessing the profitability of the proposed cycle and its evaluation. The conclusion of the thesis compares the proposed solution with battery storage systems of similar capacity, particularly from a technical standpoint and in terms of operational characteristics.

Process of defence
Student zahájil obhajobu prezentací výsledků své závěrečné práce. Následně byly přečteny posudky vedoucího a oponenta, po kterých student zodpověděl otázky oponenta. Obhajoba pokračovala otázkami komise, které student se značnou dávkou nervozity zodpověděl. Otázky se týkaly provozních otáček a účinnosti jejich konverze mezi motorem a čerpadlem. Dále se komise ptala na umístění elektrárny a trasu přivaděče.
