so-called clean energy. These are mainly solar and wind

The article analyzes the usefulness of renewable energy
sources (RES). Furthermore, the share of electricity production
in selected EU countries and further development of RES.
E. Wind Energy
Wind energy, like solar energy available in every part of
our planet. The greatest potential use of wind energy is located
in seaside areas, Figure 4, where they built the so-called
offshore wind farms. Wind energy is also an unstable energy
sources. However, there are a significant step change in
performance (for VTE with frequency converters), as is the
case with solar power. An important factor influencing the
location and type of wind turbine is the wind speed at the
planned construction of wind power station.
D. Solar Energy
Solar energy is considered a clean energy source that is
available in every part of our planet. Intensity distribution of
incident solar radiation at Earth's surface is shown in Figure 3.
The map shows that the greatest potential for using solar
energy is closer to the equator toward the poles and decreases
the intensity of solar radiation.
The downside of this renewable energy source is the
instability of supply of electricity, large fluctuations in power
supply and a complete shutdown at night. Despite these major
problems in solar power the fastest growing renewable energy
source.

with other EU countries is in the Czech Republic a few places
suitable for construction of a particular wind and solar power.
Most suitable for the construction of wind power is Highlands,
where the average wind speed reaches 6 m / s. For solar power
is the best location in South Moravia and Central Bohemia,
where the intensity of incident solar radiation is 1056-1140
KWh/m2.
The Czech Republic adopted the Act 180/2005 Coll. of 31
March 2005 on the promotion of electricity from renewable
energy sources and change some laws. On the basis of Law
180/2005, the proportion of renewable energy sources should
be 8% of gross electricity consumption by 2010 and create
conditions for further increasing this share by 2010.
Solar and wind power stations belongs to unstable sources
of energy and cause major problems in distribution and
transmission networks. Furthermore, takes greater demands on
the dispatcher's stores, which is economically disadvantageous.
Boom of solar power stations with installed capacity of close to
power nuclear power stations and progressively replaced the
rotary power source which affects the short-circuit conditions
in the network, because it is a soft source.
