Foreword
The use of renewable energy sources has been known for many millennia; their importance, however, has not been fully appreciated until the present time. Although many of us do not like it, we are consuming increasingly more energy. The boom in industrial production and a high living standard of part of mankind brought along a vast expansion of equipment using electricity. Today, the electricity and energy industry is the most important sector of the global economy. Basically, it can be said that we already cannot imagine any current human activity without a reliable functioning of this sector. Energy self-sufficiency is discussed and addressed at both national and international levels, not only in our country. Today, the matter is rather political than technical or professional. It is often stated that the cheapest energy is the energy which is not produced (sorry, “law of conservation …”). However, the energy shortage is more expensive. Increasingly higher demands of the society on energy consumption are r
