This diploma thesis is focused on an analysis and design of an AC machines windings. In the theoretical part of the thesis, differences between single-layer and double-layer windings are explained. Next, the properties of a stator winding of synchronous machines are described. Finally, the winding factor is determined by means of a standard calculation method and by means of a new progressive calculation method, too. In the experimental part of this thesis, the stator winding of a high-speed synchronous generator excited by permanent magnets on the rotor is designed. This generator is driven by a steam turbine.

This diploma thesis deals with problem of water hammer in pipes affected by viscoelastic behavior of pipe material. Mathematical model uses pressure dependent speed of sound in water air mixture. For purpose of numerical solution the Method of Characteristics with independent time step is introduced. This method is compared with commonly used methods such as Method of Characteristics (MOC) and Lax Wendroff scheme. Derived model, solved with Method of Characteristics with independent time step, is verified with experimental simulation.
