OSC, a.s. Company Works with Energy
As a rule, the key issue in making an investment decision is the profitability of the project. In renewable electricity production, the inputs are not easily influenced – the water, the wind and production and use these to advantage. the sun are controlled by Nature. What, however, can be Besides testing the status of the machines influenced, is production efficiency. This of course requires themselves, it is also recommended that their specific “know-how”, equipment and, most importantly, years controllers are tested and adjusted. However, specialists of OSC, a.s., a Czech of experience. engineering company, do much more than just carrying out the above-mentioned acHYDROELECTRIC ENERGY tivities. In the area of hydropower, the company provides expert At the takeover of new production equipment, services not only for turbines in hydroelectric power plants and it is very important for the investor to verify pumps of all types, but also for fossil fuel and nuclear power the contractually declared parameters as an stations.

regulation and verification of all the required parameters. In the course of its operation, the machine wears out and the operating conditions may also change. It is therefore very important to verify regularly the actual condition of the machine and to take diagnostic measurements of still other important operating parameters (pressure pulsations, vibration, cavitation, noise), in addition to the machine´s efficiency. On the basis of the results, the optimum operational diagram of the machine is determined. The results may serve to assist the operator in deciding whether the machine needs repair or overhaul. An important task is on-cam verification of Kaplan turbines, which can easily uncover potential reserves in energy ABOUT THE COMPANY OSC, a.s. is a specialised joint-stock company founded in 1994, operating in the area of power production and control. Over the years, following successful development, it has become established on markets in and outside the Czech Republic. Hydroelectric energy services are only a part of its offer. The company provides quality engineering services and products focused on the specific needs of customers. The principal areas of its activities are: l Measurement and regulation of technological processes in power plants, and optimisation of control systems. l Development and supply of modern training simulators, especially for nuclear power plants.

As part of output control, we check all dimensions and hardness and carry out ultrasound tests in accordance with ČSN, EN, ISO, DIN, SEP, SEL, and other standards, as required by the customer. Since 1998, the company has been regularly certified according to ISO standards and holds the TÜV Management Service quality certificate. Since 2017, we have also held a certificate of technical qualification as a supplier for Czech Railways.
Production possibilities:
Heat treatment – annealing, quenching and tempering
Forging – longitudinal forgings in square, rectangular, and round cross-sections, cubes – blocks, mounted and bevelled shafts, full and perforated discs (wheels, couplings, flanges), die forgings, forgings with forged heads (carriers, axles), shaped and smooth rolled rings, open die rings, hollow bodies.
Machining – maximum external ring diameter 2,500 mm, minimum internal ring diameter 300 mm, maximum thickness of the ring wall 150 mm, minimum height of the divided ring 30 mm, maximum weight of the divided piece 1300 kg.
Testing of Materials
Mechanical tests (static – tensile test, dynamic – bend impact test, hardness test – Brinell)
Structural evaluation (macrostructure tests – Braumann method, microstructure testing – grain size, micro-purity, evaluation of carbide phases)
Dimension control (internal defects – ultrasound test, surface defects – capillary test, magnetic test)
Chemical composition (spectrometric test)
We make 5000 wheel tyres a year. We process 7,225 tons of steel a year. We have 63 years of experience.

CZECH TOURISM AUTHORITY – CZECHTOURISM
The Czech Tourism Authority - CzechTourism is an allowance organisation of the Ministry for Regional Development and its goal is the successful presentation of the Czech Republic on the domestic and foreign markets. It uses its central office in the Czech Republic for that as well as its network of foreign offices both in other European countries, including Germany, the UK, and Spain and in non-European countries such as China, Brazil, and the United States. The basic objective of the network of foreign CzechTourism representative agencies is to promote the Czech Republic in the respective markets, build brand awareness of destinations and stimulate the volume of arrivals of foreign visitors to the Czech Republic. CzechTourism Agency branches offer a wide range of promotional activities. Their basic tools include campaigns (on-line, print and outdoor), press and excursion tours, road shows, participation in trade fairs, promotional events, organising presentations and workshops, collaboration with foreign and Czech entities and establishing and developing contacts with strategic partners. The main vision of the CzechTourism Authority is shaping a new perception of the Czech Republic. It is precisely a change in the perception of tourism by the residents themselves and increasing their brand loyalty to the “Czech Republic” in the context of domestic and incoming tourism that is one of the fundamental objectives of the agency for the coming period. CzechTourism promotes the Czech Republic brand on the domestic and foreign market on several levels. It participates in dozens of domestic and foreign tourism fairs and publishes sets of publications, brochures and maps in several languages attracting visitors to the Czech regions. An important element of promoting the Czech Republic abroad is to introduce tourism potential through press and excursion tours, i.e. trips to the Czech Republic designated for foreign journalists and tour operators. Another agenda is to support major domestic events of both a local and international character. The promotion of the Czech Republic in the field of congress and incentive tourism on the domestic and foreign market is the mission of the Czech Convention Bureau, closely cooperating with the various regional offices, covering the work of the regions, thus contributing to maximising the utilisation of all the congress potential that the Czech Republic has to offer.
